  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Buchanan had a defensible position, not regarding slavery but as to whether he was a) obligated to go to war with the south and b) whether or not he could reasonably wage a just war. a) is a matter of law enforcement, so, this is possibly a weak argument. b) is much stronger, especially given...

Notre Dame... The problem with the situation is that Obama was invited to speak in the first place. Now, President Obama has made his argument for abortion before you graduating class. "It's a hard choice for them," is like a chant used to ignore all those who the industry ignores and snubs...

I'm not surprised by the Prime Minister's reactions to pressure on it regarding Palestine, or, at least, perceived pressure. He/they don't currently have a plan... he seems to have pointed this out. There is a barrier of having the Palestinians cease militant action and/or hatred, but also of...

So, I'm thinking about Obama, Ginsburg, Roe v. Wade, and the Supreme Court of the US. The problem, here, is that I know that the court would like to rework Roe, for better or worse, anyway. The legals aren't tight and the decision is old. The states need to push to get the rework done, or it...
