I am not an attorney…and I don’t play one on TV…so I have a had time trying to understand the twisted logic of the Obama Justice Department and their latest step to file an objection to the Texas state law requiring voters to show photo ID before voting because it is discriminatory to Hispanic voters.
If the law is discriminatory because they don’t have photo ID, then how do these people do ay of the following:
Get a Driver's license
Buy alcohol
Buy cigarettes
Apply for welfare
Apply for food stamps
Cash a check
Purchase a firearm
Make any large credit card purchase
Open a bank account
Rent an apartment
Be admitted to a hospital
Visit a Physicians office
Get a marriage license
Get on an airplane
Adopt a pet
Purchase a home
Purchase a car
Obtain a passport
Write a check
Make a credit card purchase…if you don’t sign the back of the card
Purchase insurance for anything
Get a job
Rent a Post Office Box
Pick up a package at the post office
Get a hunting license
Get a fishing license
Get a business license
Rent a hotel room
Rent a car
Rent furniture
Rent tools/equipment
Receive Social Security
Buy a cell phone/service
Buy some over the counter cold/allergy medicines
Go into a casino
Go into a bar/be served
Go to college

How many times a day do you have to show ID to prove you are who you say you are? How many of these occasions where you have to whip out ID have been the product of some government regulation? I can’t even buy Claritan D for my allergies, without showing ID for fear that I am some Meth-head looking to cook up a batch.
The way things are going, you’ll soon need to show ID to wipe your own backside! Think I’m joking? Would you really be surprised if environmentalists wanted to track your toilet paper purchases?
Give me a ten pound break…this is just the Obama Justice Department’s way of protecting one of their special classes…the fraudulent voter!
