  • 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.

This is just so funny. All this blather about Foxworthy didn't write it and yet when I ask you why you say that with such passion your reply is:
Well it wasn't written by Napoleon either, but I'll have a hard time finding evidence to back that up. Foxworthy wouldn't write anything so politically biased and sophomoric. If he wrote a list like that, it would be funny to both parties. He's a pretty good comedian, although apparently not too well versed in politics.


LOL. You think Foxworthy didn't write it because you think Foxworthy didn't write it. Priceless admission of a liberal mind.

Remember, I provided the ABC article stating that Foxworthy, who usually doesn't take part in political things, has backed Romney and is being vocal about it.

Many of us knew this wasn't Foxworthy's just through years of experience with bad chain emails and some common sense. Couldn't help but notice that you seemed to have enjoyed yourself poking fun at me with the post above. Okay, now that it's been proven to you that it wasn't written by Foxworthy, what say you?

If Redac were no where near a cliff and the danger existed only in the mind of the person yelling, it certainly would not have to be taken seriously.


I see. So because you were unable to see the danger that another saw you would simply think....there is no danger? Don't worry Redac, it's just a Republican seeing those things. And you know everything Republicans see isn't true even when it has nothing to do with being Republican.

Clearly you must be forgetting 9/11 and the ensuing problems we face with Islam. Clearly you must not have turned the news on for the past few weeks...you know where our Ambassador was brutally killed and our embassies burned. You know, those "bumps in the road," as our President terms them where twelve American embassies are under attack:

Nothing to see here Redac, move to the back of the bus and don't be worried that it's filled with guys with funny looking packs strapped around their middle.

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:



Brilliant Author is Unknown but it sure isn't Jeff Foxworthy. ^_^

If a man is anti-gun, vegetarian, atheist, jobless, has no healthcare, pro-censorship(?), and voting for Republicans....he may well be brainless.

Just another demeaning comment aimed at the 69,456,897 "victims" who are dependent on government and “unwilling to take responsibility for their lives” that voted Democratic in the last election.

A quick Google search shows Dish Network channel 212 to be Glenn Beck TV.
Using 'Beck' and 'informative' in the same sentence is a contradiction. Anyway, thanks for warning us that this was the Beck channel instead of a reliable news source.

Nah.
Demeaning - "to lower in character, status, or reputation."

Truth - "sincerity in action, character, and utterance."
You say demeaning....I say true meaning.

My first thought was that Foxworthy was too nice a guy to openly insult people in such a political manner. He tends to be more self-defecating than insulting to others.

I'm not sure if you were trying humor or just made a mistake but the word is....self-deprecating.

Clearly you must be forgetting 9/11...

Since you're clearly trolling here, I'm just going to repond to this little bit.

Tue. the 11th I watched, as I have for the last 4 years, MSNBC reairing of NBCs live coverage of 9/11.

I do that to relive what I did on 9/11, watched for 6 hours straight as it happened. I'd have watched all day, but I'd worked the previous Monday night and had to return to my job as a security guard Tuesday evening.

Don't you tell me what I remember or forget, and don't you ever say such a thing to anyone you do not know.

How can people be so biased that they won't even look at the information being presented. This is information that will control our future and you won't even look at it because it is Glen Beck's channel.

Look how fast things can change - Obama had a role in pulling the rug out from under Egypt's president making room for Muslim Brotherhood and now Egypt is an Islamic state with sharia law. That doesn't bother you?

Another point - all that Glenn Beck predicted as coming forth has happened - how can you say that what he says is made up.

I can't watch videos (computer problem) but wanted to comment on Egypt.

The Arab Spring was a popular uprising - no-one foresaw it. It was due to a number of factors, and in Egypt in particular was a response to both political and economic factors. The economy there was stilted - a few at the top held the wealth, and a huge percentage of Egyptians were spending about half their income on food (commodities became the harbor of investors following the global collapse). Mubarak was our guy - like many autocrats, he was supported by the US, and was known to have tortured and worse countless people who were suspected of opposing his rule. The resentment against the US throughout the middle east is to our meddling and control among people who desire self-determination.

If we believe in our own self-determination and democracy, then to not also support the same for other nations is inconsistent. I may not agree with the Muslim Brotherhood's stance, but they were democratically elected.

And how Obama had a hand in overthrowing Mubarak is beyond me -- perhaps it can be explained.

Um, I have watched and listened to Beck enough to know he is full of crap. If he produced or promotes it, it is most likely garbage.

It may control your future, not mine.

No, it does not bother me.

What has he predicted? Please cite facts and figures

If I were to listen to the conservatives, then my marriage has became meaningless because of gays, the military would have fallen apart because of the gays, we are under a communist/socialist/fascist dictatorship because of Obama while living under Sharia law because of those Muslims who built that community center in NY and the terrorists. Excuse me if I don't get bothered by the scare tactics employed by the conservatives.

Yeah, right. :doh:

Why does it bother you?

Go on, give us specifics - exactly what has he predicted, and in what way have his predictions come true?

To each his own - but I don't know how you will live in a bubble when the laws come down that are not right for the US - but whatever.

Why do you continue to believe that that will come to happen?
