Another Dispatch From The Braintrust
Microchips are becoming the new black helicopters for the extreme right. Georgia is outlawing involuntary microchip implantation based partly on the testimony of a woman with psychiatric problems. At least one Republican candidate for Congress thinks we should go the opposite direction. Republican Pat Beroche (IA-03) thinks we should implant microchips to keep track of illegal aliens.
One of them is Dr. Pat Bertroche, who’s running to challenge Democrat Leonard Boswell in Iowa’s 3rd Congressional district. He believes we should microchip illegal immigrants to make sure we can keep track of them.
Speaking today at a candidate forum in Tama County, Dr. Bertroche said: “I think we should catch ’em, we should document ’em, make sure we know where they are and where they are going. I actually support micro-chipping them. I can micro-chip my dog so I can find it. Why can’t I micro-chip an illegal?”
You mean tag and release, like wildlife? What is it with these crazy rightwing physicians anyway? It seems like you can’t turn around anymore without running into one.

So let me get this straight: They’re OK with letting the police demand papers from anyone, at any time, for any reason, and they’re OK with the government micro-chipping some people, but making health insurance available for everyone is socialism and destroying our country? Any way we can start microchipping right-wing nutjobs? That way, we can track them and find where they’re breeding.
Wait…nevermind. I realized the difference in what they want to do. IOITNW (It’s Okay If They’re Not White)
In their minds they are only chipping and demanding papers from non-Americans. But once they get through with people who aren’t Americans, next they will come after people who aren’t Real Americans©
The microchip idea is dumb and evil. But we already started sliding down the razor blade when we chose to tolerate biometric scanning from government and private business. And make no mistake, the privately-obtained biometrics are available to the government now.
