The patriot movement is "kind of extreme." An underlying theme of much of the patriot movement and the associated militia movment is that the government is "the enemy" and anything associated with the government must be resisted.

Ah ok. Maybe I'm just not seeing the distinction. How is that attitude different from not wanting a government in the first place?

Because the patriot movement doesn't see government as per se undesirable like anarchists would. The patriot movement sees the current US government (including to some degree state governments) as a tyrannical move away from proper constitutional government and toward the One World Order.

i am kind of LULZ at the guy who said "I won't give them my phone number, they can look it up!" if it is listed, what's the big deal? Furthermore if he just forked it over the government wouldn't have to pay a census worker to look it up or come to his house to ask questions.

i took the census test Wednesday and the woman said "No, you cannot carry a fire arm, even if you have a permit for conceal carry." No one left but she said people usually do. Also, I may be selected for a temporary position as this is a rural area and people may have to be contacted in person, which made me valuable to them with an AWD vehicle.

Not only that but he probably had all that information and more on his TAX forms!
