Mr. Joe Rutherford, Tupelo, MS Daily Journal Letters To The Editor: As a citizen of Tupelo, Mississippi, I would like to share an article  that I believe will be of interest to you and your DJ readers:

‘Safe Seats’ And The Media’s Soft Spin About Radical …

“According to press accounts, one of the universal truths about the current government shutdown is that more Republican members of the House have adopted increasingly brazen political strategies because they’re elected from safe districts.”

“Due to the growing polarization of American politics and its voting patterns (along with gerrymandering), Tea Party-aligned Republicans from deeply red districts have embraced unorthodox behavior and unprecedented strategies because local voters staunchly support them even if their agenda is unpopular nationwide. It’s that electoral freedom…”–E. Boehlert

Open Letter to Tupelo, Lee Co.  General Public, Tupelo Daily Journal Editor, Joe Rutherford:

Citizens of Tupelo and North Mississippi should be made aware of activities of  their Tupelo-based, Tim Wildmon managed, American Family Association.–Al Bratton

“The AFA is a notorious anti-gay hate group.”: A link to SPLC outlining AFA’s “Hate Group” designation.

“The problem with the claim [from the American Family Association] is that it just isn’t true. Charisma News just took the AFA as a legitimate source, which it isn’t. Religious fundamentalists believe AFA legitima[cy] simply because it tells them what they want to hear. Truth and accuracy has nothing to do with it.”

 “The Religious Right assumes certain things true. Anything substantiating these beliefs is assumed accurate and reported as such — no matter how flimsy or implausible.”…–James Peron

Tim Wildmon’s One News Now foul-mouthed columnist, Michele Malkin’s anti-Common Core rant:

He didn’t just attack “white suburban moms” and children over their criticism of the Common Core “standards”/testing/data-mining program. The feds’ top educrat also managed to insult every one of the nation’s minority families and educators who oppose Fed Ed’s threat to academic excellence, local control and student privacy.

On Friday, while defending the beleaguered Common Core program in a meeting with state school superintendents, Duncan unleashed a brazen race and class warfare attack on grassroots foes. As The Washington Post reported, Duncan sneered that he found it “fascinating” that the revolt came from “white suburban moms who — all of a sudden — their child isn’t as brilliant as they thought they were, and their school isn’t quite as good as they thought they were. As a brown-skinned suburban mom opposed to Common Core, I can tell you I’ve personally met moms and dads of all races, ethnicities, backgrounds and parts of the country over the past year who have sacrificed to get their…

“If freedom-worshipping Republicans really want to rescue the aggrieved who are being “enslaved” by Obamacare, they should organize a new underground railroad and, like their 19th-century forebears, smuggle those good folks into Canada.  Oh wait, don’t they have universal government healthcare up there?”

****************************************************************

“This is what the Republicans who follow the Texan Cruz worry about: if struggling middle-class and working-class whites (especially in the South) see the benefits of the Affordable Care Act, then the Republican Party’s southern strategy will collapse.”
