Bible Belt Republicans to rule Congress, push far-right agenda
Wisconsin Gazette Progressive Alternative, Associated Press ^ | November 9, 2014 | Bill Barrow

With the walloping Republicans gave Democrats in the midterm elections, the GOP stands one Louisiana Senate runoff away from completely controlling Southern politics from the Carolinas to Texas. Only a handful of Democrats hold statewide office in the rest of the Old Confederacy.

The results put Southern Republicans at the forefront in Washington — from Senate Majority Leader-in-waiting Mitch McConnell of Kentucky to a host of new committee chairmen. Those leaders and the rank-and-file behind them will set the Capitol Hill agenda and continue molding the GOP’s identity heading into 2016....

Before we’re done with them, we’re gonna have those heathens singing, “This Little Light of Mine.”
Is it safe? Tell me little liberal—Is it safe? OK, now make a fist again and stick your thumb straight up. Now. Sing.

The Republican party was founded to destroy slavery and the party that condoned it in the south.===> the Democrat Party.

Looks like the fight in the south is pretty much won at long last.

It is a damned shame that we let the Democrat party re-enslave those people by making them dependent on government for just enough welfare cash to survive. :-(

The Democrat party's primary recruitment mantra. "Vote for us... or starve"

“They want to impose Jesus, biblical values and respect for life upon the country.”

You bet we do. Jesus, biblical values, and respect for life were always the reason our country prospered until the liberal atheists, Marxists, socialists, cults, and other assorted yahoos of the rainbow came along.

Under Obama and his administration, our country is broken, drained of its lifeblood, and dying a little more each day. The majority of citizens who voted in the last election, are hopeful our newly elected representatives and senators will give our country a much needed transfusion to restore the lifeblood lost to these vampires and heal our nation. In the meantime, we wait and pray...

It was the blood of patriots that founded our nation, but the blood of Jesus will restore our nation.

“What is a “far right” ?”

An agenda that tries to slow down, a bit, the leftward movement of just about everything in this country.

Let's see, besides typhoid Mary, who is God willing on her way out (and Hagan and Pryor and the lame duck rat Governor, AG, Auditor and Treas. of Ark, all replaced by Republicans), we have the rat AG of MS, Jim "He's gotta go" Hood. The trio of arseholes in Virginia, 2 of whom were fraudulently elected. A plethora (6) of scumsuckers in North Carolina statewide office (the last rat bastion in the state). And Bill Nelson.

Please notice how this editorial, and many others like it, use scare words to attack the representative part of our republic. Obama does this constantly as well.

What is a “far right” ?

Belief in God, silently stand when the National Anthem is being sung, marriage is an institution between one man and one woman at one time, belief that the one thing that separates the USA from the rest of the world, is the Constitution...

If you agreed with any of those radical ideas, you are FAR RIGHT.

Yes, what exactly IS this “far right agenda” they keep talking about? Not killing your babies when they’re inconvenient? Not interfering with mutually agreed exchanges? Following the rule of law as written in the Constitution? OOOHH, EEEVIL!

Not so much impose as to encourage and enable. There will always be sin and sinners.

Apparently, whomever wrote the headline considers anyone who opposes Obama to be “far-right”.
