Okay Dave,

Now let’s talk about freedom. Clubs in the United States are FREE to do what
they wish. If the club is a private club then it should be FREE to endorse
what ever it chooses. If the club wants to reject members it has every right
to do so.

  *Now* we're getting somewhere, and you may be surprised to learn that on this
point you and I are in complete agreement!  A non-guvmint-funded club is
absolutely free to accept or reject members as it sees fit; it can refuse
membership on basis of "race," religion, gender, age, sexual preference, or
even the color of one's shirt.  No one is arguing that a club must be forced to
accept members indiscriminately.  The very fact that it's a private club
guarantees that it can set its own agenda without some external body dictating
the club's rules for it.

     Dave!
