One of the many ways in which progressives betray their intellectual dishonesty is the jihad against laws that require voters to present an ID before casting a ballot. This, the Left insists, discriminates against “minorities” who are deemed too stupid and incompetent to obtain in ID—though not too stupid and incompetent to vote. That appears to be the ACLU’s position

Considering that ID is required nowadays for so many daily transactions—cashing a check, obtaining public assistance, getting a job, etc.—the claim that “minorities” may not possess an ID is incredible in both senses of the word. Furthermore, it betrays the condescending, not to say contemptuous, attitude that progressives take toward their officially designated mascot groups. It also shows that the Left has very little regard for the integrity of the vote. For progressives, winning isn’t everything—it’s the only thing. And if winning requires illicit votes, why, that’s just fine.

So I’m wondering: If you’re a black American, or a Hispanic American, or a gay American, how do you feel about the progressive claim that you’re too helpless and pathetic to be treated like a responsible citizen?
