"Liberal" or Modernist "Christians" are those who have lost their faith (origin is in German-school deism) but either think they are doing a service by destroying the faith of others, or are deeply confused and hold on to a vaguely theistic moralistic something that gives some meaning to their lives. Quite different from Christianity, which believes that the Bible is actually true.

So you say. But the census bureau had no record that you had actually done so, apparently. Are we to believe that THAT MANY were lost in the mail? I run into that claim a lot. I don't challenge it, sometimes it might even be true, but the rules are we have to enumerate, even if you claim 'it is in the mail'.

Criminal background checks are performed on everyone applying and testing to work for the census.

Indie Mom, you tell the truth. It would be a hoot if you were my CLD, your experiences seem identical.

That fits with my experience where I work, too. I believe James O'Keefe, but I have trouble with some of the commentators' claims and generalizations.

I have seen none of these things. I have seen typical government stupidity (hyper accuracy in some ways and sloppiness in others) and bureaucratic thinking, I know illegals are enumerated, that the homeless potentially are enumerated more than once, if they are counted asleep in a park, and again at a soup kitchen, but none of the things you people are claiming. We all receive criminal background checks before we are hired, in addition to the usual testing.

The Census has grown from counting legal voters for representation (that was foiled by the Slave States who wanted to count their slaves to add to the value of their own votes right when the Constitution was being argued out) to providing statistics for returning money to local area the fed never ought to have collected in the first place. But you don't fix this sort of thing by bad-mouthing your neighbors who need jobs and are actually willing to work! You do that by getting involved politically and changing congress over the long haul.

So why did the Department of Commerce have no record of you allegedly sending in your census form on time? Lack of evidence you having done so is what would have generated the computer report that your address still needed to be ennumerated.

Wrong. If you won't respond, we will be back. Those are the rules. If you want to cut waste, obey the law in the first place!

I have seen no one sitting around doing nothing!!! Granted, I'm not on the coasts or in a big city.
