The
basic premise of their protest, which was completely predictable, was
that requiring a photo ID to vote will disenfranchise minority voters
disproportionately, making it an undue and unreasonable burden to
exercise their right to vote. Do they have even the foggiest idea of
just how stupid they sound
when making this claim?
Here's
a short list of things that people can do that require
a photo ID:
- Buying alcohol
- Buying cigarettes
- Open a bank account
- Apply for welfare
- Apply for food stamps
- Rent/buy a house
- Rent/lease/buy/drive a car
- Apply for Medicaid/Social Security
- Apply for Unemployment
- Apply for a job
- Get on a plane
- Get married
- Buy a firearm
- Adopt a pet
- Rent a hotel room
- Apply for a hunting/fishing license
- Buy a cell phone
- Visit a casino
- Pick up a prescription
- Buy certain cold/allergy medications
- Donate blood
- Buy a “Mature” rated video game
- Buy nail polish at CVS
I'm
certain that this is but a partial list, but to get back to the NAACP
– imagine, if you will, the hypocrisy
of holding a protest against requiring a photo ID to VOTE,
while requiring a photo ID to attend the protest.
Yes,
you read that correctly. Amazing, isn't it?
Wait
– didn't they disenfranchise a lot of people who would have
otherwise attended the protest? Maybe the protestors should have
protested the protest.
I
have an idea. Instead of protesting/complaining/whining about
requiring a photo ID to vote, which is arguably our highest civic
duty, perhaps the liberals/democrats/race baiters could use the time
they would put into organizing the protests/complaints/whine sessions
to do something constructive
– like helping those who don't have a photo ID get a
photo ID.
This
isn't rocket science, people. It's just common sense. ~ Hunter
