You and I may disagree about the nature of transgender but you always remind me no matter what a transgender is, he or she is always a human being and there is no reason to make anyone miserable for being what they are. You are the central planetary magnetic core, which guides the compass.<br />I do wish Bernie or someone would stand up and say clearly: Look, Obamacare was the best we could do when the insurance companies still ruled but the nation can change its mind--as it did with gay marriage--and not it's ready for Medicare-for-all or a government option. We have learned, even in Kentucky and West Virginia, health care is good and government can make that good possible.<br />Mad Dogthe phantom speakshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01629183077961716582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3859118341865282720.post-27625369997198170122017-07-28T09:11:21.340-04:002017-07-28T09:11:21.340-04:00Mad Dog,
Last night a humiliating defeat for the ...Mad Dog, <br />Last night a humiliating defeat for the GOP...now they'll go for the more covert slaughter of Obamacare as you describe-by cuts and repeated moves to force it's failure..Would be nice if McCain's plea to all "work together" had some legs-but I'm not holding my breath-look at the players. Bravo to McCain, Collins and Murkowski for standing their ground..<br /><br />As for the transgender issue, agree-it's merely a distraction tool by the chump in charge-one more pitifully obvious, lead footed maneuver. But c'mon Mad Dog, we should look the other way at blatant discrimination because it might not play well in the heartland and there aren't "that many" folks effected anyway..What?? Have we sunk so low that there is a cut off point on number of victims before one moves to assist or object?<br /><br />I readily acknowledge transgender is not totally understood by a majority of Americans and I would be in that majority. I read a cover story several months ago in Time on the subject and have to say I had no idea there were so many subcategories under transgender. Complicated. What is not complicated, however, is that blanket discrimination based on race, gender, or sexual identification is wrong. If a person is deemed mentally and physically fit to serve, that should be the only deciding factor on whether they are allowed to do so.<br />Maudmaudnoreply@blogger.com
