Where is the Outrage?

Where is the cry of outrage from the American people over the Real ID Act? Where? I hear none. That is worrisome, indeed.

I think The Real ID Act is a rotten piece of legislation! It is an “unfunded mandate” forced upon the 50 states. Now those 50 states must come up with the money to implement it. Where do you suppose they will get the money? From you and I, that’s where. We have the honor of paying for this God-awful piece of legislation.

I hate the idea of a National ID card. Polls have shown I’m in the majority on that, they (The Congress) put this damnable piece of legislation together because they want you, and me, to carry a National ID Card… and they knew we wouldn’t, unless, they made it impossible for us to do otherwise…thus, National Driver’s license! (Don’t kid yourselves, that’s what it is… A National Driver’s License, issued by the state and paid for by you and me!)

Congress deliberately set it up so that if a state refuses to implement it, that state will lose a huge amount of federal dollars.

Dear Reader, I know many of you, and I, come from different points of the political compass, but I believe we join at the point where we do not want to see our freedoms taken away. Where, then, is the outpouring of rage, and anger, at the Federal Government for taking even more of our freedom?

Where is the concern? My Lord, we’re losing our country!

I think there is enough blame to burden both our political parties! I don’t know how much longer I can remain in the Republican Party.

In the past few days I have been made aware of the formation of a new political party. I am informed they have the “money people” with them and there will be a national press conference called toward the end of this year to announce its formation. I’m waiting, with baited breath, to learn more about it. If it is a conservative party, I will consider leaving the Republican Party.

I love freedom entirely too much to belong to a group, any group, which will take it away!

But, you know, the apathy of the American people is as much to blame, if not more so, than either the Democratic Party, or the Republican Party. Neither would have the power to push something like this thru if the people would rise up and scream “Hell, No”!

I fear for my country!
