Rep. Michele Bachmann

US Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R) Minn. has another bee up her bonnet. She is urging her constituents to not fill out their census forms.

The federal government may use that data to put you in internment camps. She claims it has happened before. Click here to see another fear the fearful Representative from Minnesota's 6th District has as she has forecasted re-education camps for boys.

She is determined to be the face of the political right and will stir up controversy even though there is nothing there. Actually, she agrees that she will fill out the census. It will be  parially filled out but not all of it. She is willing to go part way with the census but views the procedure as  as a constitutional menace after she has answered only the part where it asks how many people live in the house.

She intones that numbers using the census figures was used as a way to round up the Japenese Americans durring WWll. Not that the Barack Obama administration would ever do such a thing (wink, wink) but they could. They could do something nefarious and as a matter of fact (heh, heh) they are probably doing so this very minute in the world according to Congresswoman Wicky Wacky.

It's kind of cherry picking which (breathless) protest to sound an alarm for. First she creates a controversy and then comes down hard on her way of thinking, attacking the left who never gave much weight to these puff-ball issues as much as Congresswoman Wicky Wacky has manufactured.

She seems to be so very afraid of the government of which she is a part of. There does't seem to be one thing the government can do for her or her constituents to help in the day to day lives of the 6th District. The government is evil in every way. It seems that, in her way of thiking the government is out to get you. She cannot seem to acknowledge that government can be used as a helpful tool for Americans,  a part of the solution instead of always being the problem.

Her rants about un-Americans in congress, fears of a global economic conspiracy, sending young men and women to re-education camps and now the whole census thing has given her the top branch of the tree to crow from. The problem is she has nothing substantial to crow about. She is loud, though.
