Tony Perkins is calling for President Barack Obama be impeached. The Family Research Council president made his demands Friday speaking with Fox News religion reporter Todd Starnes about the administration's new directive to protect transgender students in public schools, as Right Wing Watch reports.

Starnes writes that "Perkins said the decree should be 'resisted with ever legal and moral instrument we have available to us in this country.'"

“If the president chooses to go forward with this outrageous order – then congress should begin impeachment proceedings,” Starnes says Perkins told him. “Every parent, every school board in America should absolutely refuse to sacrifice the safety of their children for the threat of taking away nine federal pennies that make up every educational dollar.”...

Speaking of fundraising, the Family Research Council sent this email at 6:30 AM today:

1. Using gender identity as a weapon !

2. Hey Christian bathroom police, go fuck yourselves. Seriously.

I'm tired of playing nice with you douchebags. Go fuck yourselves.

And you also don't give a shit about children either. Shut up and stop pretending to.

5. Is it

Is it only the Christians using a weapon here, a stick to beat tolerance or intolerance into people the other side does not like?

Hey, I have an idea, if you look like a guy, use the men's restroom, if you look like a girl, use the woman's restroom. If you are going to get beat up no matter what you choose, have a unisex restroom and maybe come into the 21st century?

There is intolerance no matter where you are and I live in the tolerance utopia of California. If you do not conform to the gender norms, people still look askance at you and I feel for people in less tolerant places but this fight between people without any dog in the hunt is not helping and will only lead to a backlash.

6. Tell you what, Tony

You get yourself elected to the House, draft some articles of impeachment, bring them to the House floor, and vote on them. Don't ask others to do your dirty work for you. "Personal responsibility," remember?

7. From the introduction of resolutions in late October 1973 until Nixon's resignation

the following August, the Nixon crisis took over ten months. There's an election in six months, Obama leaves the White House in about eight months. Tony is just looking for publicity
