Spotlighting The AFA "Dark Side" Of Tupelo MS An Otherwise All American City

Spotlighting A Revised Edition of The 'Dark Side' Of Tupelo, MS.....--Al Bratton, Tupelo, 11-28-13

Open letter to 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

My comment on Huffington Post that was moderated out:

"Any other American would do time for this scheme. When are the Krotch Brothers going to do their time in the slammer? When is the real justice going to start? It will be left up to the American People. I'm ready to do my part to see these crooks put where they belong like any other crook!"--ABratt

outlandish: If it wasn’t for gerrymandering and strategic disenfranchising the Democrats

*America is rejecting party politics based on strict religious dogma, politics of exclusion, politics of fabrication of facts and politics driven by who doesn’t deserve to be given a share of the pie which is all modern Republicanism is selling.”

ni·hil·ism

 noun \ˈnī-(h)ə-ˌli-zəm, ˈnē-\

: the belief that a society's political and social institutions are so bad that they should be destroyed

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“If it wasn’t for gerrymandering and strategic disenfranchising the Democrats would have the house now and the destructive economic vandalism that came from the tea caucus wouldn’t have happened.Democrats in the house vote in 2012 received around 1.5 million more votes yet Republicans lost a few seats but kept the house.Republicans had no honest mandate and the irony is that all the seats they lost in 2012 were held by Tea Party dormice, while in what should have been close races the Tea people spiraled out of contention by being so far over the top and so ignorant of facts that they flamed out and crashed to earth. 


Yet the Tea nihilists(1) who had even less of a mandate caused more economic and political destruction than imaginable. They are nothing but scorched earth destructionists that nearly threw America of a steep, undermined and crumbling cliff over the past month and their only regret is that they didn’t succeed and in the midst of pure unfettered nihilism the old guard Republicans only managed to prove how spineless and ineffectual they are. Republicanism unless it finally tries to enter the post civil rights era is an essay in diminishing returns. 


They’ve lost all of the ethnic voters and it was only 70 years ago that blacks voted in the majority for Republicans but  beat down after beat down, they fled the party of Lincoln as it morphed into first the party of the rebel south and more recently the party of the John Birch conspiracy central, non science believing fundamentalist, literalist bible party. Hispanic are gone after being vilified and the faux post outreach program devised and rolled out soon after the 2012 election proved to be nothing but smoke and mirrors, the mirrors were shattering as Reince Priebus was laying out their new direction. 


Forget about young voters, who are far less complacent about politics than previous generations and are pushing for change that is the antithesis of all things Republican, they [young voters and old voters] want a more diverse, more cultured, more inclusive, far fairer and more egalitarian America, none of which Republicans have to offer. The Generation X and Millennial voters are much further left than their parents and further left than the Democratic Party and I wouldn’t surprise me if the 2 party system morphs into the Democratic Party middle and a workers, social democratic Party on the left but right wing extremism will fade with the end of the me first, last and only generation that is the core of the Republican base.  *America is rejecting party politics based on strict religious dogma, politics of exclusion, politics of fabrication of facts and politics driven by who doesn’t deserve to be given a share of the pie which is all modern Republicanism is selling.”

Dedicated To AFA Dark Side Tupelo MS: Rick Scarborough, TParty Leader, Suggests Class Action Lawsuit Against Homosexuality

My favorite quote from the Web I dedicate to the American Family Association's "Dark Side" Of Tupelo, MS.:--ABratt

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

Speak all you want Sir and use whatever tactics you feel are necessary, however, you will never stop the progress of freedom for all in this country. Slowly, little by little we are achieving that grand goal set forth by the Founding Fathers. Bit by bit we are becoming a nation of equality and equal opportunity for all Americans.

Sandy Rios At Values Voter Summit: Matthew Shepard's Murder Was 'A Total Fraud'

Don & Tim Wildmon's American Family Association (and their Darling, Sandy Rios) Maintain A Very "Dark Side" In Tupelo, MS, An Otherwise Decent, All American City.

Sandy Rios At Values Voter Summit: Matthew Shepard's Murder Was 'A Total Fraud'


A few of my favorite comments from the aricle:

"This woman calling herself a Christian is a fraud."


"I'm kind of glad that they openly say these sort of things at their conferences. By openly discussing their hatred and bigotry there is no mistaking by the rest of us what they are and what they represent. Anyone who attends this type of conference is tarred by the same brush."

"These speakers at this value summit are Frauds, these good loving Christians are showing what they really are HATERS"

"Yet Republicans are picking on the poorest citizens, lying and smearing them as lazy druggies and blaming them for the high unemployment by saying that $133 a month is keeping them from bothering to look for a job. Why do we put up with this?"
