Trump joins ranks of DNA deniers
By Cliff Kincaid
At the March for Life, Vice President Mike Pence said, "Life is winning through the steady advance of science that illuminates when life begins, more and more, every day." White House Counselor to the President Kellyanne Conway said, "Science and medicine have joined religion and morality in causing many Americans to rethink just how fragile and how triumphant human life truly is."
Yet the DNA deniers at Planned Parenthood and in the Democratic Party are desperate to ignore the scientific fact that an unborn child has his or her own DNA, separate from the mother.
But in another area – human sexuality and the biological differences between men and women – the DNA deniers have not only just scored a major victory in the matter of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA), but have demonstrated high-level sway with President Trump himself.
In a major setback for the facts of life and common sense, the BSA has decided to allow girls who think they are boys to join. The decision demonstrates that the forces of political correctness, or Cultural Marxism, are still on the march. In a flip-flop of his own, Trump has decided that Obama's executive order protecting "transgenders" should remain in place.
The issue of Obama's birth certificate, once a cause célèbre for Trump, has passed. But in welcoming "transgenders," birth certificates don't seem to matter at all.
The BSA statement says, "For more than 100 years, the Boy Scouts of America, along with schools, youth sports and other youth organizations, have ultimately deferred to the information on an individual's birth certificate to determine eligibility for our single-gender programs. However, that approach is no longer sufficient as communities and state laws are interpreting gender identity differently, and these laws vary widely from state to state."
In other words, the BSA is selling out to the DNA deniers. Girls can be boys, and vice versa.
In a previous column, we noted that the liberals and their media allies always claim they are in favor of science on matters such as global warming or climate change. But on the matter of human sexuality, science is denied and people are allowed to make up "facts" about themselves.
The New York Times headline proclaimed, "Boy Scouts, Reversing Century-Old Stance, Will Allow Transgender Boys." The term "transgender boys" is made up. It is fiction. It's like calling a tree a car.
Yet, the New York Times claims to have the ability to ferret out "fake news."
The notion that a girl is a boy is one of the biggest examples of "fake news" we can find. If you can't separate boys from girls, everything else is up in the air and anything goes.
When I took the Boy Scout Oath on my way to Eagle Scout, I pledged "to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight." How is "morally straight" compatible with an organization that allows members confused about their own sexual identity?
Since the BSA has abandoned traditional values, including the facts of science and biology, a new organization called Trail Life USA has been formed. It is a Christian scouting organization for boys and young men.
There is also an alternative to the Girl Scouts called American Heritage Girls. It, too, embraces Christian values.
Unfortunately, the new Trump administration has sided with the DNA deniers in deciding to keep Barack Obama's 2014 Executive Order that prohibits federal contractors from "discriminating" on the basis of sexual orientation or "gender identity." The Washington Post says the order applies to 24,000 companies that collectively employ about 28 million workers – representing about a fifth of the U.S. workforce.
The decision to keep the Obama order, said the New York Times, was Trump's personal decision.
Various self-declared sexual minorities were ecstatic. The homosexual magazine The Advocate declared that Trump broke a campaign promise in response to "mounting pressure from LGBT activists."
Ryan T. Anderson of the Heritage Foundation noted that Trump's decision to keep the Obama executive order threatens religious liberty.
"This perfectly terrible order requires all businesses to affirm the radical LGBTQ agenda as the cost of doing business with their own government," commented Bryan Fischer of the American Family Association. Peter LaBarbera of Americans for Truth says he is "deeply disappointed that Mr. Trump has chosen to defend false LGBTQ 'rights' based on changeable homosexual and gender-confused behaviors."
Obama's CIA director, John Brennan, was a nemesis of President Trump during the transition, but it looks like the "diversity" policies he promoted will remain in place. Brennan told the Wall Street Journal in his final interview as director that "he would prefer his legacy be the way he fought to nurture a workforce that reflected America's diversity."
"During his tenure" as CIA director, the paper reported, Brennan had "put particular emphasis on promoting the interests of gay, lesbian, and transgender officers. He was the first CIA director to attend an annual social gathering of LGBTQ employees and has been known to wear a rainbow lanyard around the office as a symbol of solidarity."
All of this was fashionable in the Obama administration. But why should DNA denial be carried forward in the Trump administration as an official policy? The Trump administration seems to recognize the facts of biology and DNA in how they approach the abortion issue. Yet, on matters involving "gender identity," truth has been left behind and the Obama policy will apparently continue.
Such an approach in the field of intelligence can be suicidal. If intelligence officers can't figure out their own sexual identity, how can we expect them to identify the nature of foreign threats to America?
Obama also forced on the U.S. military a policy of allowing "transgendered soldiers" and even paying for their sex change operations. One of those soldiers, Bradley Manning, who now claims to be a female, had his prison sentence commuted by Obama before Obama left office. He was in prison for espionage.
Republicans in general condemned the commutation, noting Manning's role in giving classified documents to WikiLeaks. They should take a look at the role of sexual confusion over "gender identity" in Manning's decision to betray his/her country. He was an open homosexual in the Armed Forces before deciding to become a woman.
When you allow mentally confused people in the ranks of the military or intelligence community, you are inviting treason and treachery. The Manning case proves the point.
If soldiers or intelligence analysts can't figure out whether they are male or female, how can they be expected to understand right versus wrong? These people should be placed in a mental hospital, not the CIA or the Special Forces.
