  • 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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Charlie Kirk Didn’t Shy Away From Who He Was. We Shouldn’t, Either

The scary thing for the left is the government getting involved with punishing people for their speech. For a workplace to do so is their prerogative, but the governmental overreach is concerning. That nobody is allowed to criticize Kirk or face government retribution is a few steps in the wrong direction. Assassination is shocking and wrong but that doesn't make Kirk an untouchable saint.
Exactly.

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

'He's not one of us. He's one of you lot!'

No. He's not one of anyone's lot. He is one of the tiny percentage of people whom are dumb enough, immature enough, angry enough, mentally deranged enough to do someothing we all know is wrong. It's all of us on one side - you me and everyone else, and this tiny fraction of a small percent of people like him on the other.
I would love to be able to agree with you, except that I'm a realist and this sentiment does not reflect reality.

The Trump DOJ goes "woke" and will target free speech.

Many on this thread are accusing the new administration of attempting to trample over first amendment rights. I merely compared the attempting to trample of first amendments in the last administration.
You said they could have, but didn’t.

This administration has announced they will, and are doing it. You’re saying because the other administration could have done it, this administration can do it, despite the fact the previous administration didn’t do it (which you agreed).

As I said, I guess I can randomly punch somebody in the face, with the defense of “well they could have punched me. Not my fault they didn’t when I did.”

You think what that teacher does while not in the classroom is inappropriate because the next day they’re a teacher? I went to a Rocky Horror showing and the next day taught children how to bake bread. Was that inappropriate? Is there some sort of cooldown period between seeing drag and seeing children? A COVID-like quarantine we have to adhere to so we don’t spread drag?
No.

I meant as long as the drag show isn’t in front of minors, it’s fine.

Charlie Kirk Didn’t Shy Away From Who He Was. We Shouldn’t, Either

"Stephen Miller is going nuclear… “This is not fringe anymore. Tape, after tape. Federal workers, bureaucrats, educators, professors, nurses… people celebrating and cheering the assassination of Charlie Kirk! There is a domestic terrorist movement growing in this country.”
Miller has declared freedom of speech to be "a growing domestic terrorist movement." Exactly what people predicted would happen in a Trump administration. Kirk was not a very nice guy, and it's not surprising that a lot of people would say so. While his killing coincides with his break with the Trump administration on the Epstein files, there were plenty of people not involved with Epstein who didn't like him.

The killing of 31-year-old conservative activist and Trump ally Charlie Kirk has reignited attention on a long-simmering feud within elements of the far right. The differences between Kirk and the so-called "Groyper" movement led by white nationalist Nick Fuentes is again back in spotlight.
Charlie Kirk critic Nick Fuentes fantasied about marrying 16-year-old, compared Jews killed by Nazis to 'cookies baked in oven'

Regardless, in a free country, any person is entitled First Amendment protection of speech. Miller and his crew are looking to put an end to it.

The Trump DOJ goes "woke" and will target free speech.

Yes, because it didn’t happen at all, and because they’re the old administration. You are justifying actions now by saying they could have, but didn’t happen, before.

ABC pulls 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' off air 'indefinitely' over Charlie Kirk comments

You know, I believe in freedom of speech but Kimmel repeatedly spreads misinformation. He is not a political pundit. He is supposed to be a television host and comedian. People seriously need to stay in their lane. He shot him self in the foot this time.
Agreed.

Regardless, I think it’s inappropriate imo. Unless it’s for adults only and not in front of minors. Then I wouldn’t care.

Do we worship together with those who reject Jesus?

"Do we worship together with those who reject Jesus?"

No.
Christian Churches should protect the honor, dignity, and reputation of both Jesus Christ and the Church. The church represents Jesus Himself and that should be guarded. Paul asked, “What fellowship can light have with darkness?” (2 Cor 6:14; 6:15—7:1).
Unbelievers are welcome to attend Church services, but there is no spiritual unity among believers and unbelievers.
Maybe. But you must rememberGod even listens to the prayers of the unforgiven.

Radical Serge in Republican Voter Registrations Sin Carlie Kirk's Death

Again, early in the primary, Trump was hovering towards the bottom, but every time a candidate dropped, Trump had a boost. Which tells me that when people's first pick dropped out, they went for option two. I was one of them. Yes, eventually he did come out on top, only after so many people dropped.
Again, you are wrong. All of the individual results are in that link.

Trump came in 2nd in Iowa, behind Cruz. Then he came in 1st in NH, SC, and NV. By the time they got to Nevada, half the field had dropped out, but 5 candidates were still left in the running (including Trump).

On Super Tuesday, there were 11 state primaries, of which Trump won 7, came in 2nd in 3, and 3rd in 1.

After that, Carson dropped out, leaving 4 candidates.

Of the next 9 states (I'm skipping PR, Guam, DC, and VI), Trump won 5, came in 2nd in 3, and 3rd in 1.

Then came Super Tuesday #2, which still had 4 candidates. Of those 5 states, Trump won 4 and came in 2nd in the other.

Then Rubio dropped out, leaving 3.

Of the next block of 7 states - this one's a bit muddled because of some state-level quirks, but say Trump won half of them.

Then on Apr 26, 5 states in the northeast/mid-atlantic voted. Trump won all of by at least a 2:1 margin. This was with 3 candidates left. And he dominated the rest from there.
Trump was ahead of everybody from the beginning. There were a couple weeks between the Super Tuesdays when it looked like Cruz might have a chance of catching up, but that was about it.

Why should a teacher be a drag queen? In front of minors? That's flat out abuse and totally unnecessary! Period.
