    Are We Insane?  You Betcha! 

Picture
Just how crazy are some folks on the far left? Here's how crazy!  Certain factions in Houston Texas are trying to push through a bill to allow transgender people to use opposite sex bathrooms. Now, I realize that if you're gender confused, defining what the opposite sex is, can be, well, confusing. It isn't confusing for the rest of us, however.

Does this mean I can dress up like a woman and go into a woman's locker room and sit down for a spell? When I was 15 this would've seemed like a helluva an idea. But now, I've got daughters and granddaughters, so it's doesn't seem quite so swell.

This same group has attempted to subpoena the sermons of pastors, apparently to monitor for offensive speech. After all, you don't want some whacked-out preacher with an anti-transgender message to be allowed to freely speak his mind, now do ya?

Here's a good question; just how many people are really transgender? Probably about 1 in 100,000! This does not include Annie Hall types who may occasionally, purely for fashion reasons, choose to wear androgynous clothing. Although, some folks try to use just such people as evidence that Transgender folk are as numerous as people with a good tan

“Wait a minute, how politically incorrect of me to suggest that tans can be good! I guess I'm just another right-winger who loves cancer?”

Anyhow, when November rolls around vote these sum-bithces out of office! Pull that lever to the right and don't look back! Sure, there are plenty of insane Republicans, but, at least they seem to have some clue as to how the law is supposed to work. Meaning; you don't make laws that seek to protect behaviors that are so obscure as to be statistically insignificant. Not because some individuals are insignificant and shouldn't be protected. But, because they already are. In other words, if you're a man, piss in the right bathroom, no matter what confusion may be echoing in your head—and no one will complain. But don't expect to have your problem normalized through government legislation. Politicians aren't doctors, nor are they psychiatrists. The government can't deliver the mail without losing staggering amounts of money. What makes anyone think they can reasonably manage your personal problems?

“I know the answer to that!”

People who don't care about whether these things are actually doable, they just want somebody to take care of the problem. And, if we end up with a government so big that you work about half the year to pay all of the taxes (Which we pretty much already do) well, that's progress. More realistically, that's progressives! Like I said, VOTE!
