I don’t get this. Can someone explain it to me how any of this makes sense???
1. Charlotte passes an ordinance allowing men to use the ladies room if they identify as women.
2. The state passes a law to override the local city ordinance in Charlotte, and restored the status quo on bathroom use.
3. For passing a law which rescinded a local ordinance which went too far, and restored the status quo, the federal government is threatening action.
4. The group of LGBT peoples are NOT a protected class under Federal civil rights laws, so how does the federal government have any jurisdiction in this area anyway???
5. Very few places in America have passed non discrimination laws like the one in Charlotte. So is the federal government now saying, the vast majority of us are bigots against trans whatever people if we don’t have such laws, and is the federal government now going to go on a crusade against the entire country over the issue of male and female restrooms and locker rooms???
6. Does the Justice Department really not have any higher priority to work on, rather than this transgender people in restrooms issue????
If they focus on transgender rights, they don’t have to deal with illegal aliens taking American jobs, HB-1 visa abuse, racial quotas hurting Asians and whites, etc.
It is a way to look like they are doing something good while doing nothing much at all - and attacking the Judeo-Christian majority and conservatives at the same time.
Hummm...No, I can't...
This only makes sense in the most retrograde libtards mind...
Since most of us can't even comprehend such a thing, we don't try...
Funny thing is transgender people are between .03 to .05 % of the country population ...
We probably have more people who think they are real vampires than that...
We need more vampires laws.../ S
Your summary and analysis is spot on.
One aspect that, as usual, goes un(der)reported is the constant shifting of the goalposts by the Tranny supporters.
It was THEY who demanded the bathroom provisions be included in what THEY claimed was an otherwise harmless ‘equality’ bill. Good little Marxists that they are, they want 100% of what they want and expect to get it.
They pushed and NC pushed back, through its duly elected legislature and governor. The shock of opposition, more than anything, is what has the self-regarding do-gooders outraged. Most of these leftists have never experienced any sort of official difficulty in advancing their agenda.
The federal saber-rattling is just that since it’s merely their politically-motivated opinion that Title VII applies here. They would have to build a case and prove it. Time, to say nothing of the letter of the law, is not on their side.
Now the pro-Trannies are changing their tune and claiming that it was NEVER about the bathroom issue. They’re trying the old ‘if you don’t agree with us then you haven’t read the law’ gambit. But as above THEY were the ones who chose the hill on which the battle would take place.
Meantime we have the so-called commissioner of a sports league featuring grown men running around in their underwear (grown men, by the way, whose stated and accepted objective is to spend as little time as possible in college) saying that he wants to ‘work behind the scenes to change the law.’ Because a resident of New York engaged in private enterprise is perfectly entitled to overturn the laws passed in a separate sovereign state....or so he thinks.
As I discussed with another FReeper recently, the left keeps expanding its bubble of normality to claim that any opposition or statement of fact, biology, practicality, etc. is ‘discrimination.’ Their interest is not and never has been in the neurotics and psychotics who refuse to concede that their original factory equipment can’t and shouldn’t be changed, merely in claiming moral superiority no matter how depraved the individual they support.
You are not using 0bama logic.
It helps if you throw yourself down a flight of stairs and bang your head many times.
Only then, will you be able to apply 0bama logic!
