• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

Death panels...'Socialism!' echo chamber...government bureaucrats....

Republicans want to get rid of old peoples medical care, republicans hate the poor, republicans want to lynch blacks....

Who was lying about whom?

Pretty clearly both sides.

Wishing people dead. Very 'tolerant' of you. :doh:

I know, the old conservative meme. Intolerance of intolerance is worse than plain old intolerance. Fact is Dan Coats is much older than his last opponent and in all probability likely to die sooner, at which time maybe we can elect a nominee in the primary instead of having one hand-picked for us by blue dog ConservaDems. Indiana is every much a swing-state as Ohio or Pennsylvania despite the assumption by Republicans that it is a given. We voted for Obama and until this election had more congressional seats held by Democrats than Republicans, and of the top 10 cities 8 have Democratic mayors. We need candidates who can motivate that base again. At the time of Coats' death maybe then Governor Weinzapfel will decide to run and we won't have to sacrifice a house seat.

Ya, its that Progressive ends - means philosophy. If you old and ineffective, hurry up and die so we can get someone else in there to nationalize everything and bring about our vision of a New World Utopia.
