I do not worry much about abuse of a national id system with Bush and Ashcroft in charge. The Republican administration has been waging war against external forces, and not against Americans with different views as the Clintonistas and other Democrats have and will continue to do. Recall that the Clintonistas used tax records against those that disagreed with them. Think the unthinkable: that Bush's popularity declines after the war declines or ceases, like his father's did after the Gulf war, and that Hitlary Clintonista is elected president. I shudder to think how she would use a national id system and the Patriot Act. Does anyone on this thread doubt that she would use such and all means available to her to wage war against Americans who do not agree with her Marxist views of a bureaucratic, oppressive, socialist, paternalistic government that has no room for thoughts that are contrary to her views?

After their support for the PATRIOTS Act, I no longer feel that way.
