I wish he/she/they were more courageous, but it is a sound business decision. I bear them no ill-will. May their chains rest lightly upon them.

Yep. It would be one thing if the entire country rallied around Geller after the Texas attack, and immediately planned more events like hers.

But no such thing happened. Geller was left twisting in the wind.

So are the country club administrators cowards? Suppose a cop gets a call. A number of heavily armed terrorists are reported in a building, and are preparing an ambush. So the cop calls for backup. No backup arrives. So the cop decides not to enter the building. Is the cop a coward?

Not such an easy call.

If I were a Country Club owner, I could see using the same logic. Country Club folks generally are not eager to return to a place where a brutal attack (or defense) has occurred.

Well you didn't say "SUCCESSFUL defense" In fact, you placed the word "defense" in parentheses. Willingness to support free speech as it was intended by the Constitution and successfully resisting an attack on country club property could very well increase membership and positive reputation in many ways which may not be so obvious from the current vantage point. It could be a game-changer if enough organizations followed suit. This is a one-sided argument. I believe this (the decision the CC made)is really more a demonstration of foregone acceptance of dhimmitude and the complete loss of American values. And nothing to do with sound business decision-making.

Just move to another venue as FL is a CCW state.

Excellent idea. And it would send the right message. Reagan would have done exactly as you suggested.

Could FR folks be looking in a mirror here?

I did not know that “Texas Cowboy” chap, but I wonder if he would see an opportunity for jihad to be yeehawed without even having to risk breaking a single solitary law. There is no wrong, no evil in guarding an event in a SYG state. Even if it scares away the rag heads and not a shot is fired in anger, it achieved a victory.

Hello 2nd amendment, this is what you were put there for. Hello well drilled militia, whatcha gonna do?

This is or WAS AMERICA! Remember this and weep:

“What is it the Gentlemen wish? What would they have?
Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery?

Forbid it, Almighty God. I know not what coarse others may take, but as for me, GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH!”
Patrick Henry

“I will pull my membership to this club.”

BRAVO and I hope you will contact all your member friends and persuade them to do likewise!

yeah... who’s volunteering to help?

It’s shameful if Geller has been twisting in the wind. Or Wilder.

I wonder if the people who canceled this used a prayer rug when they bowed down to the Islamists among us.

I’d wonder who offered to help, first.

All we know is the negative, the boycott.

That is, pardon my French, literally God-damned pitiful.

Absolutely, and it would be no small victory!

If the Palm Beach GOP had any courage at all, they would take max americana's post to heart. Move the event to private property, such as a small farm, and let it be known that many prepared CCW folks will be in attendance.

The cowards here are not the golf club administrators. They are just frightened little middlemen. The cowards here will be the Palm Beach GOP if they do not reschedule the event.

If you want to take it as tearing down when I merely admonish YOU to stop tearing down...

well, all I am tearing down is your pride. And pride is worthless, it is damned already before God from the foundation of the world.

So black pot, meet white refrigerator.

We need to have these things and have snipers posted. And use those snipers

The only reason this event should be cancelled is that there aren't enough bullets.

Let it be known that WHO will be there?

Unless Maxie is volunteering, (s)he might cease from being part of the problem.

Why don’t you call the Freepers who agree with me instead of going all fag and obsessed with me as usual?
