Thank you, TEA Party
o
Who wouldda thunk it? Juanita s perfectly delighted with the Tea Party people today, after she read this —
Contrary to historical trends, the Houston Chronicle notes one of the toughest challenges facing U.S. Census officials is “not from counting the traditionally undercounted groups such as African-Americans and Latinos. Instead, a new and growing threat to an accurate national head count is coming from anti-government conservatives who may not fill out their forms to protest against ‘Big Brother’ in Washington.”
In Texas, some of the counties with the lowest census return rates are among the state’s most Republican, including Briscoe County in the Panhandle, 8 percent; King County, near Lubbock, 5 percent; Culberson County, near El Paso, 11 percent; and Newton County, in deep East Texas, 18 percent. Most other counties near the bottom of the list are heavily Hispanic counties along the Texas-Mexico border.
“Oh yes,” she whoops, “ten years after Tom DeLay tried to marginalize the Democratic Party by gerrymandering Texas to his liking, his co-hearts are going to reverse the tables by shooting themselves in the foot.”
It could not happen to a more deserving bunch of people.
“And, all the old white people don’t forget, sending in your census is the first step to indoctrinating your grandchildren to be transgendered tattooed welfare queens who smoke dope and vote Democratic. Don’t take that risk,” she warns.

My form wants to know how many people are living in my house as of April 1. Since that hasn’t come yet, and I’m loath to give false information, I’m waiting until then to send mine back. I’m sure that’s all that is happening in all those Republicant strongholds down your way. Either that or else they’re following the lead of the TX Board of Education and refusing to read.
1This is great news. I hope it’s a national trend.
2Yeah, I saw this story a couple of days ago and thought, “Thank God, their stupidity will surely work against them.” I mean, how ignorant do they have to be? LOL!
3Great, the folks that brought us the Patriot Act now have concerns about privacy. More on these nuts..

B C, thanks for the link. These people who don’t want the gumment in their lives will find they’re not too happy when the gumment is out of it. They’re willing to shoot themselves in the foot to make a point. Well, from what I’ve seen and read on the teevee and the intertubes, no one has ever called them smart.
