  • 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.

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

Drag queen shows for children are seen by the radical left as exposing children to the real world, whereas many people see that as sexually grooming the kids.
As someone who worked with "groomers", it's not grooming kids.

I've only seen one drag event at our library...it's not really my thing though I don't care about others doing it (in the same way I don't LARP or go to Ren faires)

What depravity did I see?
A man dressed garishly as a woman, reading a book about colours to some children.

I have always been very VERY curious. What are the PRECISE behaviours that are considered "grooming" in this context?

a) Just talking about it at all?
b) Normalizing it?
c) Encouraging it?
d) Are they raping or abusing kids at these events?
e) Are parents endangering their kids by going to these events? BEcause unfortunately, statistically libraries are way way way way way safer than churches.
So be careful...

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

I mean, except for the justification that it didn’t happen, which is a pretty big and important one.
Technically speaking then what the right’s DOJ is being accused of has not happened yet either. Just in time fallacies permeate this forum anyway.

I don’t care about irrelevant Facebook posts she made. I care about her sworn testimony to investigators. Are you calling her a liar about what she told investigators?
Fundamentally, the only statements of fact that she made (at least as reported by Fox in the article you linked) are that he started caring more about gay and trans rights, that he expressed a strong dislike of Kirk, and that he fought with his father over political disagreements. Her claim that this made him "left-leaning" is her opinion.

How can she be called a liar? There would be no basis for it. People would need to know if her FB posts are congruent with her testimony.

But what CAN be stated, are facts.

I’m not defending today’s DOJ but merely pointing out the way the the old DOJ was heading. There is no justification.

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

The Bostok vs Clayton County, Ga. decision opened the door for continued litigation regarding civil penalties for misgendering someone. Many companies use this decision to develop hr policies and arbitrarily fire people for this. Although it begins as a civil penalty there are arguments to add it to a hate enhancement for crimes therefore jumping into the criminal arena. Under a far liberal DOJ the chances increase dramatically that it would become criminal. See England as an example.
Merrick Garland didn't go after Crocodile Dundee.

How is the Economy Doing Right Now?

It seems like there haven't been many pointed discussions about the economy down in the US right now.
Seems that the DOW continues to improve.
Unemployment is at BEST, underwhelming.
The inflation on foods is becoming quite untenable for many.
Farming, as an American industry is on the brink of complete disaster (if we are to believe American farmers)

But I don't live there.

What are you passionate about here? What are the really GREAT things you see happenning? What are the troubling things?

I'm curious.

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


Perhaps you understand Tyler Robinson better than his own mother and father???
I never implied that. She said that they were conservatives but he had been "leaning left".
My politics shows that I am a left leaning Democrat. I am also totally in line with my Catholic Church's teaching.

Most conservatives that I have talked to on this forum claim that I am far left, showing those people are ignorant of political issues.

Cribbed from another thread: Deputy AG threatens RICO investigations for people who organize to yell at Trump:
Up next, the announcement of the administration’s strict enforcement of the “I’m rubber, you are glue” statute. Everybody will have to sit on the tarmac and think about they said until recess is over.

6,000 Years?

"According to the biblical account, death entered the world as a direct consequence of Adam's disobedience to God's command not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. God had warned Adam that on the day he ate from the forbidden tree, he would surely die.

"This death is understood to encompass both physical death, the cessation of life, and spiritual death, a separation from God. The immediate consequence of Adam's sin was that he and Eve were banished from the Garden of Eden, and the process of physical decay and death began for them and all humanity.
That is man's revision of God's word. God says that the death will happen that day. Yet Adam lives on physically for many years thereafter. That being so, we know that the death God was speaking of was not a physical one.

"Process of physical decay and death began for them and all humanity" is a modern addition from people who were not satisfied with God's word as it is.

She took down the facebook stuff about his love of guns and other things. So we're getting a revised version now. I'm thinking the stuff she was posting before he shot Kirk is more persuasive.
wat?

You just cut and pasted a bunch of opinions. You might as well just be honest and say “what I reckon is…….”. And pass that off as evidence.

Smh
Those are not opinions but valid criticisms.

Sen. Schmitt at National Conservatism Conference 5: What Is an American?

The article is long and revealing of the mindset. Worth reading in its entirety.
Regardless of one's stance on the ideology, it is clear that he has defined modern-day conservatism effectively. As a long-standing conservative, I find myself at odds with nearly all of his statements, which leads me to conclude that individuals like myself no longer have a place in today's Republican Party.

What is particularly surprising is that he and others who hold this viewpoint demonstrate a clear disregard for basic arithmetic, such as the fact that 2+2=4. In a previous discussion, I mentioned that by the 2032 presidential election, only 56% of the electorate is projected to be white. Is it reasonable to expect that focusing on restoring Irish-Scottish heritage would attract Hispanic or African American voters to support the GOP? Is it reasonable to expect that discussing the revival of 14th-century European culture would persuade Arab-American, Muslim-American, Asian-American, and young voters from biracial families to reconsider their stance and support the GOP?
