I didn't say "our" military.

Military action is the only way despots cede power.

This is Sodom and Gomorrah.

Actually, it may be even worse.

Already trotted out said “confused, mild-mannered 14 year old” on the news here in Atlanta

Exactly. This is utterly predictable. We have to stop setting ourselves up for the sucker punch.

Rhetoric tends to evolve over the course of controversies like this, so I reserve the right to revise the conversational loop as we go along. But at this point, I find "do you really think teenage girls should be forced to shower with the boys" to be a winner. The other side simply doesn't respond. They want to talk about bathroom stalls. They don't want to talk about 16 year old girls being forced to shower with mentally ill boys. And they don't want to talk about boys on the girls' athletic teams.

“Our opposition cannot simply be labeled as “anti-gay.”

Most drag queens are not homosexual. They’re mentally deranged men who like to pretend to be women. Many are married with no desire to have sex with a man. This is classic Bruce Jenner.

Now this open lawlessless in public schools should be the last straw. The dream of every 12 year old boy is get in the girls bathroom and sneak peak. Well now they can not only sneak a peak they can bring their video camera in with them and make movies and then take a shower with the little girls.

Obama has gone stark raving crazy. All parents that love their children will not expose them to anything this dangerous. I’ll go further. Obama should be impeached and kicked out of office for putting the nations children in danger. He’s a damn madman. No sane grown-up can agree with letting little boys and girls use the same bathroom and take showers together.

The only thing that needs to kept in mind is that the President cannot legislate. It is perfectly legal and proper to ignore any decree.

This president seems to think he can rule by decree.

Since when did the presidency become the office for a man who has absolute control over our lives and can demand we do anything he wants?

This guy, and his office, needs to be brought down to size fast or our nation is lost.

Wouldn't the SCOTUS Medicare ruling apply here too?

First, if the states are already accepting funds for agreed-upon purposes, it is coercive and unconstitutional to withdraw all the funding by adding new provisions.

Second, it is Congress, and not the President, who sets the purposes of the funding. Obama cannot add new spending requirements on his own and then withhold the funding for non-compliance.

So the SCOTUS ruling on the Medicare expansion of Obamacare should be precedent to stop Obama from using federal funding supplements to schools to coerce them into accepting new bathroom political policies.

It’s an arguable point, bit it will never get to that.

School districts will ignore it on-mass. Some will shrink before it, but those will be the Dem-Lib areas, and that will only PO the middle of the road voters there.

Obama has given Conservative America a Godsend in this mandate. It is the first “good thing” he has done for Conservatives in 8 years.

In MOR states, he has given us a huge wedge issue in the general election.

Can you imagine asking a MOR swing voter: “You say there is no difference between Rs and Ds???? They want to let 9th grade perverts take pictures of naked little girls in their PE shower and post them on the internet. We don’t. Is that enough of a difference for you?”

This will move 80 electoral votes and 30 House seats in November.

Rhetoric will only lead to acceptance. The parents need to band together, figure out a plan, and pull their children from the public schools.

Actions speak louder than words. Yes, I understand the tax issue and have a similar solution that would be effective if chosen to do en mass.

Yet another reason for private schools or, better yet, home schooling.

. . which, if parents take responsibility and don't just gripe and whine, will offer proof that markets and individuals making decisions in their children's own best interest are more important, more powerful, than anything politicians try to burden them with.

Even politicians occupying the White House.
