Utter Hypocrisy

Liberal groups have been vociferously demonizing voter ID laws that have recently been passed in several states.  They agonize that these laws will disenfranchise minority voters and wail that Republicans are trying to suppress voter turnout.  


Would anyone be surprised to find that hypocrisy is rearing its ugly head in this debate?  Turns out that very liberal groups such as Center for American Progress and the Advancement Project actually require photo IDs to enter their buildings!


Aren't they afraid they're going to "disenfranchise" minorities who might want to come in and say hello?  Would someone please notify Eric Holder about this "unnecessary" and discriminatory practice (oh, and if you're planning to go to the Justice Deparment building in person, be sure to bring your photo ID!).

Insanity Masquerading as Economic Policy

The Center for American Progress has cited two studies purporting to show that raising the minimum wage creates jobs.  The logic of this escapes me...please help me out here.


Why do businesses hire people?  I think liberals don't understand this fundamental of the business world.  Businesses hire people for only one main reason:  they need them to perform certain jobs.  If a business isn't growing or is in a downward spiral, they don't hire.  It's that simple.


I challenge the authors of this "study" to explain how raising the minimum wage would create jobs.   If an employer isn't otherwise hiring, would telling him that he has to pay his hourly employees more give him an incentive to hire more people?  This is not only illogical, it borders on insanity.  This is what passes as policy in the liberal world, where logic and reason do not abide.
