  • 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.

The Foxworthy quote in the OP appears on Foxworthy's facebook page. I'd bet if he didn't write it, it would not have been allowed to stay for as long as it has. Conclusive proof? no. But more than I've seen from those claiming any other author.


I think we have winner! The quote being on his Facebook page says a lot.

Maybe now folks will stop the silliness and deal with the message. I wonder if that is one of the Alinsky tactics liberals are taught? You know....if you can't refute it then change the subject...even if it what you change it to isn't valid. :confused:

Jeff Foxworthy's take on the differences in the two parties. Funny and true.

If a Republican doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one.
If a Democrat doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.

If a Republican is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat.
If a Democrat is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.

If a Republican is homosexual, he quietly leads his life.
If a Democrat is homosexual, he demands legislated respect.

If a Republican is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation.
A Democrat wonders who is going to take care of him.

If a Republican doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels.
Democrats demand that those they don't like be shut down.

If a Republican is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church.
A Democrat non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced.

If a Republican decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it.
A Democrat demands that the rest of us pay for his.

If a Republican reads this, he'll forward it so his friends can have a good laugh.
A Democrat will delete it because he's "offended".

I forwarded it. :thumbsup:

I just asked Mr. Foxworthy whether or not he wrote the thing. If he answers, I guess we'll see.

The message has been dealt with. It's crap. I don't know anybody who has those beliefs, and I know quite a few Democrats.

More TRUTH. :thumbsup:

The Democrats' party doesn't represent Democrats. The party follows the stated agenda though individual Democrats do not adhere to it.

Just judging from actions taken at the Democrats' convention ...

Recently, while I was working in the vege beds in the front yard, my neighbors stopped to chat as they returned home from walking their dog. During our friendly conversation, I asked their little girl what she wanted to be when she grows up. She said she wanted to be President some day.

Both of her parents, liberals, were standing there, so I asked her, "If you were President what would be the first thing you would do?"

She replied... "I'd give food and houses to all the homeless people." Her parents beamed with pride.

"Wow...what a worthy goal!" I said. "But you don't have to wait until you're President to do that!" I told her.

"What do you mean?" she replied.

So I told her, "You can come over to my house and mow the lawn, pull weeds, and trim my hedge, and I'll pay you $50. Then you can go over to the grocery store where the homeless guy hangs out and give him the $50 to use toward food and a new house."

She thought that over for a few seconds, then she looked me straight in the eye and asked, "Why doesn't the homeless guy come over and do the work, and you can just pay him the $50?"

I said, "Welcome to the Republican Party."

You missed the part where you get paid $5,000 in return for having a tidy lawn, and only let a tiny fraction of that wealth trickle down to the person who does the work.

What date was it posted? I see he's saying he's new to FB. It's possible he either didn't see it, or saw it and doesn't know how to take it down.

Says nothing? A comedian, especially a well-known comedian, allows a joke/thought/declaration to remain on his facebook page and....he has nothing to do with it?


ROFL

Do you have a link to the exact quote on Foxworthy's Facebook page?

Whitestone, you've been asked for several things related to your claim that the "Republican way is intertwined with the truth". Let's review:

1. I showed evidence that FOX viewers are mostly likely to be wrong about objective truth. Your only response was to dismiss it without, apparently, even looked at the evidence.

2. I asked, twice, if you denied man-made global warming. You have ignored that so far as well.

3. You claimed that Jeff Foxworthy wrote the quote in your OP, and yet have refused to give evidence that you didn't tell a lie in your OP. In fact, it looks like you walked away from that, hoping that others would try to verify your own claim.

It would seem that any of these, not to mention all three, reflect poorly on your claim that "the Republican way is intertwined with the truth". Correct?

Well, Dad, it's entirely within the realm of possibility that one side or the other in this argument has lost all of its marbles, isn't it? Or, perhaps they're not playing with a full deck? Or, perhaps just simply out to lunch? :confused:

Be careful when throwing stones though. Just sayin ...

What Christian finds it necessary to make their signature a statement against the poor instead of glorifying God through Christ? It's very negative.

I live in New Mexico, a border state with a huge Latino population, and I know the truth about "illegals". Most of them are very hard-working people who are struggling to make a life for themselves and their families. BTW, how many of them do you think are Christians, having faith in God?

Oh. I thought maybe you were an LSU alum. :) Just kidding.


My daughter lived in McAllen, Texas. I am familiar with Mexico and the troubles they face. Yes, many are hard-working and are Christian but they are NOT Americans. They are Mexicans and cannot cross the border illegally.

The statement is not against the poor. It is a statement against illegal aliens. You should be able to see the difference.

Meh ... it's a perspective which highlights a terrible problem in this country.

I know the "truth" about illegal immigrants, too, pescador. They exist in a shadow world ... an abomination against things which are Christian.
BTW, how many of them do you think are Christians, having faith in God?
Most of them. What's your point? :confused:

1. I showed evidence that FOX viewers are mostly likely to be wrong about objective truth. Your only response was to dismiss it without, apparently, even looked at the evidence.

LOL. At times I tune in other channels just to see and....I see. Sorry Pappias you are wrong.



2. I asked, twice, if you denied man-made global warming. You have ignored that so far as well.


And I will continue to do so.



3. You claimed that Jeff Foxworthy wrote the quote in your OP, and yet have refused to give evidence that you didn't tell a lie in your OP. In fact, it looks like you walked away from that, hoping that others would try to verify your own claim.


I have no intention of chasing rabbits (or polarbears and seals). If you need the verification then look it up. I did provide a quote showing that Foxworthy is now backing Romney.

What you won't come to terms with is that it isn't about Foxworthy. It is about what the message contains. Your making it about everything but what it's about is really silly and...tiresome.

Hardly.
