With his recent ban on transgender people in the military combined with his comments about Latinos and Muslims, President Trump has changed his motto to "Make Discrimination Great Again."
— Patrick Gannon, Lake Oswego
Note from KBJ: This is too cute by half. To discriminate is to distinguish. Some distinctions between (among) persons rest on relevant differences and some do not. Only those that (1) rest on irrelevant differences and (2) work to the disadvantage of certain individuals are invidious, i.e., constitute discrimination in the bad sense. The question in this case is whether there is a relevant difference between "transgender people" and other people with respect to military preparedness, military cohesion, military efficiency, and military discipline. Patrick Gannon ignores all these questions and goes for the slogan. Good work, Patrick! You're ready for a job with the Democrat Party!
