President Obama Wants You To Get Internet Identification

The man who would not produce, as I seem to remember, his birth certificate (I do not mean his certificate of live birth which someone supposedly did produce but his birth certificate which is legally nowhere near the same as a certificate of live birth), nor his travel records regarding which passport he used, nor produce his college records, nor his health records and maybe not his tax records (not sure on that one) is now virtually demanding that all Americans who use the Internet be issued an Internet ID as a trust issue! This is simply astounding. Remember, this is also the same man who wants to allow undocumented aliens (illegal aliens) to stay in our country and receive loads of great benefits all leading to U.S. Citizenship but does not trust you enough to use the Internet without you having a special Internet ID. Even if you voted for him the first time around, if you vote for this guy in 2012, my personal opinion is that I think you will need to have your head examined.

According to Fox News:

"Trusted Identities in Cyberspace is currently being drafted by the Obama administration and will be released by the president in a few months." (see: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/01/08/report-obama-administration-plans-create-internet-id-americans/)

Trusted Identities in Cyberspace??? Doesn't our own government trust us already - hell they work for us - we are not their slaves or underlings. It is we who should be questioning whether or not government workers and officials are trustworthy of the positions they hold as our servants!

In the same article, they also quote the Commerce Secretary as saying this:

""We are not talking about a national ID card. We are not talking about a government-controlled system. What we are talking about is enhancing online security and privacy, and reducing and perhaps even eliminating the need to memorize a dozen passwords, through creation and use of more trusted digital identities,""

I wonder, as a private citizen, are they also talking about something like wearing a digital star? I am not saying that lightly either. Remember, it was taken with a grain of salt when ordered for certain people just a bit over half a century or so ago (wearing a star that is). What is the next step, segregating those who are not trusted from those who are trusted in Cyberspace? Who is making the determination as to whom our government trusts and upon what objective measures will trust in Cyberspace, or anywhere, be judged?

What do I think needs to be done? Rise up folks, mandate that you elected officials put a stop to this by them demanding to hear from President Obama just what is his Constitutional authority to do so! Hint - there is none - not in the commerce clause or anywhere else in my understanding.) Our freedoms are being flushed away, in my personal opinion, by this administration on an almost daily basis as it seems to me. For how much of this can we stand, will we stand, before we stand united against it all?

All the best,
