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.

A Libertarian Martin Luther King Jr. Day post

In which we travel into interesting waters . . . (for a fairly long trip, so be prepared) Dr. King's 1968 book, Where do we go from here: chaos or community? , is profound in that it criticizes anti-poverty programs for their piecemeal approach, as John Schlosberg of the Center for a Stateless Society [C4SS] observes: King noted that the antipoverty programs of the time “proceeded from a premise that poverty is a consequence of multiple evils,” with separate programs each dedicated to individual issues such as education and housing. Though in his view “none of these remedies in itself is unsound,” they “all have a fatal disadvantage” of being “piecemeal,” with their implementation having “fluctuated at the whims of legislative bodies” or been “entangled in bureaucratic stalling.” The result is that “fragmentary and spasmodic reforms have failed to reach down to the profoundest needs of the poor.” Such single-issue approaches also have “another common failing — ...

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...

A reply to Salon's R. J. Eskrow, and his 11 stupid questions about Libertarians

Posts here have been in short supply as I have been living life and trying to get a campaign off the ground. But "11 questions to see if Libertarians are hypocrites" by R. J. Eskrow, picked up at Salon , was just so freaking lame that I spent half an hour answering them. In the end (but I'll leave it to your judgment), it is not that Libertarians or Libertarian theory looks hypocritical, but that the best that can be said for Mr. Eskrow is that he doesn't have the faintest clue what he's talking about. That's ok, because even ill-informed attacks by people like this make an important point: Libertarian ideas (as opposed to Conservative ideas, which are completely different) are making a comeback as the dynamic counterpoint to "politics as usual," and so every hack you can imagine must be dragged out to refute them. Ergo: Mr. Eskrow's 11 questions, with answers: 1. Are unions, political parties, elections, and ...
