A Liberal Perspective on Gerrymandering the United States

Writer, provocateur, and severely intellectually and morally
afflicted individual, Bonnie Erbe, has finally put pen to paper and
divulged another piece of the puzzle that the left truly believes
should be enacted to perpetuate their comprehensive annexing of the
United States under the wing of the Democrat Party. Erbe obviously
eschews any form of the rule of law, or Constitutional mandates, as do
most from the left. She states, quite factually, that the U.S. has a
formal history of using the census for political gain, and to not do so
would be un-American. Her diminutive intellect, as usual, seems to be
unable to distinguish between substantiated facts and fantastical
cogitations ricocheting around the vacuous hollow within her cranium.
Yet to her credit, she is able to capture those fantasies meandering
around her head and put them on paper. God bless her. The following is
her beseeching the Democrat Party to hijack the Census Bureau and use
it to increase their reign over the United States Congress, and thus,
the nation.

Democrats Must Keep Politics in 2010 Census; Gerrymander–and Gender-mander–Away!

By Bonnie Erbe, Thomas Jefferson Street blog.

Get a good laugh out of the lead paragraph in an article in today’s Washington Post:

House Democrats will unveil a measure today that would separate the
U.S. Census Bureau from the Commerce Department and make it an
independent government agency similar in design to the National
Institutes of Health or NASA.

Depoliticize the Census? Surely they jest! Taking politics out of
the Census is like taking milk out of the cow or coal out of Newcastle
or diamonds out of Tiffany. Politics is the lifeblood of the
Census-without politics, there is no Census.

The Census is part of the spoils of victory for whichever party
controls the White House at the turn of each decade.
Gerrymandering-using Census data to create voting districts that
artificially lean toward one end of the political spectrum or the
other-is as uniquely an American tradition as Thanksgiving. The thought
of trying to depoliticize the census is, well, decidedly un-American.

Every political interest group wants a piece of Census action.
Hispanics and Latinos want to make sure immigrants aren’t
under-counted. Religious groups want to make sure their members aren’t
under-counted. I’ve even heard feminist leaders talking, since the
November elections, about using the Census to gender-mander: to create
voting districts with large percentages of poor, single and widowed
women, who tend to skew Democratic.

So gerrymander away with the 2010 Census and spare us the theatrics of trying to look nonpartisan.

It is becoming increasingly exacting to distinguish whether or not
the nescience of current liberal thought-smiths are expanding
exponentially, or whether they are simply getting larger forums from
once well-respected publications, as in this case, U.S. News and World Report. Writers,
such as Erbe , and entire publications–are setting the criterion for
uncultivated and uncultured exposition. Where do they get their
audience? Unfortunately, as was manifested this past election cycle,
one half of this nation obviously hungers for intellectual macabre.
