How the fuck is it that ANYONE doesn’t seem to get that _nationalism_, of _any_ stripe, is Nazism?\* \*(and therefore anathema to all civilized peoples, in case it needed to be pointed out) ---

Isn’t Christian nationalism the philosophy of the KKK? ---

This seems like an appropriate place to link to Doug Stanhope [talking about nationalism](https://youtu.be/QsPDT5qHtZ4) from several years ago. Very NSFW audio. ---

I don’t think the pushback will be that difficult. According to your link the organization Faithful America promotes progressive ideas and social justice. Clearly MTG will simply claim these are a bunch of pedophiles and “groomers” masquerading as Christians. ---

Apparently they were just giving away golf tickets for $1 a pop since turnout was not what they hoped. ---

Is attendance for big golf tournaments often high? I have zero interest in the sport and so most of my mental imagery is probably from Happy Gilmore and Caddyshack, which featured fairly small crowds. ---

They certainly _seem_ crowded when I pan past them on TV, or am forced to watch in a waiting room. ---

> [@Johnny\_Bravo](#): > > Is attendance for big golf tournaments often high? I have zero interest in the sport and so most of my mental imagery is probably from Happy Gilmore and Caddyshack, which featured fairly small crowds. For Major tournaments the attendendance is huge, usually limited by space. The Open (Brittish) this year - **290,000 spectators** to attend The 150th Open over 4 days. Unprecedented demand to attend this historic milestone for The Open led to more than 1.3 million applications in the ticket ballot and has resulted in the highest-ever number of general admission tickets being issued to fans. This past weekend at Detroit’s Rocket City Open (normal to small market tourney), around 70,000 for the weekend (2 days). The Masters in Augusta, GA (major tournament) limited to around 40,000 per day Thursday to Sunday. Earlier in the week, the crowds may reach 50,000. The Waste Management Open (Phoenix) though not a major has a wildly enthusiastic crowd that totals around 800,000 for the last 5 days (Pro-Am Wednesday, tourney Thur to Sun). ---

I don’t know whether they are really Trump supporters or not, but they probably come close (_my_ prejudices are _mine_, OK?) and I don’t know where else to mention this: > **[Kentucky Noah's Ark sues insurance company over damage caused by heavy rains](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/kentucky-noahs-ark-encounter-sues-insurance-company-over-heavy-rain-damage/)** > > The Ark Encounter says rains in 2017 and 2018 caused a landslide on its access road — but it's insurance wouldn't cover the damage It made me chuckle, I forgot my thoughts, prayers, and rain dance. ---

If there’s an ‘act of God’ clause in the policy, they’re screwed. On second thought, why would anyone take out insurance for rain damage on an _ark_? ---
