Do Pray the Country Club legal action is assigned a
righteous Judge sic. strict constructionist. IMO but I am
not an attorney skilled in legal theft,via word games.A
country Club by definition is a private organization
and ough tnot be interfered with by the queer politicians.
surely Shirley is NOT in her right mind.Old gal needs a headcheck--or maybe she ought face the greens more.
The county that this is in is a huge enclave of liberals. This crap started because these homos had nothing better to do.There are plenty of public courses in the area where they can play, without having to join a club.
And I make another -homosexual behavior is NOT natural --
nor deserving of special class protections. Who one wants
to bugger is NOT a Constitutional /nor Civil Right
When we were young marrieds living in a fleabag apartment over on Briarcliff Road, we had old fashioned skis that converted to cross country by releasing the back wire binding (leather boots too! and they were about 8 feet long!). During Snowjam '82, we skiied all the way over to the golf course, then fastened the back bindings and spent the afternoon schussing down the multiple-step hill right behind the clubhouse (and then laboriously herring-boning back up to the top!) Then we skiied back . . . ah, youth!
LOL! I know. I grew up aound there.
Been there and done that. The greenskeeper must hate us.
BTW, represented in congress by the dishonorable Cynthia Mckinney.
Should we ask the honorable Buckhead to be a FRiend of the court in this case?
The Chastain Park course is so poorly maintained anyhow, that nobody can tell the difference between a hill that's been chewed by 1-2,000 sledders, snowboard wannabes, and large dogs . . . and the regular maintenance.
And a few hundred retired hackers who never replace divots. LOL! Did you know you can tee off before 7 am at Chastain for about six bucks? The place is packed with old timers at that hour.
I grew up around the corner from Chastain. My grandfather and my mother were big time golfers (my mother in law is as well, and my husband played until he couldn't get in under her family membership any more). But I've never played - my only contact with golf courses is sledding and skiing on them.
One of the highlights of my young life was to watch a sled full of teenage boys go down the hill along Powers Ferry and straight over the runout into Nancy Creek. (No teenage boys were hurt - but my dad got some GREAT pictures. Wish we could find them!)
That's good news; hope they win this case.
Some of the judges in DeKalb Superior are good solid judges. Some are mediocre, and some are political hacks. (After all, DeKalb is awfully liberal, and all our judges are elected.) A lot will depend on the judge drawn.
Of course, if they draw a bad judge, they will take it on up (probably to the GA Supreme Court since it sounds like an equity and constitutional case). What happens there will depend upon how chastened the more liberal Supremes are by recent election events, and whether a fairly liberal justice has retired yet to be replaced by a conservative appointed by the Republican governor . . .
Everybody on FR rails about judges appointed for life, but think for a minute about what happens when judges are ELECTED and have to think about the effects of their decisions on re-election . . .
I remember when her father, a state senator at the time, threatened to cut another senator with a knife. That sort of classiness you have to work at. LOL
What really ticks off those liberals is the Stone Mountain Memorial. They can't stand it and want to blast it into rubble. The park went downhill after it was transferred to State ownership and the liberals started using it as a bike path. When I was a kid, my parents would take my brother and me there for Sunday picnics. Nowadays, you'd have to fight traffic jams and crowds of liberal bicyclists deliberately getting in your way, going in, driving through, and coming out.
I don't go to Stone Mountain any more. It's a joke. When I was a kid it was just there. Not gate, no snack bar, no train, no useless building on top and no pointy head cyclists with neon spandex. You could just right in and about half way to the top.
Speaking of DeKalb County, I found out recently that a cousin of mine was a preacher at Wesley Chapel back in the 1870s. After that, he moved to Nashville and became the editor of the quarterly magazine of the Southern Methodist Episcopal Church.
The backlash cometh everywhere.
