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.
