“I have no problem with a national ID card”
The problem is that with that ID the federal govenrment can control you very easily. They only need to mandate it for use to buy gas (because it involves federal taxes), to rent an apartment or buy a home (because they involve federal agencies involved with mortgages), to travel (interstate regulations), and they can deny your rights to do so. Total control over your purchases and movements. It has been used in the Soviet Union and other Marxist places, and don’t forget, Obama is a Marxist by his own admission and so is half the Congress. They want that type of control and have said so very clearly over the years.
During WWII, we had no ID card, yet food, fuel, & housing rentals were regulated by the Feds.
The Feds already know who we are, our age & sex, our income & occupation, where we live & work, our home value, & many other things. I’d say they have all the info they need to enslave us.
The only solution to tyranny is revolution. Forget petty battles over proper ID. Our current lack of an ID card has not stopped the tyranny we experience today. We need a good, secure ID to protect against identity theft & to help identify enemies & illegals w/i our midst. If it facilitates tyranny, then get rid of the tyrants, not the ID card.
