"That's what they all say!"
Fox News' opinion writers are freaking out about today's news that the Obama Administration advised, without the force of law, that schools allow transgender students to use the bathrooms of their gender identity.

First, Cal Thomas:

Obama's gender warning: The fundamental transformation of our country is accelerating

quote:

Are morals and ethics now up for grabs, depending on which group makes the most noise and promises the most votes? Perhaps Loretta Lynch and her deputy should lead by example and shower with a transgender male. Even better, how about first lady Michelle Obama? Media coverage could be discreet. I'm betting that neither Lynch nor the first lady would go that far. In fact, I suspect that very few on the left would want to live under many of the laws and dictates they like to impose on the rest of us.

:smuggo:"If you like trans people so much, why don't you shower with them?"


Then there was thread-favorite Todd "They Popped My Hood and Found Gravy On the Dipstick" Starnes, who published this shortly afterwards, which is too amazing not to quote in full:

We must defy Obama's transgender decree -- no matter the cost

quote:

The Obama administration declared on May 9th that forcing people to use bathroom facilities based on their God-given plumbing was state-sponsored discrimination.

Four days later they dropped an even bigger cultural bombshell.

The president issued a directive requiring every public school in the nation to accommodate transgender students – under Title IX guidelines.

Boys who identify as girls and vice versa must be allowed to use the bathrooms and locker rooms and shower stalls of their choosing. They must also be allowed to play on the sports teams of their choosing.

School districts that dare defy the administration’s directives could face lawsuits and lose millions of dollars in federal funding. Resistance, in other words, is futile.

“There is no room in our schools for discrimination of any kind, including discrimination against transgender students on the basis of their sex,” Attorney General Loretta Lynch said.

I warned you in my book, “God Less America” that the fight over transgenderism would be the next battleground. And here we are – a nation where boys who identify as girls have more rights than girls who were born biological girls.

“It’s an outrageous attack on our Creator Himself, upon human sexuality and morality and a further advancement of the flagrant attack on religious freedom in our culture,” Southern Baptist Convention President Ronnie Floyd told me.

The leader of the nation’s largest Protestant denomination said the president’s decree is an extreme overreach by the federal government and he called on Christians to speak out.

“Sooner or later we have to determine that enough is enough,” he said. “It’s not going to change until Christians get involved in this battle.”

Donald Trump was asked to weigh in on “Fox & Friends” -- should boys use the boy’s room?

“Right now I just don’t have an opinion,” he told the morning show hosts. “I would like the state’s to make that decision.”

You don’t have an opinion? How about some moral clarity, Mr. Trump? How about standing up for the privacy and safety of women and children?

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott vowed to fight the Obama administration’s decree, telling a gathering of Republicans, “Obama is turning bathrooms into courtroom issues.”

“Our country is in crisis and Texas must lead the way forward,” he said.

Abbott said he is working alongside the embattled governor of North Carolina “and we are going to fight back.”

One of the most forceful rebukes came from Tennessee Congresswoman Diane Black.

“I believe the Obama administration is now directly responsible for endangering our students,” she said. “It is worth nothing that this directive does not carry the force of law – and I would encourage Tennessee school officials to continue following their consciences.”

Family Research Council President Tony Perkins told me Congress must intervene to stop what he called an imperial president.

“If the president chooses to go forward with this outrageous order – then congress should begin impeachment proceedings,” he said.


Perkins said the decree should be “resisted with every legal and moral instrument we have available to us in this country.”

“Every parent, every school board in America should absolutely refuse to sacrifice the safety of their children for the threat of taking away nine federal pennies that make up every educational dollar,” he said.

Resist! That’s the message from Penny Young Nance, president of Concerned Women for America.

“The left always uses children to accomplish its goals of social reengineering,” she said. “The adults closest to these children should decide what’s best for all the children in the school. Safety and kindness should be the guiding principles, not threats from the bullies in Washington.”

The time has come for all Americans to stand up and defy this president's immoral agenda. If losing federal funding is the price we must pay to protect women and children – then so be it.

