so yeah.. we live in a police state

I've been saying it for some time. I started saying it around the time the nazi security agency set up and took over the fbi, cia and many other government branches. its not going to get any better people, but on the bright side there are 170+ countries left we can flee to before they officially close the borders 'for our protection'.
Now I'm wiccan, have been for 17 years and don't plan on changing that. Point is I was raised christian and even I have to admit theres some unsettling parallels with what i used to read in that last chapter of the bible. I'm chalking it up to human nature though. Lets face it there have always been power hungry people wanting more and more control over the masses. Predicting that would be the case in the future was like shooting fish in a barrel.

Yeah But man Why Flee We can't just run and Hide. Why Not just stay here and Show those shovanists who they are messing with. I for one am tired of running and I am damned if I am going to run and hide from a Republican. There are over 17 million Citizens of the United states and only 200 Government officials why the hell run? What are you scared that you are going to die? We are all going to die it is part of nature and I for one would rather die Fighting then Die scared and Cowardly.

sends a chill up your spine

utterly frightening to think what kind of authoritarian nightmares these neo-con "aristocrats" will try to shove down our throats if we keep letting this stuff slide through

[peony115]

what's next?

Don't you think that the antichrist time on this earth described in the Revelations is apon us?
First they will issue id cards with chips. What's next? Chip on your forehead or your arm? Read the Bible, where it says you can't work, can't buy food without it. Sounds a lot like the Bible tells us.

[djbladerunner]

Ok dude it has nothing to do with that it is just on the path that is inevitable Plus if you truly read the Honest Bible not that stupid King James version then you would see that it says nothing of the sort, you just need an Ibeprophen, a hot cup of coffee, a good woman, and a cat scan.

National ID cards has its benefits and drawbacks jus like every other thing. I think everyone that is a legal US resident should get one of these National ID cards. If we are talking about our country than why is money so important, thats what buys us everything why cant every resident receive like $10000 every month just to live here and work for our government to make our technology better. We should be improving our freedoms instead of owning everyone you possibly can. Immagrants can go back to their country and we can live our fun lives as everything improves. If we can print money, and thats the way to live life happy, than why not build a government bank that does nothing but print money for everyone living in their state or county. Thats how you are getting terrorists and criminals, because they need money, and if everyone had it and it kept comin, we would be the safest and happiest country. Im not living freedom, im controlled by the government on how much i can make and what i can make for them. Living a life now days is ******** because you dont have the freedom to have what you want, you have the freedom to pick what the government wants you to do. I wasnt born to serve someone, i was born to live life to the fullest and the founders of our country to pay us for working for them.

Money is Not important it only became important when Republicans decided to make it important I believe that the Trade and Barter act was the best form of currency it made men out of people now we are nothing more then mice. Including me.

I cannot believe people are actually scared of this stuff. I hope everyone else can feel it coming. There is a calm before the storm. If you do not want to get onto the cattle cars of this event in this country, if you want to learn from history and the false governments that has shocked generations time and time again do something that people are scared to do, do something that nobody in the previous past has done. If you are scared, get prepared. Groups people groups! Start a Liberal group or a Dog Lovers group. It really does not matter. From there talk of Revolution.

[djbladerunner]

See that is why Republicans should never Run a country they just make a mess out of things

"Having a national ID card could possible help with terrorist attacks, hunting down criminals, and etc.. What if you couldn?t buy food, clothing, shelter, have employment, and buy a car to mention a few, without an ID card? While all of that sounds like it could cut down on illegal immigrants, terrorist, and criminal activity there will always be some way around it. I?m sure identity theft would continue to rise even with the national ID card in place. As for national ID cards being related to Armageddon who knows? According to the Bible no one will ever know when that time will come and there isn?t anything man can do to stop it from happening."


I totally agree with this. I do believe that I dentity theft will be easier with the National ID. The only thing making it difficult now is that Information about a person is spread out all over and it has to be tracked down BUT if you put it all in on ELECTRONIC COMPUTERIZED CHIP it is all right there and easily Accessible. Don't know about it being tied to Armageddon though. Hell if it is considered an abomination you religious folk tie it to Armageddon I don't understand this why does everything have to be tied to Armageddon just because you don't understand it? It is a Stupid and Selfish move on the Republican Government but if it has to happen then so be it. I hate the Idea of it but I am not going to peg it to Armageddon or even try and stop it But I tell you I will refuse to Obey it. I will not Conform to ANY Republican moves.......

it is pure and simple..our federal government is is to large and not working for us..it is wanting complete domination....much of what it is doing is misleading. they are selling out the country..a lot of the economic problems are designed to force us in to creating the NORTH AMERICAN UNION......our goverment is doing its best to create to make it a ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT.

I think its about time for the citizens of this country (UK) to give a bit more respect of the British Passports. They should be issued ID cards first which they can use in buying anything from booze to going to clubs and use it to check ages. Im just fed up with drunk people who attend the accident and emergency with their passports in their pocket all folded and disfigured. Other countries look after their passport and treat it with respect! Besides, ID cards can be used to travel around EU anyway so I think it should be a policy for the Home Office/IPS to let people apply for an ID cards first before they get to apply for a full British Passports. It should not be compulsory to people who already have a passport but it will be if they need to renew their passports.

The idea of a national ID card is good and bad. I think anyone coming from out of the country get one, along with anyone coming out of prison should have one. Natural born citizens should not have to get one unless they have been convicted of a major crime, murder, rape ect.

I have no problem with people coming from other countries to work, as long as they learn the language and pay taxes like the rest of us. From my past experience, most of those coming from Mexico will do the jobs that most Americans won't do, but they need to pay taxes just like us.

With a national ID card, when someone's visa expire, you will know where to find them and maybe what they're up to before they cause damage.

[ChildOfJah]

I cant get a Visa or Passport so i doubt they'll give me a national ID. bottom line is you've got to remember what Jesus said. My Kingdom "Government" is no part of this world. Now stop looking for men to fix things they have no say over the matter

[Gingertap53]

I was born here, why do I have to document where I was born, over and over again, just because an idiot comes to my country thrus unauthorized means

[Gingertap53]

why do I have to prove I was born in the USA over and over again. Im so patriotic,but because of the immigrants I still have to have id/ I thought just a license or state ID should be sufficient, despite the privacy issue , I guess I will have to take a train or bus or car from now on. How rediculous; My husband thought i was kidding that we needed more id to travel. Hello, we need to keep this economy moving, not stagnet.
