  • 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.

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

...They can begin then by resisting the cartels. That will make them less like Central and Southern American government styles.
The best way to resist the cartels would be to stop buying illegal drugs from them and stop selling them guns and ammunition. It's not as though the cartels are putting guns to the heads of Americans forcing them to take the illegal drugs, but Americans seek out the dealers, give them money and voluntarily consume the drugs.

The Criminal Records of the illegal immigrants arrested in LA

You know what you insinuated.
I swear to you, if I would have meant to say illegal force I would have done so. You're trying to create a strawman.
I guess all undercover cops fit your “behaving” criteria.
I guess you're not great at making comparisons.

Deal with what? Illegal immigrants? Criminals?
ICE agents being unable and/or to deal with their faces and badge numbers being shown. That is not a police force.

“You don’t arrest 58-year-old grandmothers,” her husband said. But she passed a bad $25 check ten years ago, so adios! er... Slán leat!

Passing bad checks is illegal and a gateway crime to human trafficking and murder.
Really? I passed a bad check once when I was younger and it was the bank’s fault not mine. Am I now a hardened criminal?

The narco cartels are responsible for the deaths of literally hundreds of thousands of Americans. But you want to give them a trial???????
Execute the Sackler family! They are responsible for the tremendous rise of opioid addiction in the US. Then, after thousands of Americans became addicted, the government cut them off cold turkey upon which way too many turned to street drugs.

ICE Launches Operation Midway Blitz in Honor of Katie Abraham to Target Criminal Illegal Aliens Terrorizing Americans in Sanctuary Illinois

Incorrect. A lot of people in L.A. speak Spanish, but that's different than someone who does not speak English. If you want to capture illegals you go to places like day labor jobs where they don't require paperwork, and if a person doesn't speak any English that is enough to check their nationality and immigration status.
Why should they answer any questions if there’s no warrant for them?

I don't htink I said illegal...I said "behaving".
You know what you insinuated.
Not having badge numbers or names and hiding their faces.

Not really interested in a "well that's because..." answer. That doesn't make it legal. Police officers have had to deal with that always....why can't ICE?

Cues include inability to speak English and working some job where they are being paid cash under the table.
And “I work for cash under the table” is stamped on their forehead? With Canada next door where most speak English, it seems like that isn’t an exactly reliable gauge.

It seems again the word they’re using is “illegals” but what they’re targeting is a skin color and nationality. So, sanctioned ethic and racial persecution. Very Germany circa 1930s.

What a crock. This person is not a criminal and is here legally. So much for deporting only hardened, illegal immigrant criminals. :doh:

Correct. But do you know how much the boat was carrying? Do you know that it was carrying any narcotics at all?

No. You don't. And you probably never will.

Well it was clearly carrying a lot of illegal narcotics for it to sink so quickly.

Judge's 'promise' let career criminal walk free to butcher Ukrainian refugee after his MOM said he should be locked up

My point is that liberal judges allowing a 14 time arrest offender out and that person then kills someone. My other point, as others have noted, is that if the races were reversed, the left would have had a cow!
Are you suggesting that we jail people for the crimes that they might commit someday in the future? They made a movie about how badly that turns out - and that was even with precogs.

WE ARE AT WAR! Trump approves military action against Latin American cartels classified as terrorist organizations.

I've read and heard people lie about Floyd not being murdered. They make all kinds of lies. Someone actually claimed, that they could be in a choke hole for 8 plus minutes. And be fine.

Would you mind sharing exactly, what percentage of the 100s of illegal immigrants, pouring daily into our country, would be an acceptable amount of those committing heinous crimes, “before“ you feel it would be justified for action to be taken? Maybe 50%, 60% or 75%? What type of heinous crimes do you deem unacceptable/acceptable? What part of “illegal immigrants” …?

Good grief …
There are already criminals among you. Why deal with criminals differently?
Leviticus 19:33-34
Zechariah 7:9
Matthew 25:35
Leviticus 24:22

The argument is that you should welcome all foreigners. No, before you get silly, obviously the Bible does not say to allow foreigners to commit crimes against you.
When they commit crimes there is no suggestion to not deal with that.
You don't need to terrorize the families by arresting people after they come out of immigration hearings. That doesn't HAVE TO be done.


Tongue-in-cheek alert:
Why don’t you head to L.A. and invite some of these poor mistreated, upright, outstanding human beings to dinner and give them a tour of your house? Let them know they have a place to crash until they can get on their feet and eventually become model citizens. You know. Lead by example ample …

You're the richest country in the world and the richest people have convinced too many of the middlest Americans that the poorest Americans are their real enemy.

What are you currently listening to?

Have you heard this version of Queen Jane?

Not for some time and I love this music. I like his early stuff the best. I like how he transitions from folk hillbilly to blues/folk rock and gospel. Always wanting to reinvent himself.

I can hear a bit of the bands influence with the piano as well. I think he started jaming with them around the same time.

How ought a Christian exercise political power in this world?

Some Christian are elected to high office or appointed to it. How should they exercise the power that they receive?
In a nutshell, that's the field of Caesar. Humans can make a living through serving Caesar. You serve both to the same extent though. God should be above all. Christians are the citizens of God's kingdom on earth (the one in the midst of us). Your citizenship to a country (belongs to a Caesar) is virtual.
