DNC to require ID in order to attend festivities

Kevin Danielsen September 3, 2012

The voter ID debate has raged from sea to shining sea, casting the nation into the question of -should folks have to prove that they are who they say they are when they go to the booth? The democrat platform dictates that it’s none of the state’s business to confirm the identities of those who are engaged in state business. Why? Because that’s so racist …and poor folks won’t be able to vote. (Which is obviously the illogical fallacy of a false consequence.)

Nevertheless, to join the festivities at the DNC, attenders must have ID. In a direct quote from the DNC website:

"All pickup persons must have a state-issued ID that matches the name submitted below.”

Now, if the DNC just allowed anyone through the doors, that would be much more consistent with their thoughts on the subject. In which case, it wouldn’t really matter. However, they are requiring state-issued identification.

So, what are we to think about this? Why the inconsistency?
Well, logically, it is not surprising that they would require ID to enter the facility. This is mere common sense, especially given the security risks.

In addition, they are probably not worried about the political impact of illegal aliens (and dead people) not being allowed to enter the premises. The ‘pro’ of increased security outweighs the ‘con’ of allowing the security risk of undocumented individuals from entering the DNC, despite the fact that it betrays their own party platform.

Nevertheless, this is a classic example of …’liberals will make up rules for the rest of us, so long as it suits their goals.’ Whether their decisions are ethical or logical is, quite frankly, irrelevant.
