Globalizing Homophobia, Part 1: How The American Right Came to Embrace Russia’s Anti-Gay Crackdown | Right Wing Watch

ABratts Liberal Tupelo MS Blog:

AFA spokesman Bryan Fischer declared that Russian gay "propaganda ban"was exactly the public policy we (the American Family Association Family Values Association) had been advocating"...--aka against the constitutional/human rights of the GLBT American Community.

Irony Alert: The AFA Is The Epitome Of The 'Ugliness Of Christian Activism' | Right Wing Watch

Furthermore, the AFA has succeeded in obliterating the once outstanding reputation of a once- upon- a-time All American City: Tupelo, MS, my hometown. The organization was finally listed as a Hate Group by the SPLC, and still holds that title today.--ABratt

GOP insider: Religion destroyed my party - Salon.com

Original Salon Post 8-15-12, Recent Blog Post 9-26-13

The author of this article appears to  equate the words "religious right" and "Tea Party" as synonymous or very nearly so, which, in fact, they are: The "Tupelo MS Tea Party" and the "American Family Association" are very close kin, so much so that I, a resident of Tupelo myself, have decided to include the two together as  being  a part of Tupelo MS's "Dark Side."--ABratt

I'm aware that the The Tupelo MS Daily Journal has been supportive of Common Core Educational Standards since its inception despite Glenn Beck's Dumb, Right-Wing Rant. But, of Course, the DJ is dedicated to improving education in public schools. Beck, from what I have seen, is totally lacking in the area of Public Education   --ABratt
