im sure that country club doesnt want rumors of allowing blatant racism on its course
thats just me tho... and i tend to push things a bit far, im told

unfortunately for them,they dont just represent themselves when they have a giant sign outside with a corporations name on it.

about to do it to a local radio shack over a political sign infront of their building and on their lot actually... lol...
