Not too bad of a commentary regarding national ID cards from the “mother country”.

[txzman]

Every tool to support freedom is a double-edged sword that must be handled very carefully. Unfortunately we are living in an age where another Hitler or Stalin will not have to work so hard to control their people.

"If you've nothing to hide, why object to carrying a card?"

This specious accusation-in-disguise distracts from the fundamental fact that forcing someone to prove in advance he meets certain basic requirements determined by the state turns the presumption of innocence (essential for liberty) on its ear. One who fails to or refuses to meet the criteria set by the state is deemed deficient and therefore suspect prima facea.

Denigration of the right to privacy is the state's overthrow of the conscience as a person's authority; it's the ultimate tax.

Death-to-databases.

After disarming the people and watching them constantly on cameras, a national ID card is just one tiny straw on the already broken camel.

To grantee freedom that will be taken away by the Rats, we must have thumb printed national ID’s to insure fraud free elections.

Think St Louis, Chicago, Memphis and Philadelphia where elections are now exercises of futility

With out absolute ID and proof of citizenship all liberty will disappear.

Brits allowed massive video surveillance and now they are alarmed by ID cards? With every new layer, it becomes more and more difficult to unwind the tyranny and insults to liberty. Libertarians and the Bible do not call the State a Leviathan, a beast with its own personality and appetite for power for nothing.

"Among the basic civil rights in this country, there has always been, at least in theory, an inclination towards liberal democracy, which includes a tolerance of an individual's right to privacy."

Well, THAT explains their extensive use of surveillance cameras in their cities...

Prophecy is becoming more clear. There is justification for ID cards in our world. 666....the mark of the beast... is near!
