Looking at your id is not the same thing as scanning and storing it. They clearly don't have a legitimate use for that data just a pretext. Having spent time in bars I definitely don't want bartenders and bar owners to know where

It's worth noting that 'paper' is from Lydon Larouche's 'Executive Intelligence Review'. Not what I would consider a reliable source even in 1986 the same year he was arrested for credit card fraud. He was subs

Which right wing? I don't think that Mitch McConnell is a Nazi. I've not heard anyone call him one. Lots of other right wing politicians, activists, journalists and even right wing shock jocks you can say that about. Most are not.
