REAL ID Is Already the Law of the Land.....

.....and as the Republic Magazine exposes, we have until May 11 to comply with it.

It is was nice living under a constitutional republic while it lasted.

But as we have noted before this is simply a continuation of the same technological programs that another government used that led to more than one genocide. I think we all know the famous "your papers please...." but how many of us know that Pol Pot used them too?

I have a national ID card from a citizen of a nation who knows a thing or two or three about the risks they carry......let me share it with you.....this one is from the CCCP.....

And it is being implemented in the United States now......By 2017 all of your personal information will be in a government database, one can only wonder if the site administrators will be listening to Deutschland Uber Alles at that point?

It is not a comforting thought to know that your sexual orientation, race, gender, age, credit score, medical records, will all be embedded on your new National ID card is it?

One way that Americans could actually fight this, even now, is to begin boycotting all absolutely unnecessary air travel, or organizing groups of peaceful protesters to show up and stand in line at TSA check points with their inferior IDs and no boarding passes.

I'm sure the government would come up with some way to construe this as illegal as well.

Steve, the day they issue us our "papers" is the day I ask for political refugee status in another nation.

The Obligatory Libertarian Tax Day Post

The most disturbing factoid that I learned on Tax Day was that the average American must now spend a full twenty-four hours filling out tax forms. That's three work days. Or, think of it this way: if you had to put in two hours per night after dinner to finish your taxes, that's two weeks (with Sundays off). I saw a talking head economics professor on some Philly TV channel pontificating about how Americans procrastinate. He was laughing. The IRS guy they interviewed actually said, "Tick, tick, tick." You have to wonder if Governor Ruth Ann Minner and her cohorts put in twenty-four hours pondering whether or not to give Kraft Foods $708,000 of our State taxes while demanding that school districts return $8-10 million each?

New Warfare: I started my posts with a discussion.....

.....on Unrestricted warfare . The US Air force Institute for National Security Studies have developed a reasonable systems approach to deter non-state violent actors who they label as NSVA's. It is an exceptionally important report if we want to deter violent extremism and other potential violent actors that could threaten this nation and its security. It is THE report our political officials should be listening to to shape policy so that we do not become excessive in using force against those who do not agree with policy and dispute it with reason and normal non-violent civil disobedience. This report, should be carefully read by everyone really concerned with protecting civil liberties while deterring violent terrorism and I recommend if you are a professional you send your recommendations via e-mail at the link above so that either 1.) additional safeguards to civil liberties are included, or 2.) additional viable strategies can be used. Finally, one can only hope that politici

More of This, Please

Or perhaps I should say, "Less of this one, please." Or how about just, "None of them. Ever again. Please....For the Love of God." Sunshine State Poll: Grayson In Trouble The latest Sunshine State/VSS poll shows controversial Democratic incumbent Alan Grayson trailing former state Senator Dan Webster by seven points, 43 percent to 36 percent. A majority of respondents -- 51 percent -- disapprove of the job that Grayson is doing. Independents have an unfavorable view of him as well, by a 36/47 margin. Grayson has ignored the conventional wisdom that a freshman should be a quiet member who carefully tends to the home fires. The latest controversy involves his " Taliban Dan " advertisement, where he explicitly compares his opponent to the Taliban, and shows a clip of Webster paraphrasing Ephesians 5:22 -- "wives, submit to your husbands." An unedited version of the clip shows that Webster was actually suggesting that husba
