"Not too surprising really. The Census is a truly democratic institution that identifies minority populations and socialistically funnels resources to them. An accurate census has been the bellwether of democracy for generations of distrustful immigrants. In the historical past, new immigrants had to be lubricated with promises that the government had their best interest in mind, because immigrants had learned to lie to the government every chance they had. Bachmann's fear of census taking is a throwback to a century ago." - Rachel Cogent
