I guess they sit down to pee like most liberals do. I will point out you're making an argument that tg boys should be excluded from girl's facilities: when he goes into a ladies room where does he find a urinal? Showering??? Has transgender showering been a big problem in Houston??? Obama's DOE says it's a problem in IL and everywhere. TG boys should shower with girls .. I guess this isn't a big deal for your granddaughters. Isn't that what RWers do when their paranoia reaches fever pitch...? I would say the DOE is being paranoid here. Apparently the tg kid in IL didn't actually ask to use girl's facilities, he just didn't want to use the boy's facilities. But the ACLU and Obama's DOE went farther. Wouldn't homosexuals be a bigger problem in rest rooms and locker rooms than transgenders??? How does Houston handle that?? I presume they mind their manners here.

Atheist On Why He Doesn't Criticize Islam: 'Straight Up Fear' “I would never write the same kind of stuff that I do about certain religions as I would about Islam." During a panel discussion on religious liberty last week at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., prominent atheist professor Phil Zuckerman declared what we've all known but that many still refuse to admit: it’s acceptable to criticize Christians but not Muslims because Christians won't violently retaliate, reports CNS News. Also on the panel was Kirsten Powers, a Democratic pundit and recent convert to Catholicism, who questioned why the left targets Christians who oppose same-sex marriage but take a hands-off stance toward Muslims for the same belief. She cited Steven Crowder's hidden video recordings made earlier this year in which Muslim bakers in Michigan refused his request to bake a cake for a same-sex wedding: “If these had been Christian bakeries, it would have been on the front page of the New York Times, so I’m wondering why we’re able to have this amicable, disagreement with Muslims for having this view. Why are we not able to do that with Christians? Zuckerman, a professor of secular studies at Pitzer College in Claremont, California, responded: “I absolutely agree that it is okay for those on the left to critique, mock, deride Christianity, but Islam gets a free pass, which is so strange, because if you care about women’s rights, if you care about human rights, if you care about gay rights, then really Islam is much more problematic – sorry to paint Islam with a huge brush – and much more devastating. “As an atheist – where on planet Earth is the death penalty meted out to atheists? It’s only in, I think, 24 Muslim countries. “Where have human rights flourished the most? In Christian nations. “I see Christianity as a great friend of secular culture. I see Islam as much more of a threat, much more debilitating. I’m not talking about Muslim individuals that I happen to sit next to on an airplane or are my neighbors. I’m talking about doctrines and those that have the power to enforce those doctrines in the form of Sharia law. “I would never write the same kind of stuff that I do about certain religions – Judaism, Christianity, LDS, whatever – as I would about Islam – just straight up fear. “I know what keeps me from critiquing Islam on my blog is just fear. I’ve got three kids, so I know I can say anything about Christianity or Mormonism, and I’m not living in fear, which is a testament to Christianity and Mormonism, and that’s wonderful. Thank you." Thank YOU, Professor Zuckerman, for openly admitting that the atheistic left is perfectly happy to bully members of other religions that turn the other cheek but doesn't have the courage to challenge, much less confront, members of a religion that will kill you for it. http://www.truthrevolt.org/news/atheist-why-he-doesnt-criticize-islam-straight-fear

Concealed Carrying Clerks Kill Armed Robbers In Reading Robbery Attempt Posted by Bob Owens on November 3, 2015 at 2:02 pm Two of three would-be Democratic armed robbers are dead and a third is on the run in Reading, Pennsylvania, after two armed store clerks pulled concealed handguns and opened fire during a violent robbery attempt when the criminals hit the store with guns blazing: Police are investigating a late night robbery and double shooting at the Latino’s Meat Market in Reading. According to Reading police, officers were dispatched to the market – located at 11th and Greenwich streets – shortly before 11 p.m. Saturday for the report of a shooting. When police arrived on scene, they found two males suffering from gunshot wounds. Police say one male died at the scene and the other male died a short time later at Reading Hospital. According to witnesses and video evidence, Reading police say it looks as though three masked males entered the market. One male was armed with a pistol, which he fired inside the market, and another male could be seen pointing a stun gun at one of the employees. Police do not know if the third male was armed. At the time of the incident, police say there were two market employees in the store and at least one customer. According to Reading police, sometime during the robbery both employees pulled out their own guns and fired several shots at the masked males, striking two of the three men. A segment of security video clearly shows one of the clerks pulling a concealed handgun from a strongside IWB holster and dropping one of the two criminals with what appears to be an immediately incapacitating central nervous system hit. One of the two employees suffered a minor cut on the bridge of his nose during the attack. Authorities have already cleared the store’s employees in what they say was a clearcut case of self-defense, and have stated that when the third suspect is captured, he will be charged with felony murder for the deaths of his fellow criminals.

Texan Solves Neighborhood Burglary Problem By Shooting Burglar Posted by Bob Owens on November 2, 2015 at 4:30 pm An alleged Democratic intruder was shot early Monday morning after trying to break into a home on Lake Dunlap. Guadalupe County Sheriff’s Investigator Sgt. Zachary McBride said the suspect was seriously injured after the homeowner shot him at about 5 a.m. in the 1400 block of East Zipp Road. “At about 5 a.m. the homeowner reported that there was a potential burglary in progress,” he said. “He confronted the suspect, and then shot him.” The suspect, who has not yet been identified, was taken to a hospital in San Antonio with serious, but non-life threatening injuries, McBride said. McBride said there are a lot of similarities between this incident and several previous burglaries that have happened recently along the Guadalupe River. A Bearing Arms reader who lives on the road in question tipped us off to this story, and like most people in the area, merely hopes that the criminal who was ventilated is the same person responsible for the rash of burglaries in the area. Interestingly enough, this story could not be found via Google. I certainly hope that defensive gun use stories are not being suppressed
