  • 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.

You asked me to provide information on two very large questions, and therefore I had to honor that request with the appropriate response. Now you're not even going to read through the rest of my links to form an opinion?

It's not simply a matter of "not liking" certain events; it's a matter of lack of oversight and power gone way out of control that may affect all of our lives, including many Christians who do not toe the hard right line.

I have not written this information, so I could not have "exagerrated" anything. Why not open your mind and read through the information, so you can decide for yourself. Or, as another very conservative religious poster in another thread complained, are you refusing to read the material because it might "poison" your mind against your faith?
The first link did not risr to the level of promoting a dictatorship or a theocracy so there was no point wasting my time reading the rest. It's as simple as that. If you have something more substantial, please post it.

Simply amazing how you focus your outrage on something Jane Fonda did forty years ago
For some of us, it's as though what she did happened only yesterday. What was that phrase John Kerry used? It's seared in our memories

yet support the administration that allows our soldiers to die on a daily basis simply because it does not with to admit a mistake.
I don't support the administration doing that. I do however support the administration for doing the right thing and holding firm in the face of adversity and lies

Jane Fonda is still a name not mentioned in the ranks of the military, at least when I was in.
You don't travel to entertain the enemy, dance on a crashed American aircraft, and all the other stuff she did 40 years ago, and be forgotten.

I just yesterday stayed out of the room, becasue my family watched "monster in law".

Benedict Arnold is a name we remember, how many years ago was he a traitor to his country?

As I recall, Kerry was wrong. Are you saying your recollection is skewed?
Whether he was right or wrong (wrong being a euphemism for lying) is irrelevant. Rather the phrase is appropriate for this circumstance.

Why dont you ever answer direct questions? You throw out a well known quote by Kerry that turned out to be wrong, and you use it to describe one of your own recollections. One must conclude that your memory is equally as wrong.

Jesus did teach us to forgive others....

unfortunately some don't heed the words.

I just stated that the phrase, while inappropriate in Kerry's case, is appropriate in this one. Please try not to twist my comments to your own liking.

Then you admit your memory is unclear, gotcha :thumbsup:

and on top of it, you throw out an unprovoked jab at Kerry.

I see, the Spin Starts Here (from you) twisting whatever I say :wave: So I'll rephrase it. The memory of what Fonda did in Viet Nam is burned into the memories of many veterans, such as myself, and other good Americans as well.

and on top of it, you throw out an unprovoked jab at Kerry.
Kerry has provoked whatever jabs come his way

That's a similar answer for example, given by Mr. Cheney, when asked about the criticism of the progress of the war in Iraq: "Hogwash", or a sentiment amounting to "I'm right, and you're wrong". That kind of response has no basis in logic or reason; it just is. Again, given the size of questions requiring proof that you asked me, I provided you the appropriate response, and you rejected it based on only looking at one link. It's like turning off your hearing aid deliberately because you don't want to listen to the response you don't want to hear after asking the question.

It's more like I didn't read the links because the first one answered a question I didn't ask while not answering the question I did ask. I'm certain the other links followed suit, so there was no point wasting my time. If you have a link that does prove that your point about dictatorships and theocracies, please post it. Otherwise, your point remains merely an opinion based on misinformation

How do you know if you don't make the effort to read the information, that you are "certain" it's all the same? It's not.

You basically said that you read the first one, didn't like it, and decided not to read the remaining. Or, the only other recourse is to just say that every point I try to clarify to you is all mistruths, because you are closing your mind to them. My crazy ex mother in law, when presented with a discussion she didn't like, used to put her fingers in ears and sing, to put a stop to the discussion.

Okay, so should I just give up on anyone providing any evidence what-so-ever on Kerry and Khatami?
Yes, you should since the discussion is not about Kerry and Khatami. Maybe you posted it in the wrong thread.

Uh, yes it is, at least partially. Read the first page of the thread, where it is suggested that John Kerry be named the enemy of the week, and then a link to a blog is presented that claimed Khatami bankrolls terrorist.

You were, in fact the person who asked for the clip.

I've asked several times for evidence to back this up, or to be presented with what exactly makes Kerry's talk at the economic forum traitorous, and have been so far presented with nothing.

Nobody called Kerry a traitor and the Enemy of the Week is not about traitors exclusively. Only Jane Fonda has been so named, as a traitor, as far as I recall.

It's nice that the Hannitys and O'Reillys and Frankens are taking the time to identify people wholly with one or two of their actions, and to use labels with maximum emotional impact. We consumers just don't have the capacity to deal dispassionately with discrete facts.

As we have seen, purely emotional arguments are the backbone of rational political discourse. Thus, we need to be told who we should be mad at, not what we should disagree with.

You cannot give Reputation to the same post twice.

I tried, Teddy, but I couldnt get you more reps. great post nonetheless.

If Obama is offended by it, then it makes Rush insensitive, but it is hardly on par with the borderline treasonous statements made by Kerry.


Also the link provided by the person in the above quote made claims to Kerry being a traitor.

You also stated that he should be named enemy of the week.
