One day recently as I was on my way home on the DART train, I stumbled across a political magazine entitled "EndTime" which was left on the seat. Judging by the Christian cross emblem which was used for the letter "T" in the title, I figured there should be something interesting in there, even if I disagree with it.
The first article I perused was written by the editor-in-chief, Irvin Baxter, Jr. and it dealt with the topic of national security without a National ID. His main point was that we have gotten along for 230 years without a national ID card, so why do we need one now? I loved his point asking the question of 'Do Americans really want a national database where information on every citizen can be pulled up with the click of a mouse?'
I think we all agree that our number one national security problem is border security (or lack thereof). Baxter's explains "With the onset of globalism and one-worldism, borders have become virtually meaningless." I couldn't agree more.
Isreal does a good job of protecting their border with a 450 mile fence and a dirt road running adjacent. I know, I know, our border is something like 2000 miles, but if Israel, a nation of 6 million people, can protect their 450 mile border, can't we, a nation of 300 million, protect our 2000 mile border with a similar type of structure? It has to be better than what we have now, which isn't much.
Apparently, the government's plan with the National ID card, which requires a number by the way, is to monitor and control us with computers. We must give our Social Security number in order to get our National ID. Going forward, if we do not have our National ID, or our existing ID is unacceptable, we will not be able to board a plane or open a bank account! Hmm.
