Republican college students unite! Demand your right to a campus free of transgender bathrooms!
BSU takes heat for 'transgender bathroom' (The Oregonian):
…”We don't want the university to label this a transgender bathroom,” said Jonathan Sawmiller, 22, a BSU student senator and president of the school's College Republicans. He raised the issue in an April radio broadcast on a Boise AM station. “Since the media got hold of it, the university was told to stop referring to it as a 'transgender bathroom,' and to start calling it 'unisex,' ” he said.Sawmiller, who in early 2007 confronted BSU President Bob Kustra with a complaint that the school invites mostly liberal speakers, has enlisted the assistance of the Idaho Values Alliance, a conservative Christian group.
“Our view is, gender is assigned at birth,” said Bryan Fischer, the Idaho Values Alliance leader. “There's no third or fourth or fifth option.”
Fischer wants to know whether student groups — BSU's 200 campus organizations include Bisexuals, Gays, Lesbians and Allies for Diversity — will be allowed to alert transgender individuals to the restroom in their literature…
These guys desperately need something important to worry about.
They do have something to worry about — the erosion of what makes this country great.
However, since it's a Republican president in office doing things like turning the Department of Justice into a political organization for harassing Democrats and not the other way around, the irreparable harm to the rule of law doesn't make it to the Rush Limbaugh show.
People who voted for Bush should be ashamed of themselves if they're not the loudest critics of this administration. And if they're actually defending Bush then I have to wonder about their ability to understand the basic concepts underlying a democratic society.
College republicans should be spending their time trying to figure out how Bush flushed conservatism down the toilet. Part of the answer to that question is that he and his most fervent followers are much obsessed with the idea that Americans exercising freedom is what's wrong with America.
They're, in a word, nutfudges.
