>Is there data to back this up or could it be just the bigoted opinion of a few jerks? The same things were said about blacks, gays, and women.
One of the things the military beats out of you is special snowflake syndrome.
Transexuals are pretty much the spitting image of a special snowflake in denial of reality of basic biology.
Just because they've managed to bring along a big part of the left into their collective delusions doesn't make it sound military policy to coddle them in the military ranks.
>The military already evaluates every recruit
Depending on their quota, recruiters are evaluating whether or not you have a pulse and can sign the dotted line.
Lets be serious for a moment.
The military's job is to kill people and fuck shit up, not be your social justice experiment test bed.
Trans people are not "just like blacks and Mexicans", they are suffering form body dysmorphia - it's a form of mental illness. If you have a penis and think you are a woman inside, you are no more sane than someone who thinks they are really a unicorn, deep down inside.
The antifa people are using fascist tactics of violence and intimidation against 1) a democratically elected government and 2) supporters of that government.
In terms of ideology, sure, the antifa people have more in common with straight up 1917 Marxist-Leninists.
If you are committing aggravated assault, burning calls and busting up shops, you are already sufficiently radicalized as to be a lost cause.
Incarceration isn't being done to win their hearts and minds, but to maintain law and order.
the "protestors" are the sea the rioters swim in. Without the cover of the protestors, there would be no rioters. Without the rioters, there would be a lot less press coverage of the "protests".
It's a symbiosis, and the protestors are hardly innocent.
They are not unlike the Muslim Brotherhood vs. Al Qaeda vs. Islam. Sure, the Muslim Brotherhood doesn't, nominally, support terrorism, but the respective groups' goals are identical (the global supremacy of Sunni Islam). The only things they quibble about are tactics.
Sometimes, the law makes an example of you.

Jose Ismael Torres and Kayla Rae Norton got 20 year and 15 year sentences for riding down a street with a confederate flag and yelling racial epithets (and allegedly having a gun). Normally, stuff like that doesn't result in 20 year sentences, but every once in a while, a smack down occurs.
Rioters have gotten used to being treated with kids gloves for the better part of two decades. Normal Americans are getting sick of their shit, and in some cases, normal Americans and not left-wing agitators still control the Justice system.
Yes, the Y chromosomes contains less genetic data but it's information not found in the X chromosome. So because data is repeated, two X chromosomes contain less information than an X and a Y.
...
BTW: I'm not suggesting that this is a deliberate attempt to mislead.
Good, because you're wrong. It isn't a question of containing less or more data (although you are wrong on that account too), it's a question of homozigosity vs heterogosity. Females inherit an X chromosome from both their father and mother.
That means they have two different versions of the X-chromosome. Not the same.
The reason why two X-chromosomes are better than one is because most sex-linked diseases require you to be homozygous. Guess what? If you are a male, you are homozygous because you only have one copy of the gene.
Central America isn't a continent you moron, it's a region. Just like the "Middle East" isn't a continent, it's part of Asia (hence it's other name, Southwest Asia).
The Americas are divided into two continents, North and South America.
Simply put, Americans can call themselves Americans for a couple of reasons:
#1 because they choose to. #2 because no one else chooses to.
So EVERYONE knows what people are talking about when someone mentions an American. Only pedantic assholes who probably bitch about the floral pattern of their friend's toilet paper really give a shit about Americans being called Americans and "appropriating" "3 [sic]" contintents.
Neither of which have anything to do with the President. Jobs that grow the economy are created by companies, not the government, and definitely not the President.
",relative world stability"
Which had nothing to do with Clinton, but was instead the "Peace Dividend" from the end of the Cold War.
", a constantly improving world image"
You mean like when Clinton bombed Sudan without UN approval? Or when he attacked Serbia without UN approval?
", and everyone was succesful"
Oh yeah, lets make some more sweeping, unsupportable statements.
Lets compare to my take:
We had a surging Islamicist movement that was ignored by Clinton despite multiple terrorist attacks against the US.
