Republican Faith (the artist formerly known as Baptists for Brownback) is ... well, one of the most scary places on the interwebs (probably worse than Stormfront - while the latter are better regimented, they can't quite manage the sheer off-handed horror of U.S.E and the like).
Of course, the above statement is subject to whether or not it is actually a parody. It almost certainly is, and an an atrociously bad one at that.

[edit] What does it do?
- Dangerously exact and convenient messages from madeup[1] Archangels telling Pastor Maker to break laws, incite hatred, etc[2]. God also apparently has an intimate hand in promoting the Republican cause[3].
- Recommend that the poor and homeless be poisoned[4].
- Advocate the vigilante murder of those deemed not 'Christian (Republican Baptist) [the only type they believe are 'True Christians'][5]
- Recommend the ghettoisation and forced wearing of an identifying symbol for all whom they disagree with or fear[6](hang on, someone else had that idea ...), although there is a priority dispute for this between them and Richard Dawkins.
Feel free to add more - every single post contains lulz and horror in equal measure
[edit] Parody
Is it? Well, Peter, is it? Is it really? We can't tell. There is definitely a mix of people - Brother Mcgregor and Brother Whodat seem particularly suspect ...There is a lot of tongue-in-cheek banter, but it can turn hostile in seconds. It's still just not clear enough.
[edit] Popularity
Republican Faith's popularity has grown alarmingly of late. This is not, as they would like you to think, because their message is being taken onboard; but rather, as one contributor charmingly points out, because they 'link-whore' other media with offensive post; joe.my.god, well-known science blogs, and also various paintballing forums (?). This generates a wave of single comment types whose response is either 'LOL WUT?', 'is this psrodt?', or 'you lot are *UNchristian words removed*. Some users long for the days in which it was just themselves and an elite troll squad up against the 'Baptist' legions.

- Mrs. T.D. Gaines-Crockett—Main contributor, and 'Biblical Authoritarian', and 'Humanitarian'.
- Tobin Maker--Resident Pastor, occasional contributor
- Brother McGregor-- Scottish zealot, and convert. Or is he? He is probably one of the more popular contributors. Rumor has it that he fled and changed his name. His conversion came about on the "Sissification of Seattle" blog, which was designed to outrage kilt wearers. He seems pious enough, but there is a sense of mischief about this good brother. Brother McGregor was the odd man out, at times very gentle and genuinely concerned and then at other times displaying an almost schizophrenic change in behavior. This "character" is genuinely one of the more interesting people at Baptists for Republican Government.[7]
