When did a president of the United States use blackmail and manipulation to get his own way to further his private agenda? President Obama just did to force schools to open up their bathrooms to any student who wants to use them whether or not they are either biologically or psychologically of the opposite sex that is assigned to that bathroom. The “guidance” he issued contained an implicit threat that school districts defying the Obama administration’s interpretation of the law could face lawsuits or be deprived of federal aid. Our education system is substantially underfunded and so those states and schools who disagree with the president will now have to use education dollars to fight for their beliefs against his agenda. That’s blackmail.
In the first large-scale government survey measuring Americans’ sexual orientation, the NHIS reported in July 2014 that 1.6 percent of Americans identify as gay or lesbian, and 0.7 percent as bisexual and in another survey in 2011 only 0.3 percent identifies themselves as transgender. With a population in America currently at 323 million, that means that less than 100,000 people in this country are transgender! When are the rights of the majority going to take precedent over such a miniscule minority so that the flea on the dog’s tail isn’t in control?
This election the people of America need to revolt against the Washington, D.C., government and its tactics to force citizens to bow to the corruption of the principles and morality the vast majority don’t embrace.
