YOUR PAPERS, PLEASE …Is coming national ID 'mark of the beast'?

We don't enforce the undocumented laws now, how would a new ID change that?


How many times have Americans made that statement?

"The government will never get away with that! The people won't allow it!"

They didn't allow many, many attempts at a national ID, then it was sneaked into the wording of a bill, that, if voted against, would have a person labeled as anti-war, or anti-american...

We already have SSN, Drivers Licenses, Birth Certificates.

I had to provide my SSN when I got my drivers license. You already can't board an Airplane without proper ID.

Claiming that you won't be able to buy consumer goods is a little over the top IMO.

Yawn.

What's all the fuss about. I've had a national ID since 1967. It's called a passport.

Actually, USA Patriot Act an acronym that stands for:

"Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act"

[rattrap]

Patriot isn't "Patriot" it's U.S.A.P.A.T.R.I.O.T.

"Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism"

I wonder how much they paid someone to come up with that snappy acronym.

Well, if you believe the Bible I'm not going to be here, and neither will a lot of people, so why worry? I know, I always get caught in this threads... it is interesting to see prophecy become reality. But worried? Not me!

[Crispus Attucks Patriot]

What whackjobs? And how are they going to get us all killed?

I hope to God you're not being a "Good Little German" and buying all this "we need this to keep safe from terrorism" malarkey.

[sinkspur]

Of course you're talking about the federal government and the activist supreme court.

No. I'm talking about goofball end-timers. Some of these same people have conniption fits over illegal immigration, yet don't want a simple way to identify who's illegal and who is not.

[Yo-Yo]

How long before we are required to carry "domestic passports" in order to fly, ala the 1070s Soviet Union?

[right way right]

Whose the beast?

Bump!

Amen brother

They have to make sure it works first. Imagine all the wonderful new taxation opportunities and departments of vice once RF tags are implanted under the skin of every newborn child (and eventually every fetus, perhaps). Put a biochemical sensor in it as well (there are tiny ones now, the size of a grain of rice) and you can impose cholesterol, fat, sugar, tabacco, booze, or whatever other tax the nanny-state wants.

Keep in mind who will be to blame for this (I say "will" because the sheeple will not complain) - the authoritarian neo-communist haters of liberty and the constitution.

Ever seen this?

How is a national ID card any more simple than a state issued ID or SSN? Don't give me this 'unforgeable' nonsense either, if it's made it can be forged.

[Andonius_99]

thanks for saying that...you've put into words the feeling I've felt deep down since that act was enacted. I'm sure the BushBots(TM) will be here to attack and justify the act soon, but until then, let's just enjoy the moment...

[plain talk]

We already have a national ID card that can serve the purpose - it's a Social Security card. We just need to tighten that up and use it for national ID purposes. We need a mechanized way of verifying whether a person is a citizen or not on a national basis.

[Al Gator]

My personal opinion on this is that W. and a few of his folks want national ID so badly, they will let the borders collapse and let illegal aliens riot in the street.

When the backlash occurs, national ID will be a slam dunk.

Would W. do such a thing???

[sinkspur]

What whackjobs?

Are you asking that with a straight face?

[shuckmaster]

I was against the national ID until you started trying to scare me with superstitious magic numbers. Have you ever noticed that elevators never stop on the 666th floor?
