  • 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.

People who broke the law were charged with doing so and our liberal friends fully supported doing so. Will they be consistent and support charging those who broke the law in this case?

No, they will not. But I am sure you already know that.

Member Of Bergdahl’s Platoon Says He “Purposefully and Willfully” Abandoned Post, Caused American Lives


Since the the release of Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl there have been many questions surrounding the night of his disappearance and whether or not he was a “deserter”. On Monday’s show, a caller who identified himself as “Joshua Cornelison” and claimed to have served Bergdahl, confirmed some recent media reports and said Bergdahl did indeed “abandon his post”!

Here’s what he told Tom:
… (Bergdahl) ended up walking off our small outpost in the middle of nowhere and he purposefully and willfully left under his own conscience and will and he decided he wanted his own adventure in Afghanistan and subsequently put myself and my other 29 other platoon members in tremendous amount of harm initially. And then as all the resources got shifted in to Paktika.. he put thousands and thousands of more people in danger and there were causalities because of that …​
Later, Cornelison told Tom is was “infuriating” chasing “this ghost” around when he believe Bergdahl didn’t want to be found!

Here are some other highlights from Tom’s conversation with Joshua Cornelison:

4:24 IN – Cornelison explains why there’s no way the Taliban could have “taken” Bergdahl
7:06 IN – Cornelison says he’d ask Bergdahl why he abandoned his post, put fellow soldiers at risk
8:16 IN – Cornelison explains how they lost men as a result of Bergdahl’s desertion.

I take it you slept through your history class when they got to "Iran-Contra"?

If you are getting your history from a class then you are ignorant of history.

I LIVED through it. I voted for Reagan in 1980. I watched the whole mess live on TV. I don't need some leftwing pinhead in a class reading from a twisted history book to tell me what happened. I SAW what happened. I was living on my own, working and paying taxes when it happened. Where were you?

Now, back to this traitor Obama freed: What about the Marine jailed in Mexico? Why is HE not free?

I'll tell you why, because Obama could not advance his Gitmo policy by dealing with that issue. Obama doesn't give a crap about American servicemen. All he cares about is his leftwing extremism.

I was right there in DC. Clearly you were in a coma during that time.

Do history classes these days teach that Reagan broke the law even though he was never even charged with dong so?

I'd be willing to trade a million (even more) illegal aliens in exchange for him

We haven't seen anything yet. Over two years to go. When God created the heavens and the earth in six days, figuratively speaking of course, imagine what a Socialist Muslim can do in 30 months!

His henchman was charged then got off on a technicality.

Today you'll find the great American telling lies on Fox News.
There were several convictions as well. If Reagan was not charged, it was because there was no evidence of a crime, not hypocrisy. :wave:

I did not see any terrorists. I saw people with guns.

Is that what makes a terrorist?
Darn, my mistake. Bergdahl was being held for over five years by Taliban associated pacifist tree huggers. *throws peace sign* :)

I did not see any hippies (pacifist tree huggers as you call them) either.

Yes, I agree you made a mistake, twice.
