Bush sees 'role' for transgender soldiers
The Hill ^ | 6/17/15 | Ben Kamisar

Posted on 06/17/2015 1:50:03 PM PDT by jimbo123

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush did not rule out transgender troops serving in the military during comments on the campaign trail in Iowa.

“I’m sure there’s a role for everybody to play in the armed forces,” said Bush, a 2016 White House contender, according to BuzzFeed News.

“I think it would depend on the role, the specific role, whether it’s appropriate or not.”

He added morale should be the top priority of the military and that if “you can accommodate that in that kind of environment, I don’t think there’s a problem for it.”

We as a society have lost the ability to say that the military is fundamentally different from civilian life. We have lost the reasoning ability to say that, whatever accmodations are made for trans whatevers in the civilian world, that such people don’t belong in the military. We are so politically correct and afraid of being called bigoted against Certain people, that we are put in a position to have to prove that standards are not discriminatory against certain people. There is a presumption that any standards are discriminatory.

Klinger was funny. Tootsie was funny. Mrs. Doubtfire was mildly funny. Sean Penn’s line in Fast Times at Ridgemont High (Those guys are fags!) was funny. Blazing saddles was hilarious. Political correctness is ruining all the funny movies.

Can we still like Aerosmith’s song Dude Looks Like a Lady?

Klinger was trying to get out of the military.

With his daily inane statements, we need to start calling him “Jeb Biden”.

Put them on the front lines of a frontal assault against ISIS. Then, as the Jihadis are either laughing themselves silly or frozen in place with their mouths agape, have the next wave open up full auto on them.

Somebody on another site doesn’t “get” why conservatives don’t like Jeb. We showed this person many things.

And they still don’t “get it” - it’s amazing what fools some percentage of the population.

Dear jeb: No Thanks. Please retire gracefully and spare us having to shoot you down through an election (figuratively, of course).

I said this morning he’s a radical leftist and he proves it everyday and here we go, once again. This guy is a prime example how taken over the Republican party is by the left. If we had a REAL Republican party his ass would have been booted out years ago. He’s wants to run for POTUS, do it as a Democrap. I would say he’s more leftist that Pelosi, I didn’t see Pelosi giving Hitlery an award on the anniversary of Benghazi like this doofus. So we got a far left radical running for POTUS as a Republican, what a freakin’ joke this party has become.

He is so eager to try for the leftist vote that he will say anything.
