Real ID and Fake Homeland Security

NPR - Montana Governor on 'Real ID' Act. Governor Brian Schweitzer tells the truth about the Real ID, or Fake ID Act, as it should be called; and how it can be forged, how the congress is just posturing, and how they're sending unfunded mandates down to the states.

It's a really good listen. He pulls no punches.

This was on NPR's All Things Consider on Friday evening, March 7, 2008.

I encourage you to checkout NPR and all the good content they have there.

we are already in a data base. Just gives these weasels more power. National security my rear. It is BIG BROTHER

[Yobachi2007]

Big Brother indeed.

I love the book 1984. Scary how prophetic it was, and how we're moving closer and closer to it being a reality.

[undeadpresident]

Another good book is 1996.

[Yobachi2007]

Is that actually a book? Who's it by?

[undeadpresident]

Yes, it's by Gloria Naylor.

[Yobachi2007]

Okay, thanks for the heads up.

I didn't know if you were trying to be a smart ass.

[Yobachi2007]

Thanks.

I need to do another post since Congress just proposed another national ID plan.

[undeadpresident]

Not at all. I would encourage anyone concerned with the creation of a surveillance state to read it, keeping in mind that many individuals, including myself, can attest to the same manner of torture occurring in their own lives at the hands of the "intelligence community."

Its George Bush's fault - He has a long reach indeed.

His insidious presence causes global warming on Mars and bleeding gums in the children of Zaire. He is the devil incarnate, an enemy of the very people he serves.

It is a known fact that he & *Scott Thompson* cooked up 9-1-1 events. He's behind that whole Russian invasion of Georgia thingy, too.

It's all in the tea leaves, my friends. But don't look too closely.

Common sense may strike you down.

Run while you can still hide.

I lived in Kalispell/Whitefish for 2 years and miss it dearly
