  • 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.

Transcript of Kirk's killer's messages has been revealed

Please explain why not.
You said of Kirk's assassin that "He is one of the tiny percentage of people...". Over the last week we've seen and heard hundreds of people laughing and celebrating the murder, mocking Kirk's children, disrupting vigils and destroying memorials to Kirk, and calling for more murders of conservatives. And this is only the people stupid and evil enough to do this stuff online or IRL. There have to be lots more who feel the same way but are smart enough not to expose themselves.

This is good vs. evil. This is decent humanity vs., I don't know, the minions of Satan or something. Bob Dylan once sang "you don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind's blowing". Apparently some of you do need a weatherman.

ABC pulls Jimmy Kimmel Live after comments on Charlie Kirk

In other news. Steven Bonnell, a/k/a Destiny, has been banned from Twitch. Hasan Piker needs to be next. He and Destiny have been calling for violence against conservatives for years. Freedom of speech does not include calls for violence.
Who?

Eric Trump on Charlie Kirk’s Legacy and the Radical Left – “This Could Have Been the Greatest Mistake These People Have Ever Made” (VIDEO)

One big difference is that normal people (those who accept the sex they are born as) don't claim it as "who they are", and base their arguments and politics around it. When transsexuals engage in mass shootings and assassinations, it is based on "who they are" as transsexuals, or the partner of such people and therefore part of that group.
So a non-transsexual is a transsexual?
They target those who oppose perverted sexual lifestyles and bodily mutilations of children.
Nobody is pushing for that, though.
Frankly, I'd be fine with that. But when they come out with their rifles and start murdering innocent people, they shouldn't expect much sympathy.
It's interesting that Kirk and Trump praise violence when it's against their political opponents.

False Preachers/Teachers

There will be a variety of opinions on who is and isn't, but that's ok.

According to the Bible, a false teacher is someone who teaches doctrines that contradict the core message of the gospel and the teachings of Jesus Christ, often disguised as a genuine follower of Christ. A wolf in sheep's clothing.
A key characteristic is that their teachings do not align with the sound instructions of Jesus and the Bible. They promote a different doctrine that leads to ungodliness.
Ultimately, they are identified by their fruit and they lead people away from the truth of God and the Bible.

There are many false preachers/teachers in the world. For the well known ones, who all do you see as false teachers?

Some that come to mind for me are: Benny Hinn, Paula Cain, Ben Creamer, Joel Osteen.
According to Deuteronomy 13, the way that God instructed to determine that someone is a false prophet who is not speaking for Him is if they teach against obeying the Torah.

Another one bites the dust. It is only getting started and it will not stop until the woke leftist nonsense is pushed into obscurity, remembered only as a dark time in US history.
Hooray for right-wing censorship! Hooray!

Trump dispenses with trials, orders military strike on alleged Venezuelan drug-trafficking boat (Now up to 2, 3, 4...)

Former GOP officials fear US strikes on alleged drug smugglers aren't legal

“There has to be a line between crime and war,” said John Yoo, a former deputy assistant attorney general under President George W. Bush. “We can’t just consider anything that harms the country to be a matter for the military. Because that could potentially include every crime.”

Yoo, now a professor at the University of California Berkeley, authored the Bush administration’s legal justification for enhanced interrogation techniques against suspected al Qaeda terrorists in the early years of Bush’s war on terror.

Legal experts have called on the administration to release a formal legal opinion justifying the strikes. A Justice Department spokesperson declined to comment Monday when asked whether DOJ’s Office of Legal Counsel issued an opinion.

A senior administration official, granted anonymity to speak candidly about the administration’s view, said recently that the president thinks the politics of the matter are favorable and thus paramount to any legal quibbles from experts at think tanks, lawmakers or online commentators.

“What separates the U.S. military from a death squad is the law,” said Brian Finucane, a former State Department attorney who advised the Barack Obama and first Trump administration on legal and policy issues related to counterterrorism. “I’m very concerned that the American public does not grasp the stakes here: The President is asserting a license to kill without due process and outside the context of armed conflict.”

Taking a similar view, Ed Whelan, a clerk for the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia and deputy assistant attorney general during the George W. Bush administration, wrote in a post on X: “There is a line between legitimate acts of war (or of self-defense) and murder. It would be good for government officials to care about staying on the right side of that line.”
I keep saying: That's up to Congress and the Supreme Court to either contest or roll over.

Everyone else is just a nattering nabob of nurgatoriness.

Yeah, for one thing, there are dress codes in public schools. And drag queens wouldn't meet those codes.
And honestly who wants to put in all that work to be a drag queen every day when you’re only seen by kids.

Here’s guessing they moonlight as a drag queen, not teach class as a drag queen.

Sortition: a completely different model for democracy - representation by random selection - like a giant pool of jurors!

This thread reminds me of what the women said in Paint Your Wagon, when she is being auctioned off by her polygamous husband; she's happy to go.

"I don't know what I'll get, but I know what I have".

Our current political system could use a change.
