We have to end terrorism. That means ending terrorists. By any and all means necessary.

Do you really mean that? Would you support a national identity card if that would help? Would you give up your right to privacy? Etc., etc., etc...

[Terry Mross]

Yes! I would proudly carry a national I.D. card the same way I proudly wear a U.S. Flag pin on my collar. A national I.D. card would simply say "I'm proud to be a citizen of this great country!"

"Would you support a national identity card if that would help? Would you give up your right to privacy? Etc., etc., etc..."

A soundbite I heard on the radio this morning from an unnamed politician on the subject of liberties and security:

"The Bill of Rights" is not a suicide pact."

Those words brought the current conundrum into sharp focus for me. The Founding Fathers may have feared, but not intended, that our Freedoms would be used against us as a defensive weapon by our enemies. Your screen namesake was the first president to face this issue head on in a fight for America's very survival. Well, here we go again!

A national ID card would be absolutely useless. We already have them - Social Secuirty cards. Practically every US citizen has one and so do millions of illegals.

Any skilled terrorist organization can manufacture ID cards. Cards are no defense. Tight borders are.
