The Bonfire of the Headscarves


For Iran's protesters, the fight for women's freedom of choice is now synonymous with a desire to end rule of the ayatollahs.

With the risks these citizens are taking and the sacrifices they are making, they are proving that if any tradition needs defending 24 hours a day by armed men who have to beat people to embrace it, then it deserves to perish.

Amen to that.

The cynic in me wonders if we haven't seen the same type of "I stand with the women of Iran" social media out-poring stances as we did with the "I stand with Ukraine" social media flood the zone because the Biden Administration is looking to make a deal with the ruling elite in Iran and supporting women's freedom in Iran may hurt the money train.

The Masters and Protest

The Masters handled the woke mob better than anyone. Back when uber harpy Martha Burk threatened a protest and boycott of any advertiser who had commercials during the telecast of the 2003 Masters - they simply said, "Fine then we'll have no commercials." Golf fans loved it! And now - when's the last time you heard about Martha Burk?

The issue was about women members and quietly the club added Condi Rice as a member and the issue went away. Likewise I think quietly after this weekend you'll either see Rob Manfred forced to resign his membership in Augusta National or his membership will be rescinded. 

People should have learned from the Masters' example.
