Obama threatens, gives deadline to North Carolina on transgender law
Spero News ^ | MAY 4, 2016 | BY MARTIN BARILLAS

Today the Obama Justice Department warned North Carolina state officials that their state stands to lose millions of dollars in federal funds unless they change a measure limiting access to bathrooms for transgender people. In a letter to Gov. Pat McCrory, DOJ contends that they and North Carolina would be in violation of federal civil rights law if the bill passes.

According to the Justice Department, the state law violates federal law under Title VII of the U.S. Civil Rights Act, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex. The Obama administration says that with the passage of House Bill 2, “the state is engaged in a pattern or practice of resistance to the full enjoyment of Title VII right by employees of public agencies.”

Every time the b-stard does something like this, something favorable to the maybe 2% that are homosexuals in this country he is projecting himself. He is saying “I am homosexual as ‘H’” when he insists on pushing himself, and his agenda on we the people.

As far as I’m concerned he told us all who he is in his book. The only thing he hasn’t admitted as far as I can tell is that he is a Muslim, but he really can’t say that, and be a homo, and keep his head can he.

Your Lt. Gov. Dan Forest said it well when he blasted the OB Adminstration........

...“To use our children and their educational futures as pawns to advance an agenda that will ultimately open those same children up to exploitation at the hands of sexual predators is by far, the sickest example of the depths the … administration will stoop to ‘fundamentally transform our nation.....

NC can withhold tax receipts then and also bill the Feds for illegal alien costs.

If the meaning of words like 'male' and 'female' can be changed or interpreted or oscillate, no words are safe.

Good & Evil, Life & Death, etc.

Leftists are grandmasters of perverting and subverting language and its meaning. To do so is to control the argument and frequently the outcome.

The enemedia communicates daily language which the Left deems (Savage voice) acceptable.

If NC fails to prevail, that small bit of America left will be greatly diminished. A giant spiritual disaster on par with that which caused the Whitehut to be bathed in the colors of sodomites.

Yup. He does more damage in 4 hours than some have done in a whole term. Like we need a homosexual shrine in New York City.

I am seriously concerned about children being abused because of these stupid laws. They are unnatural, and we are probably the laughingstock of the entire world because of a whole host of issues.

Our military has become a sick joke with men having to practice walking in stiletto womens' shoes, not to mention the waste of money. I cannot imagine a procurement order (that's what they usually call it as opposed to purchasing order) for dozens of red womens' high heeled shoes.

I think the true purpose of the exercise is to degrade our brave men who serve.

It is very wrong to renege on an agreement because a state passes a law Obama doesn't like. Put it through the courts and let the state have their grant money. They didn't like it when the Republicans approved money for Zika but not nearly what they wanted.

And corporations getting involved. What in the he!! is that about? They and our government are nothing but a bunch of bullies.

Discrimination because of “sex”?

Technically, “transgender” is NOT a sex, nor is it a “gender”. It’s a male who thinks he’s a girl, or vice-versa.

The civil rights act contains no reference to “transgender.

I guess Obama is afraid he won’t be able to use the ladies room after he leaves the white hut.

It’s gonna be a dream come true to see President Trump halt these kinds of threats and instead shift to halting Federal funds to so-called sanctuary cities instead. What goes around comes around.

The control over federal funding is the role of Congress. Sorry Dumbama, we have not yet become a dictatorship.

Soooooooo......if Obama cuts off federal funds from NC then I guess that means all the welfare recipients and illegal non-English speaking invaders won’t be getting their checks. Guess they’ll have to move to some other states. Awwww....that would just be too bad.

As an aging, white hetero male, I feel micro-aggressed each time Barry or one of his minions opens their yaps. Where’s my safe space? Why can’t Barry and Co. “check their privilege”
