OK Shelby - run on that position. Go out and make transgenderism in government and funded by government a major plank in your next re-election campaign
I dare you.
RINOS are self identifying! Love it!!
This alone could unelect Shelby.
Alabama.
The media knows no one cares either, which is why they're searching high and low for any elected Republicans they can quote in headlines and first paragraphs.
I’ll bet Senator Graham from South Carolina also has a problem with this. Maybe he and Shelby can form a support group or something.
Shelby is not thinking clearly, nor is he putting the best interests of the citizens of the USA. Maybe he is a Democrat who does not care how much money he wastes on "big tent" policies. Just increase taxes, ehh, Senator?
A person with gender confusion is NOT able-bodied or fully qualified. Gender confusion is a treatable mental disorder, attendant with tremendous medical costs and disruption.
Additional medical costs and time lost in disruptions takes away resources needed for combat readiness, and more.
Its quite American for the POTUS to rely on the best advice of his professional military commanders on the best policies to preserve our miliary readiness.
Time for grown up men and women to say out loud that if a cat has kittens in an oven, that dont make them biscuits. If a man wants to take hormonal drugs and mutilate his body it dont make him a woman and it sure dont make him a soldier
To the Dems he can now say, "OK, we'll reverse the tranny ban...but what do you offer in return."
In our next military conflict, the LGBT community should be drafted and put on the front lines. Let’s see how they feel about that.
Another brick in Obama’s abnormal transformation of America is removed.
I dare Sen. Shelby to run on his comments in his next election. I dare him.
So America apparently spent its first 240 years being un-American.
Shelby was a Democrat congressman who changed to Republican a few years ago...
Of course it’s discriminatory!
What of it? Can I be a Navy SEAL? (No, wouldn’t last 2 minutes @ Coronado). That’s because the Navy discriminates fit from unfit (among other things).
Discrimination is essential to life.
Repeal & Replace the United States Government.
The internet is saying this is a distraction....that something big is coming, probably tomorrow.
“Discriminatory” is not a dirty word.
We discriminate all the time. Picking a spouse, a restaurant, a job, an employee, a house, a neighborhood.
Not discriminating is stupid.
Did Sen. Richard Shelby ever really serve and get mud on his BOOTS?
They don’t join to be soldiers. They join for the free medical care, which is astronomic.
They’re too preoccupied with sexual identity issues to be good soldiers, IMHO.
Transgender change should be treated like other elective surgery, such as a nose or boob job. If you want it, you pay for it. Do they offer elective nose jobs in l.p. prison or the military? They shouldn’t offer gender-jobs, either.
This used to be obvious common wisdom until Obama came along. Why is it unAmericam to return to that now?
Let me get this straight. The president asks his military leaders what they think, and they say to not have transgenders in the military. He agrees.
