Big brother might be just around the corner. Secretary of Commerce Gary Loche announced on January 7 plans for a National ID Card for the internet.
Their plan is straightforward. Instead of logging onto Facebook or one's bank using separate passwords established with each individual company or website, the White House will take the lead in developing what it calls an "identity ecosystem" that will centralize personal information and credentials. This government-approved system would issue a smart card or similar device that would confirm an individual's identity when making online credit-card purchases, accessing electronic health care records, posting "anonymous" blog entries or even logging onto one's own home computer, according to administration documents.
Here is the biggest laugh of all:
Officials insist this would be a voluntary program and deliver significant benefits to the public.[...]

Well, okay; I lived for a looooooonnnnggg time without the internet. Meeting people face to face will become a welcome change. - The Williamsburg taverns did nicely for the founding fathers back in their day; an internet of sorts.
(Aimed at O’Bunghole, of course!)
Good one! LMAO
Oh brother!!! Not again, will they quit already this is getting old. Next you’ll know they are demanding that ever home have a camera so the gubmint can watch every move we make. Oh, just to make sure we are all safely tucked into bed at night.
I never thought as conservatives we would be calling Russia a more free country than the United States. Vladimir Putin must be laughing. What the hell, on this forum I have stated that I have more respect for that ruthless Chekist than the current occupant of the White House. Scary indeed!
You forgot China.
“Big brother might be just around the corner.”
Around the corner?
“The Internal Passport comes into being.”
And when does Barry Dunham implement Article 58 from to old Soviet Constitution?
We know the democrat/marxist mainstream media won't cover this. The media could easily stop this by giving it 1/100000 the attention it gave the bp oil “disaster, 1/billionth the attention to the global warming hoax, or 1/10 the attention the media gave to Giffords opening her eyes.
The democrat mainstream media controls this country which is why we are headed toward socialist tyranny.
Mark of the beast - government approval to buy and sell.
So zots will now be handled by Homeland Security now?
Looks like the viking kitties are out of a job.
Welcome to 21st Century Fascist apps.
“...on your forehead.”
Combined with a pledge to worship Barry?
Here it comes! Where is your foundation? Solid rock or sinking sand?
They’re going to be dealing with people who managed to get along without all the new fan-dangled technology we have available today. WE DID IT BEFORE and WE CAN DO IT AGAIN!!! Old timers will remember the song. We could make it our theme song.
Would we like to go without the convenience of paying bills , ordering with credit/debit cards, banking etc., all online? NO, but we could get used to it.
The Republican House should defund the agency that tries to implement this fascist bullcrap.
Obama has unmitigated gall.
Sure, you give up some freedom but there are significant benefits, such as security ... Loche
Let us think about it for about 22 months, two weeks.
“He will try to do it with an executive order or through a bureaucracy quietly under the radar.”
That’s why Commerce is rolling it out!