We had a huge economic bubble that was unhealthy in the extreme and is the reason why we went through a recession in 2000 and 2001. Now, I don't blame this on Clinton, but I also don't blame the recession on Bush. Repeat after me: the President doesn't control the economy. Congress has way more control than the President does.
Ok, so lets continue.
"let's take a look at Bush: record unemployment."
Compared to what? 5.7% unemployment is "record unemployment"? Ok, you've just proven yourself an idiot. Unemployment was at over 7% during Clinton's first year. And in 1986 it hit 9%.
"two full scale wars conflicts involving US troops in at least 4 other locales"
Ok, so I guess we should've left Afghanistan alone. That's a good argument.
"Record budget deficit Record trade deficit"
Congress sets the budget. And as for the trade deficit, we do not have a command economy. Quit buying Japanese cars and computers. YOU are part of the problem. Yes, YOU the American CONSUMER. Bush has NOTHING to do with it. Might as well blame the fucking thing on God.
"notable loss of civil liberties"
Sorry, I haven't "noted" this at all. My life has continued exactly as before. Then again, I'm not plotting to blow up buildings like a little crypto-anarchist.
"We have lost all credibility and good will in the international arena."
You assume we had any to begin with. We didn't. Pretty much everyone has hated us for a long time. Because we are they haves and they are the have nots. It doesn't matter what we do for them or don't do for them. It's called jealousy.
"We have fostered and increased hatred of our country in the Arab world"
Get a clue. They hated us long before Bush came around. They've been hating us pretty consistently since we took over for the British.
"Our currency is declining daily against the Euro which should reduce our trade deficit with Europe but isn't because of the economic policies of Bush"
Pick up a book on US government, and then pick up a book on Macro Economics. Europe's economy is in a recession (well, Germany and France's). Why? Because their US exports dried up. Our trade balance sheet hasn't improved because the Chinese lowered their currency right along with the dollar, and the Japanese went on a dollar buying binge to prop up their export market.
It's the city proper, although the Houston MSA still only has about 4.5 million people, so I was a little off when I said Houston had more people. Thats what I get for working from memory instead of fact checking.
My point is that Texas has the 2nd largest economy in the Union (behind California), the 2nd largest population (also behind California), and we actually have a pretty damn diverse economy as well, so someone saying something along the lines of "what's in Texas besides video game companies" is pretty damn ignorant.
"The only industry I know thats in Texas is the video game industry."
That's because you are stupid.
Massachusets has less people in it than Houston does.
Texas has Austin, Houston, and Dallas/Ft Worth, which all have significant tech corridors producing a hell of a lot more than video games.
The University of Texas at Austin, Texas A&M, and Rice University are all superb schools, and depending on what subject you are talking about, everybit as good in some cases as your vaunted ivy league schools (oops, Rice IS an Ivy League school).
Actually, yes I am in the "top 5%" of wage earners, which hardly makes me "rich". What it does mean is I pay in income tax about what the average household income is, who's tax burden is about 1/10th of mine. I'm fine with that. I'm just disgusted with people who think that, because I make six figures that "I don't pay may fair share" and we need to "tax the rich some more".
When democrats and other class warfare socialists talk about taxing the rich, do you know who they are talking about? Did you know a first year teacher and a first year firefighter, married, together, qualify as "rich" under the democratic taxation scheme?
Our unemployment rate, btw, is below 6%, so don't talk to me about being out of a fucking job. It's not breadlines and soup kitchens out there you moron. It's people whining because they can't pay for their optioned out toyota forerunner and carry their $300k mortgage anymore.
While a noble idea, the problem is, if you are one of those people who can choose not to fly until they promise passenger privacy, then you aren't really one of "Those Who Pay The Bills". Airlines make their money off of business travelers. Everyone else is just paying for the fuel.

Thats right, if you want things to change, vote democratic, because we all know the way to create new jobs is higher taxes.
Islam is a religion, so, no, I am not a closet racist.
The fact stands, the vast majority of airline terrorist events have been carried out by Muslims.
Instead of resorting to a cheap ad hominem attack, why don't you try to refute the claim?
Maybe because you can't?
Actually, I hope we do. About time we stop propping up people unwilling to defend themselves.
