Join the Fight in
Georgia
Republicans David Perdue and Kelly
Loeffler are fighting to keep their Senate seats in the
Georgia runoff elections on January 5. The GOP majority in the Senate
depends on their success. If Republicans hold 52 seats in the Senate,
the Senate could put a brake on radical Joe Biden
administration personnel nominations and on “progressive” legislation
coming out of the Democrat-controlled House.
Jonathan Tobin describes what
will happen if these Republican fighters lose:
Unified control of the government—and specifically, control of
the Senate—will potentially enable the Democrats to tick off a number
of ideas on the “To Do” list of their grassroots activists. That would
include abolishing the filibuster for legislation, expanding the
number of justices on the US Supreme Court so as to pack it with
liberals, admitting the District of Columbia and maybe even Puerto
Rico as states so as to increase the number of Democratic senators and
passing radical proposals like the “Green New Deal.”
That means that the outcome of the two Senate races will
arguably determine whether or not the US government is fundamentally
transformed. By contrast, if either or both of the Republicans win,
the GOP will retain its Senate majority, and Americans will once again
have divided government. That will mean that both parties will be
forced to compromise to accomplish anything or, as is just as if not
more likely, the increasingly bitter partisan deadlock will ensure
that nothing gets done at all.
Perdue and Loeffler are being challenged by leftist idealogues
Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock,
respectively.
Ossoff has welcomed the endorsement and support of socialist
Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT), an indicator of where
he falls on the political spectrum.
Warnock has a long history of radical statements and actions.
Henry Olsen, writing at the Washington Post,
describes
him this way:
He genuinely believes that America is a fallen, corrupt
nation, befouled by racism and besmirched by capitalism. He makes that
crystal clear in his 2013 book, “The Divided Mind of the Black
Church,” in which he praises Marxism and castigates “white
capitalistic forces.” That’s the common thread that holds his writings
and his sermons together, and no degree of eloquence or number of cute
ads can disguise that fact.
One sees this most clearly in how he speaks about the man he
labels as his mentor, the late James Hal Cone. Cone
was a controversial Black theologian who labeled White Christians as
racist and White Christianity as “the Antichrist” — that is, an evil
ruler who corrupts the world.
