So our Congressmen believe the way to save America is to trash our freedo. Please freep Speaker Hastert Phone:202-225-2976 fax:202-225-0697 e-mail:dhastert@mail.house.gov
Tell your representatives this is NOT an acceptable option, and that NO freedom loving American will comply.

[Xenalyte]

The Constitution aside, we already have that card. It's called a Social Security card, and I can't do a damn thing without it. (More's the pity.)

[cbkaty]

....Hmmmmmm.... the mark of the beast...or terror? I will fight terror as a man without the mark...thank you very much!

Did Congressman David Dreier mention that he too is 'considering National IDs?' Because by his definition, EVERYONE is 'considering' it, including him. What is really happening is that in the list of 50 million ways to respond to terrorism, the National ID happens to be on the list. So does 'Nuking the entire Middle East,' 'dropping pork bombs', deporting Janet Reno to Palestine, and every other possibility that planners can think of both good or bad or logical or illogical. So ANYONE who looks at the list is 'considering the National ID' - that does NOT mean that all of the people in office are SERIOUSLY considering it, and it does NOT mean that anyone has endorsed the idea.

I can't help but think we could all be running around with our ID number tatooed on our forearm, as well of some kind of super-encoded, electronic tag implanted under our skin asses, and STILL the 400% turnover, minumum wage, rent-a-pig high sk00l dropout will screw up.

Before this, could they please change the stupid tax system to a simple one that has a flat rate that's the same for everybody or a national sales tax? But before that, could they pass a law that Congress is only in session for six months every other year? Do that first, then they can mandate a national ID card. If the ID card legislation also contains a provision that disolves every state and just makes one real big one.

Speaker Hastert Considering National ID Card

Speaker Hastert Considering National ID Card = Speaker Hastert Considering End to Congressional Career

Denny, baby, don't finish the work on the U.S. that Osama started. You can't destroy the village to save it. Don't even think in this direction.

[Tench_Coxe]

This brings to mind a Ray Bradbury story about a man stopped by the police ( now run robotically ) for doing nothing more than walking alone at night while the rest of society stayed indoors.

[lavaroise]

I have always wondered why they mandate an ID for legal aliens but not illegal ones. Now Hastert want an ID for all citizens, but foreigners and illegal aliens, the cesspool of terrorism, will be left untouched again. What a crock of dung. This sounds like gun control: control the legal eagles, let the snoops roam free, ah! what a joke.

[OrioleFan]

Clintoon (the number 1 citizen or public enemy number 1 depending on how you look at it) has asked for the first national identity card. Due to the fact that the program was written in C instead of Fortran, the indexing started at 0 instead of 1. Fitting, since he has always been a big fat zero.

[OrioleFan]

What happens when this little light imbedded in my hand starts flashing red?

[KeepTheEdge]

Sure, while we're at it, why not make everyone have their card to buy bread, chips, cookies, gas, etc., then Our Government can turn it off if you say anything they dont like. It is truly unbelieveable that we are racing towards the bottom with this 'new' idea.

[Katya]

It's so weird right now...the only people I know who won't get involved in this...are those on the far right and the far left.
I suspect we'll have all the Moderates ID'd.

[freedomnews]

You think the government would give the Immigration National ID Card not us

[Stallone]

"Your papers please..."

JUST SAY NO!
