“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”
― George Orwell, 1984
"And now that the legislators and do-gooders have so futilely inflicted so many systems upon society, may they finally end where they should have begun: May they reject all systems, and try liberty; for liberty is an acknowledgment of faith in God and His works." - Bastiat
"It is difficult to free fools from the chains they revere." - Voltaire
Not much of a Tenth Amendment guy, is he?
I'd still love to see him primary Biden. Having fun watching him drag liberal hypocrisy into the spotlight, too.
He was good when he spouted Free Markets, Captive Agencies, Lobbyists, et al.
But now he sounds like a typical Trump-Humper republican, Bush W Patriot Act crony, Bill Gates/U/N A21 stooge, where "papers please" will be the norm in every single aspect of your life.
It's what the people want, and I'm sure he'll get more "voters" because of it.
Face it, A/F, individual autonomy is not what the people want. As Obumer said: "If you see something say something" and "If you've got nothing to hide, you've got nothing to fear".
Enter The 4th Industrial Revolution, where every man, woman and child on earth will soon be fully ID'd.

I had some hope for Kennedy. Now, to be honest, it's dwindling. Ron Paul, he's not.
On Trump:
How conservative Republicans can continue to support this arrogant imposter—the man who brags about inflicting the world with the Covid mark of the beast; the man who said, “Take the guns first, go through due process second”; and the man who deliberately played and then set up Stewart Rhodes (of course, Stewart was all too eager to be Trump’s patsy) for an 18-year prison sentence—is truly beyond my comprehension.” Chuck Baldwin
Wait, is there not anyone going to make excuses for Kennedy, for what in reality is only 4D chess or he's just doing this to garner support from across the aisle? I guess that's only for the MAGA types. Hat's off to ACP, PAF and the CapUSA for their honesty. MAGA types, not so much.

Kennedy needs to screw off with this federal ID with the quickness.

Vivek isn't the only one who memory-holes things, Trump's clips on e-Verify is no longer present on YT, Rumble, etc. But I did find this:
During that speech, he received thunderous applause."In my administration we will ensure that this system is in place. And, I will tell you, it will be on land, it will be on sea, it will be in air. We will have a proper tracking system."

We typically agree in many areas. I was merely providing clarification/reference concerning "MAGA Types" comments between you and @Cap.

RFK Jr.: “If you say you can’t get a job without a Federal ID, [...]"
How many jobs can one get at present without providing a Social Security Number (SSN)? [1]
No matter how appealing some of their rhetoric may sometimes be, progressives like RFK Jr. (and including the ones "driving the speed limit", such as "E-Verify" Republicans) will almost [2] never offer "solutions" to any problems that do not involve adding yet more government to already-too-much government - not even when old "solutions" concocted by previous progressives already exist.
The old and previous are always anathema. Everything must be new.
After all, how else can things be made to "progress"?
[1] Note that people were originally promised SSNs would never, ever be used for anything outside the Social Security system. That turned out to be a lie. Now you can't open a bank account or legally drive a car (or hell, maybe even get a library card) without one (or some specially-issued dispensation from having one).
[2] I say "almost" here to hedge my bets and cover those occasional cases where they may make such proposals - but note that they only ever seem to make those proposals when they are in no position to successfully implement them (such as when they are in the minority party, or when they are subject to certain veto).

- "When law and morality are in contradiction to each other, the citizen finds himself in the cruel alternative of either losing his moral sense, or of losing his respect for the law."
-- The Law (p. 54)- "Government is that great fiction, through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else."
-- Government (p. 99)- "[W]ar is always begun in the interest of the few, and at the expense of the many."
-- Economic Sophisms - Second Series (p. 312)- "There are two principles that can never be reconciled - Liberty and Constraint."
-- Harmonies of Political Economy - Book One (p. 447)· tu ne cede malis sed contra audentior ito ·
And don't forget PASSports, which were supposed to be temporary until after the World War, because Birth "Certificates" which are still mandated upon birth, are not an acceptable form of "ID".

He's an old school Democrat like Trump. Both are saner than most politicians these days, but they are still what they are.
