"Today we need a nation of minute men; citizens who are not only prepared to take up arms, but citizens who regard the preservation of freedom as a basic purpose of their daily life and who are willing to consciously work and sacrifice for that freedom.
The cause of liberty, the cause of American, cannot succeed with any lesser effort."

"The hijacker-pilot who flew into the Pentagon, Hani Hanjour, had a total of four driver''s licenses and ID cards from three states."

Amazing what you can get working for the CIA and Mossad.

I am so very sorry fellow citizen. I will not use such tragedy for debate, and will simply let your comments stand out of respect for you and your beloved son.

"Children should not know fear, or death, or suffering, for it is not their lot to know. Theirs is a time for joy, and wonder, and a time of great discovery. Let them never despair, or hurt, or want. This should be our highest calling, and our most sincere dedication."

west bound lane Timothy was dead at the scene WAS ALSO TOLD BY 2 OFFICERS THAT IN ALL THE YEARS THEY HAD BEEN ON THE FORCE THEY HAD NEVER SEEN AN ACCIDENT LIKE
MY SONS. .. THIS WAS A FATALITY ....
I WAS TOLD THE OTHER DRIVER HAD AN INTERNATIONAL DRIVERS LICENSE, WHEN I ASKED WHAT THAT MEANT.THE ANSWER WAS THAT THE
STATE POLICE COMPUTERS CAN NOT PULL UP INTERNATIONAL.I JUST SPOKE WITH ANOTHER TROOPER SUNDAY JAN.6,2007 HE TOLD ME THEIR
IS NO SUCH THING AS A INTERNATIONAL DRIVERS LICENSE THAT ALL IT IS ,IS A I.D.LEGALLY HE SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ON THE ROADTHE OTHER DRIVER SHOULD NOT HAVE
B EEN ON LA.HIWAY WITH AN INTERNATIONAL LICENSE .HE IS A RESIDENT in la...HE WORKS in la. IT IS THE LAW TO YOUR CHANGE LICENSE IF YOU LIVE HERE MORE THAN 90 DAYS..

"But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship. %u2026 voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country."
Reichsmarschall Hermann Goering, the Nuremberg Diary

Most Cons are for this now. But, if the same thing were being implemented under Hillary, they''d be pooping themselves right now.

Oh, the Nazis had something like that. It was perfect for spotting those evil Jews. They put on their new identity cards an "I" initial for men (Israel) and an "S" initial for women (Sarah). That way no Jew could escape the massacre. I''m sure the evangelicals will be worried about this card and the numbers 666.

One more step to solidify tyranny.

"The telescreen received and transmitted simultaneously. Any sound that Winston made, above the level of a very low whisper, would be picked up by it; moreover, so long as he remained within the field of vision which the metal plaque commanded, he could be seen as well as heard. There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment. How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork. It was even conceivable that they watched everybody all the time. But at any rate they could plug in your wire whenever they wanted to. You had to live - did live, from habit that became instinct - in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and except in darkness, every movement scrutinised."
George Orwell, 1984

The Real Id Act is only one; of many freedoms the feds/our government plan to take from us, with or without our permission. Do you know what the North American Union, Amero, RFID chip, etc are? Do a Google search for zeitgeistmovie and you will learn just how much, you don''t know.

If it''s okay to check everyone out at the airport, what''s wrong with having to prove one''s legal status and identity whenever asked? Only the guilty would object to this.

Everyone should have to have and carry, proof of identity, citizenship, and health status, presentable upon demand to authorities.

I don''t care how many times I get asked if it stops one more illegal in his tracks. I''m all for Real ID.

"The over-50 exemption was created to give states more time to get everyone new licenses, and officials say the risk of someone in that age group being a terrorist, illegal immigrant or con artist is much less."

Osama Bin Laden is just over 50. I guess he isn''t a terrorist.

If we are forced to get a national ID card, there will be police checkpoints all over America to check for your "papers" - just like in Nazi Germany.
This is not a joke.
