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.

What the Left Calls Voting Rights Cheapens Your Vote

Stacy Abrams was in an interview recently where she was confronted with her rhetoric about Georgia bill SB202 and how it would suppress votes and how under the provisions of SB202 Georgia has had record early voting totals. She stated, as only an ideologue can, that one can have voter suppression and yet still have record voting. The logic of the left wing ideologue is truly baffling. At times I think it is only sustained by putting ones fingers in your ears and shouting platitudes over any reasonable counterargument.NPR ran a story just the other day comparing Trump and Harris on “voting rights.” It is a fascinating look at the perverse way in which the left uses this term.
To believe this article, and indeed from much else from the left or from the Harris campaign itself, is to imagine that Trump’s position is one designed entirely to keep some significant number of people from voting, while Harris advocates merely for preventing evil conservatives from robbing some portion of the electorate (non-white, of course) of the sacred right to the franchise.
Of course this is not the story at all.
What the left wants is total federal control over the voting requirements and processes of each state. There is no evidence at all that any state currently discriminates against potential voters on the basis of race. The left nevertheless insists that granting any amount of local autonomy over the voting process means that a given state might be engaged in such discrimination. What they really mean, however, is that some localities may not follow the left’s dictates on voting, which involve eliminating serious efforts to prevent ineligible people from voting and making the voting as simple as mailing a postcard.
The fundamental question that is never addressed is this: Why should voting be as easy as possible?
We consider voting important, do we not? It may even be the most important responsibility of a citizen in a free society. It is certainly a far more important part of citizenship than passing an exam in school, or getting a driver’s license, or obtaining a hunting permit, no?

John Fetterman Tells Joe Rogan: ‘Immigration Has Remade Texas,’ and That’s a Good Thing

UNREGULATED MASS ILLEGAL immigration has remade Pennsylvania, too. It's not a good thing in either state. Fetterman is an apparatchik.Immigration is remaking the nation, and that is a good thing, Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) told media host Joe Rogan on Saturday.
“Undeniably, immigration is changing our nation,” Fetterman told Rogan, adding:
Many Democrats hope and expect the rising number of poor Latino voters in Texas will turn the state blue, thus giving Democrats a lock on presidential elections for many years.
Fetterman’s admission came two days after Sen. JD Vance said migration is turning the democratically run states into one-party governments. “I’m a conservative Republican,” Vance told Rogan, adding, “Because of what Ronald Reagan did in the 1986 amnesty, California is now effectively a permanently blue state.”

Effects on schools 20+% increased demand on taxpayer-funded school resources in ESL classes alone.
Effects requiring legislative changes in Pennsylvania's social institutions (business, medical, welfare, legal, etc.).
Example of propaganda in Pennsylvania ("undocumented" immigrants are not included in the report. According to the Migration Policy Institute 30% of PA's illegal immigration population has a college degree but according to the Migration Policy Institute and the Center for Migration Studies indicates that 69 percent of illegal immigrants have no education beyond high school, 13 percent have some college, and 18 percent have at least a bachelor's - so, apparently Pennsylvania got the all of the best of the those who immigrate to the US illegally, which means other states, like Texas, gets the bottom of the education ranks......., or the Pennsylvania data from the American Immigration Council is selective and thereby deceitful).
Effects on State resources. All immigrants are said to bring $4 billion into the state coffers but when only immigrants residing in PA who have entered the country illegally are measured the numbers show a $728 million loss per year. Schools, crime, property taxes, and tax resources that would otherwise go to legally residing constituents of Fetterman are all adversely affected.
Effects on the Electorate. Pennsylvania has been registering non-citizen immigrants to the voting rolls for ten years.
Effects of porous border due to Fentanyl. 300% increase of overdoses in last decade; 8)5 due to fentanyl.
Fetterman is an apparatchik who is more interested in towing the party line than representing his constituents.
