Republican Presidential also-ran-in-training and human war crime Mike Huckabee has more wit and wisdom to share. You can go back to bed now.
On the heels of blithely claiming Obama is marching Israel “to the doors of the oven” — a soundbite he somewhat recanted yesterday, opining “maybe the metaphor is not a good one” — he’s now turned his attention to the Pentagon’s plan to start disassembling the U.S. military’s ban on transgender people, a process that begins Monday.

As you may have guessed, Huckabee feels the ban — which disqualifies anyone who has a “history of psychosexual conditions, including but not limited to transsexualism, exhibitionism, transvestism, voyeurism, and other paraphilias” — should not be lifted. Because that would turn the military into a “social club.” Like Chuck E. Cheese’s Pizzatime Theatre.
How about we take this to the next level?

“Men are men,” he revealed, pulling no punches. “Women are women. There’s a difference. The military is not a social organization. The military is not a place where we try out experiments. The military is designed to kill people and break things.”
Stopping just short of emphasizing his point with toy soldiers and vintage Matchbox tanks, Huckabee added, “The military is not designed to be a social club or some type of organization where we help people feel better about themselves. If there’s something that makes it difficult for you to defend this country, maybe the military is not the right place for you.”
And to finish that thought, if you’re a certifiably insane warmonger, child molester sympathizer, and bigot, maybe the 2016 campaign trail isn’t the right place for you, either.

Even the proverbial stopped clock is right twice a day… so yes, the military is primarily an organization put in place to defend the country and its interests abroad, BUT I fail to see why a trans person can’t play a role in that defense if he or she meets all of the basic requirements.
Sure, there are SOME trans individuals who shouldn’t serve or couldn’t serve, but that’s true for every group, for every race, or for any sub-category you can come up with. Judge the applicants on their skills, health, and intelligence, and not on their gender.
And of course one should ALSO point out that Huck never served in the military at all, so what the hell does he know about it anyway? I suspect he’d shit his pants if he ever came up against an enemy. He’s a wuss.

You mean something like your ‘flat feet’, you craven degenerate?

Oh, Huckleberry, why won’t you just STFU and go home? Every day it’s a race to see which GOP “hopeful” can make the biggest di©khead of himself, but it’s always a close call.

Let me remind us again:
Mike Huckabee was first and foremost on the frontline to ‘defend’ Josh Duggar and his actions and to suggest ‘forgiveness’.
Mike Huckabee, like Sarah Palin and a great majority of the other homophobes in the Klown Kar, NEED attention. Ted Cruz ‘spouts off’ on a regular basis.
I’m not suggesting that our ‘reporters’ quit writing about them, or taking focus off them, but JESUS H. CHRIST ON A BICYCLE, stop giving them what they want ALL THE DAMNED TIME!

Mike Huckabee could use a party, the mans an idiot !!!!

Sounds good to me. If people in the military spend more time partying, they’ll have less time to kill innocent people in foreign countries. Win win.

I have about had it with you Queerty I posted how I felt and it was my opinion you have no right to spam that simply because you don’t agree with it.
But since you intentionally silenced mine….yet again on this site I will put it simply.
Mike Huckabee please sit down you continue to be an embarrassment to the republican party plain and simple as well as to intelligence , common human decency, humility, compassion, respect, and religion in general.
You are a true embarrassment.
