"Our membership alone decides our membership -- not any outside group with its own agenda,'' Johnson said in a surprisingly long and angry statement.

"The Masters, in my mind, is not tied at the hip to this club,'' she said. "An event of this profile could be held somewhere else.''

Oh, really Martha Burk?

Shows just how much you don't know about The Masters!

Just shows you don't need to be feminine to be flighty.

Federal civil rights laws do not make it unlawful for bona fide private clubs and religious organizations to discriminate on whatever basis they choose.

They will go NOWHERE with this. I don't care how much they try to shake down the sponsors. Americans are not in the mood for this cr*p right now. In fact, I'd love to see them try it.

As for her statement that the Masters could be held at another course, all I can say is, "what an ignorant hag!"

The National Council of Women's Organizations, which has about 6 million members from 160 groups....

I'll bet that 20 percent of each of these people belongs to more than one group which means the 6 million could be a lot less.

Martha Burk, head of the Center for Advancement of Public Policy recently wrote a thoughtful article explaining the white male flight to the radical right, religious supremacists politics of the Republican party in the last election. This is the heart of it:

"The mostly male face of the Republican landslide is no surprise. The male/Republican female/Democratic trend has been evident since 1980, paralleling increasing Republican efforts to deprive women of abortion rights and consign them to second-class economic citizenship.

"Beside women and men sometimes have opposite priorities, and there was a smidgen of testosterone in this election. Many guys who don't actually own a gun still want to be able to buy one easily - just in case they're called on to clean up Dodge. Women tend to worry about getting raped at gunpoint. Basic difference.

"Does this mean we are head for a new politics of gender - a 'men's party' and a 'woman's party?' Hardly.

"The white male roar was in response to something much more basic: fear of the future. For the first time since World War II men are facing long-term systemic job insecurity. When people are fearful, they look for scapegoats and saviors. Republicans produced scapegoats - welfare (blacks), affirmative action (women), and immigrants (all the rest) - while pointing to themselves as saviors. Desperate white guys went for it. --

Martha Burk, president, Center for Advancement of Public Policy.

I only wish I had an email for the esteemed Mrs. Burk...I'd really like to forward this to her:

It's a private club and a private tournament. Last I heard, we lived in a Country where our Right to freely associate with anyone, or any group, is guranteed.

Msssssss. Burk, are you anti-First Amendment? Do you hate this country that much? Do a bunch of old men getting together to golf and bitch about nazis like you scare you that much?

We'll let the free market decide - and you can bet your heterosexual-male phobic, wide-body @ss that when the sponsors look at the ratings share the Masters enjoys they will not back out. That leaves you with only one option if you hate the First Amendment's guarantee that I won't have to associate with the likes of you:

Emmigrate, you ho.

"The message delivered to us was clearly coercive,'' he said. "We will not be bullied, threatened or intimidated. We do not intend to become a trophy in their display case.''

I applaud you, Mr. Johnson. Stand tall sir.

"There may well come a day when women will be invited to join our membership, but that timetable will be ours, and not at the point of a bayonet,'' Johnson said.

I applaud you again,  Mr. Johnson. Stand tall sir.

"Augusta National and the Masters -- while happily entwined -- are quite different,'' Johnson said. "One is a private golf club. The other is a world-class sports event of great public interest. It is insidious to attempt to use one to alter the essence of the other.''

Again sir,  I applaud you. Stand tall Mr. Johnson.

BaddaBOOM! BaddaBING! This display of 'nads deserves a hearty round of applause and a resounding: YOU GO, BOY!!!!

YOU GO, BOY!!!!

Beautifully done and said. Personally, I would have told the rhymes-with-punt to go poop in her hat (or in her sensible shoes, at least)--and in those exact words!

Finally, the alpha males are coming back!!!!!!

Cordially,

RepoGirl

"We were trying the olive-branch approach, but he's unwilling to talk.''

Debbie has left Dallas and there's an opening so we were thinking that perhaps you'd like to join the good-ol' boys club so that we can shoot a Martha Does Dallas video.
