Fake ID Concerns

Roanoke Times, 11-3-09, Pg 1 & 12: Big print, big article, big picture of doorman checking ID so folks under 21 will not be allowed into a bar to drink.

There are two major things wrong with this Roanoke Times message:
-
1. On Election Day, the number one fake-ID issue should be about validating people to vote at the polls! The Democrats, Editors of the Roanoke Times and their friends at the ACLU oppose at every opportunity the requirement for voter validation with a government issued ID. Their friends at ACORN have submitted thousands of bogus voters into the voter registration system. The best way to “weed them out” is with a good voter ID card.
-
2. Are these rules really about maturity and responsibility? Any military active service member should be able to order a beer in any bar anyplace in the world! If they are old enough to serve at 18, then they clearly are old enough to drink a “legal” beer! NY State allowed drinking starting at age 18 through the 1960’s and it appears the abuse of alcohol back then was less than the illegal usage today.
