Our Rules

By the Rules

The quote of the day has to be Limbaugh saying that, far from being over, Operation Chaos is alive, and one of his most daunting tasks may be convincing Republicans to cross the aisle and vote for John McCain.  Once again, however, while calling for a DOJ Civil Rights action against the DNC, for trampling the civil rights of Florida and Michigan Democrats, Limbaugh agreed that, as a private organization, they had the right to make their own rules, but it was still outrageous behavior.  I agree that private organizations have the right to have their own rules, but do  Democrats? Congressional Democrats, primarily, have  dictated to MLB, the NFL, the NBA, and just about  every other club, and franchise, how they must conduct business.  Did the Citadel and VMI have the  right to continue their tradition of  all-male student bodies?  Hell no.  They were forced to accept women, or have the tax laws used to break them. Are federal monies funneled into the Democratic Party, either directly or through the  tax laws?  Bet your arse.  Maybe Martha Burk, who's (failed) joint crusade with the New York Times against the  Augusta National Golf Club, for not having woman members, will be similarly outraged over the DNC's chauvinistic behavior towards the women in Florida and Michigan, and file suit on her own.  Pricks.
