Done.

Welcome. Neighbor.

Amen! Thanks!

forget it, I found it duh!

It keeps the King of England outa your face! (ignore the fact that that doesn't make any sense, it's just funny)

yeah, what can you do...damn constitution, always getting in the way!

Amen Brother! I get a bit ticked when my friends show up unannounced as well. I may be in the middle of something. And they seem to always come to the back door. And they knock and just ignore the doorbell button. Must be a born-and-raised-in-TN thing.

Works for me! Game over. Sweet. My favorite part was where they saw the Navy ship appear the next day and could then see the flag. I got a lump in my throat just reading it. Maybe they'll make a movie about this in a few years.

True. Not everything is a conspiracy theory, but they've given us many reasons not to trust them. Some people don't realize the need to look just a hair beneath the surface of things. While many things may be taken at face value, everything is not always that way. It is up to reasonable people to examine things to be able to discern when something passes the smell test and when something doesn't. When they flat out tell you that they're going to come to your house and do this or take that...it's a bit too late to do anything about it. They're not going to do that. That's not how they operate. The government works like the devil. Like a termite. Like an embezzler. A little bit at a time. Tiny increments. They whittle away. That way you don't notice it until it's too late. As they are doing this, 98% of the people say to the other 2% at each step, "oh, what they're doing is no big deal. stop whining. stop being so paranoid. you're over reacting." If they do this enough times consistently, eventually things are radically different from the beginning, but it didn't happen overnight to where it was obviously noticeable. Just remember, Vegas works the same way. They guarantee a 98% return! Do it enough times and there's nothing left.

Yes. They were. However it was run by a non-partisan entity. Now you have ACORN involved, and just in case anyone missed all of the big news a month or so ago, Obama wanted the White House to take control of the 2010 Census. Now, just because we haven't heard anything in the news in a few weeks on that, I don't just automatically assume that he's quietly backed down and gone away on the matter. I think that he's just quiet on the matter, and that he's going to do what he's going to do, everyone else be damned. He's pretty much proven that already. But hey, if you guys think everything thing is cool, people walking around in yards where they don't need to be, geo-tagging coordinates that they could easily get from city planners, satellite or even Google Maps, then I guess I shouldn't worry my pretty little head about it 'cause there must be nothing to it. With my tin foil hat on I can think of two nefarious reasons for geo-tagging people's front doors, and neither includes anything like missiles or anything stupid like that. More of a vertical watching type thing and a quick response type thing. A martial law type thing is a possibility in all of this mess (not just census related) as well.

Will get right on that! Here's something a friend just emailed me - Obama and ACORN GPS Marking EVERY Front Door in America? or Surprise! Census Comes Early, With A GPS To Map Your FRONT DOOR | Right Soup Draw your own conclusions.

Most houses have the address on the front side. Or the mailbox or curb.

I'm hungry NOW! Sure, sounds good to me.

I would request of the city planning dept. to post speed reduction signs there (both ways - minus 10mph reduction) and a flashing yellow light at the cross-section. I've seen other bad intersections that I've warned the city about before and they ignored it.

Only non-liberal houses need to be questioned. They might have guns, bibles and use independent thought. An Obama bumper sticker will get a pass by. We need to stock up on Obama stickers! Principal Skinner: "That's two independent thought alarms in one day. Willie, the children are over-stimulated. Remove all the colored chalk from the classrooms."

Several friends and I all went and took (and passed) the test to work for the Census. Not one of us was ever called back. We are all Republicans. Coincidence? And I thought it was called the 'census', as in the "U.S. Census Bureau"? On their website they are calling it "American Community Survey". My parents didn't like people coming around poking their nose where it didn't belong back in the 60's. Now I absolutely agree. Obama and ACORN are running this thing now. Let's see how radically district statistics seem to "change" after they are through. Sign me up for some tinfoil, because I'm going to need a lot on this subject.

Doesn't the IRS already have that info?

Why the need for more than one trip? Why the need for any trips? I thought that they used to just send you the form in the mail.

This thread explains a lot... A friend of mine took his class 2-3 weeks ago and then showed me the 'badge' a few days later. This is the class that he took, at the Sheriff Dept. He doesn't even have his permit yet, but he has his badge! Interestingly, he has had another type of non-official badge for years and has gotten into some trouble with that one. I can only dream of the trouble this one is going to cause.
