US Lawmakers Eyeing National ID Card
According to Wired (and no big surprise, considering the practicalities of implementing massive changes in medical finance), US lawmakers "are proposing a national identification card, a 'fraud-proof' Social Security card required for lawful employment in the United States. The proposal comes as the Department of Homeland Security is moving toward nationalizing driver licenses."
They prefer options 3 or 4
3)Just let them die.
4)Arrest them at the doctors and drag them out in chains. If they die in the process so much the better.
Actually option 3 pretty well sums up the right wing view of health care in total.
I still have more fans than freaks. WTF is wrong with you people?

The teabaggers would go ballistic, these are people ready to shoot at the census takers. You can't pander to the fringe and then throw them under the bus when they become inconvenient.
You can't have government health care (like Congress gets) but you have to get a national ID. I don't see those as intellectually compatible positions.

As much as us Americans hate being reduced to a number... something's got to be the primary key in the database records government and business keep about us.
I hope, for your sake, that said DB doesn't log instances of grammatical errors.
0 = 1 + e^(Alt something)
Third option:
Require citizenship checks for access to health care of all kinds, require it for access to anything useful, and empower and encourage local law enforcement to arrest illegals.
A bounty of 100 dollars a head for turning them in would have many takers.

So how long do we have until the Loudmouthed Fundie Retard crap about teh Debbil assigning everyone a number comes along?
There are already mobs, with half a set of teeth split among them, who "don't take kahndly tuh havin a neegurr n duh whaht hayouse" and think Obama's "dee Antuhchrahst".
But then these are the oh-so-oppressed "master race" types who would be kept alive by the health care thing. Hoo boy for the inner conflict. Though they'd probably just claim they're putting one over on the "ZOG" or whatever by living to fight another day--against jew bankers or whatever the flavor of the week is.
"Whaht Paar", indeed... *facepalm*
In a world of the blind, the one-eyed man is king--and the two-eyed man is a heretic.
I stand corrected. And if I ever live in one of those states I intend to donate to any politician who attempts to fix that hideously broken law.

If I find a person in my home without my permission (i.e. an intruder), I'm going to warn him to leave voluntarily. If he refuses then he will eat a bullet.
Jesus, dude. What if the intruder is deaf? What happens if your next door neighbor's deaf child takes a nasty spill while riding his bike and, in a daze, accidentally enters your unlocked house? You'd shoot a deaf 8 year old with a concussion? What kind of sick bastard are you?
Seriously though... why do Internet tough guys have such a hard on for shooting people? Find a vagina, dude.
I see no reason to treat intruders from Mexico or Canada or any part of the World differently - Leave voluntarily or face the consequences. Perhaps not shoot them dead, but they should definitely be escorted out of my country, handed a Visa application, and told not to return until they receive permission.
Isn't that what happens? I mean, in the absence of corruption and/or serious illness, illegal immigrants are deported, right? It's just that there are so freaking many of them that it would cost billions to actively seek them out. So instead, we just kind of half-ass it and wait for them to come to us.
Go tell it to Trotsky, you fucking pinko
So stop crying over the Mexican invasion that's taking place right now. If they're meant to take over, that's just how it's going to be.
This is life.
Stop crying over spilled milk.
We live in the present. Our sons/daughters will not be responsible for the sins of the current generation.
It is best to never threaten with
a weapon you do not intend to use.
If I point a gun at a person and
say get out of my house.
And he steps towards me, it is a
justifiable action to shoot to kill.
Unless you are an idiot or a marksman
you should never shoot to wound.

Fine, then I invite you to go out and be smug and self righteous with your own money to pay for all the healthcare some people claim to have a "right" to.
P.S. --> When you use the government to steal, you lose all rights to accuse those evil corporations of doing the same thing. Wrong is still wrong no matter what political boilerplate it's buried under.

Wow.. And I thought USA was a Christian country with Christian values etc, compassion, defenders of the poor and weak... Or is it that Christianity only works as long as it doesn't hit your pocket in any way? Does money trump Christian values??

If you shoot someone; it is
considered lethal force no matter
where the bullet lands.
If you have real reason to use
lethal force, then use it.
