Bob Jenkins: A liberal-made crisis

If this transgender issue is the most important problem in the world, then why wasn’t it addressed 20 years ago, or 10, or five, or even two years ago?

Instead, it became an issue during the spring of an election year in a Southern state with a Republican governor, legislature and senators.

Liberals say that we should never waste a good crisis. Obviously, they also believe that if there is no crisis, they should create one, no matter how disruptive and divisive it may be. The damage that it does to the state of North Carolina is irrelevant as long as it promotes their political goals.