We will not betray what we know to be true for the government’s 30 pieces of silver.

The German theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer warned us about a time such as this. Not to speak is to speak, he once said. Not to act is to act.

Far too long American pulpits have remained silent on controversial cultural issues. Preachers don’t want to rock the boat. Parishioners don’t want to cause trouble. Far too long society has turned a blind eye as President Obama fundamentally transformed our nation.

But now the country stands at the edge of a great moral abyss. And we must ask ourselves -- do we defy the president and save the nation or do we keep the peace and sacrifice our children?

Please note that he compares the Obama Administration, by analogy, to:

1. The Pharisees from the gospels
2. The Nazis
3. The Borg from Star Trek

Perkins said the decree should be “resisted with ever legal and moral instrument we have available to us in this country.”

“Every parent, every school board in America should absolutely refuse to sacrifice the safety of their children for the threat of taking away nine federal pennies that make up every educational dollar,” he said.

I'll openly admit that I haven't seen the footage you're referring to, and that I'm assuming by "clocked" you mean punched or beaten, but it's actually a long, well recorded problem with police officers in multiple countries that in the aftermath of a high speed car chase they end up being way more violent towards the perp than they would normally be. The main consensus on it is that the preceding chase their brains are basically getting flooded with more and more adrenaline as they keep up with the fleeing guy. By the time the guy pulls over or gets stopped the cops are so hopped up on their brain's own chemicals that clocking a surrendering guy seems like an entirely rational thing to do.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending police brutality in general, but the aftermath of a high speed chase is pretty much the only time where I could actually see the usual "I thought he might pull a gun on me" excuse and actually find it somewhat believable because it's apparently a problem all over the world, not just the US.

I gotta say that although the whole trans bathroom thing is utterly ridiculous, I don't understand the argument that for example a woman would need to being her young son into a men's bathroom for him to pee. I've literally never seen or heard of that happening, it's always been the parent bringing the kid into whatever the parent's genders bathroom was. What is the logic in doing the opposite thing (except if maybe only the women's room has a space for diaper changing)?

Oh, I totally agree with you, and it makes sense that the idea of chasing someone down is instinctively so hard not to do, especially given the situation. Also, by "clocked" I definitely meant kicking/punching which is what happened to the guy as he was laying on the ground with his hands behind his back waiting to get handcuffed.

A lot of departments are trying to avoid having to do any chasing especially since helicopters and other technology can be used to track the people who are running (given the resources), right?

Finally, as I'm typing this I am listening to the local news in the background and I can hear that one of the two people in this story involving a high speed chase from yesterday passed away after getting nailed head-on by the runner while waiting on in their car at a traffic light.

i end up doing this as a man sometimes because if i'm walking my daughter around and i need to change her most of the time i'll end up in the women's bathroom at a restaurant because most of the time that's where the nearest changing table is. logistically it makes sense, also changing tables are kind of gross because people try to have sex on them, but there aren't a lot of options for hygenically and privately changing a baby's diaper in american cities

Todd Starnes and AFA radio is what the world would sound like if either the KKK had continued to be a legitimate power well into the 21st century or fascism had found it's way into america via the flag and bible.

Starnes does the "AWWWH SHUCKS" act on Fox News. But on AFA? Uh...he sounds like a Nazi propagandist. Literally ANGRY at whatever progressive thing is being pushed against his base and what not.

It's on a different level than Limbaugh, O'Reilly and Hannity. It's honestly difficult to explain...but they actually make those people seem downright tolerant. I'm not trying to use that as an exaggeration, I'm being very sincere.

The people that talk on AFA treat LGBTQ people, feminists, muslims, and pretty much every group that isn't white extreme far right heterosexual male christians as the Nazi's used to talk about the Jews.

That's how evil those people are.

I think it helps to remember that a lot of these folks are unfortunately very sheltered, as odd as that may sound. Trans people (and other LGBT folks) have existed forever, but right-wingers certainly weren't exposed to them, at least as far as they know. So it's very easy for them to fool themselves into thinking that they just started popping up at the same time America started losing its values and becoming an evil, debauched secular society.
