  • 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.

Is it time for Donald to bow out? (MOVED)

I think Trump should:

  • Step down from the candidacy

  • Continue to run

  • Not sure at this point


Results are only viewable after voting.

And he said he has no drug addictions. Users do say that.
So how does a NON-user describe his situation to your satisfaction?

If he doesn't use, saying that will cause you to claim it's proof that he does. And if he does use, you'll say that he's admitted to it and is a user.

Blood, urine, and or hair testing.
Hair testing goes back 6 months.
Many important jobs require drug
testing just as a matter of course.

My point being, that in the video
he does not make claims about
being drug free.

I don't know if you've been around
arrogant cocaine users who sniff
and blow their nose a lot, but I have.

Crack users as well.

Since you ask, here's what I see. Yes, you generally reflect upon something relating to one of the candidates without coming right out and saying "I'm voting for X" or "We need to elect X." But the posts are so consistently one-sided that it strikes me as a little game for you to now act wronged because someone simply assumed the obvious based upon your own words. And that's all it was--a reference to your apparent preference in candidates. I don't see any reason to act like it was a big deal.
If it had been just me I wouldn't have said anything.
I believe people should be respectful, which means being straight forward and ASK not TELL others about themselves or what their position is, or they should keep their opinions to themselves. Enough said, you can have the last word.

40 Ridiculous Things Donald Trump Said:

On racism:

1. "I don't have a racist bone in my body." (YouTube)

2. “And isn’t it funny. I’ve got black accountants at Trump Castle and Trump Plaza. Black guys counting my money! I hate it,” O’Donnell recalled Trump saying. “The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day.”

On his books:

3. "I wrote The Art of the Deal, which is — I guess the biggest — I think the biggest — the biggest-selling business book of all time, and [the Iran nuclear agreement] is not the art of the deal, this is the art of a person that has no idea what he's doing." (Right Wing Watch)

On Jeb Bush:

4. "Jeb Bush likes illegals because of his wife." (Twitter, later deleted)

On Hillary Clinton:

5. "If Hillary Clinton can't satisfy her husband, what makes her think she can satisfy America?” (Twitter, later deleted)

On Hillary and Bill Clinton attending his wedding:

6. "I demanded that they be there — they had no choice and that's what's wrong with our country." (Politico)

On his religious practices:

7. "When we go in church and I drink the little wine, which is about the only wine I drink, and I eat the little cracker — I guess that's a form of asking forgiveness." (CNN)

On his critics:

8. "When I'm attacked, in a strange way, so is New York" (Washington Post)

On Ebola:

9. "The U.S. cannot allow EBOLA infected people back. People that go to far away places to help out are great — but must suffer the consequences!" (Twitter)

On his hair:

10. "What's the difference between a wet raccoon and Donald J. Trump's hair? A wet raccoon doesn't have seven billion ***-ing dollars in the bank." (Comedy Central Roast)

On himself:

11. "Sorry losers and haters, but my I.Q. is one of the highest — and you all know it! Please don't feel so stupid or insecure, it's not your fault." (Twitter)

12. "What a great honor it must be for you to honor me tonight." (Comedy Central Roast)

13. "Part of the beauty of me is that I'm very rich." (The Wall Street Journal)

14. "I am a nice person. People that know me like me. Does my family like me? I think so." (The Week)

On Ivanka:

15. "She does have a very nice figure...if [she] weren't my daughter, perhaps I'd be dating her." (Fox News)

16. "I really understand beauty. And I will tell you, she's not — I do own Miss Universe. I do own Miss USA. I mean I own a lot of different things. I do understand beauty, and she's not." (Access Hollywood)

On light bulbs:

17. "Remember, new 'environment friendly' light bulbs can cause cancer. Be careful — the idiots who came up with this stuff don't care." (Twitter)

On Nelson Mandela:

18. "What a sad thing that the memory of Nelson Mandela will be stained by the phony sign language moron who is in every picture at funeral!" (Twitter)

On Mexicans:

19. "They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people." (Washington Post)

On President Obama:

20. "If Obama resigns from office NOW, thereby doing a great service to the country — I will give him free lifetime golf at any one of my courses!" (Twitter)

21. "Obama is, without question, the WORST EVER president. I predict he will now do something really bad and totally stupid to show manhood!" (Twitter)

22. "Our great African American President hasn't exactly had a positive impact on the thugs who are so happily and openly destroying Baltimore!" (Twitter)

23. "Why is Obama playing basketball today? That is why our country is in trouble!" (Twitter)

24. "An 'extremely credible source' has called my office and told me that @barackobama's birth certificate is a fraud." (Twitter)

25. "Obama founded ISIS."

On Trump 2016:

26. "I will be the greatest jobs president that God ever created, I tell you that." (ABC News)

On war heroes:

27. "[John McCain]'s not a war hero. He was a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren't captured, okay? I hate to tell you." (Washington Post)

On wind turbines:

28. "It's Friday. How many bald eagles did wind turbines kill today? They are an environmental and aesthetic disaster." (Twitter)

On winning:

29. "If someone sc**ws you, sc**w them back." (Washington Post)

30. "To EVERYONE, including all haters and losers, HAPPY NEW YEAR. Work hard, be smart and always remember, WINNING TAKES CARE OF EVERYTHING!" (Twitter)

On women:

31. "There's nothing I love more than women, but they're really a lot different than portrayed. They are far worse than men, far more aggressive, and boy, can they be smart!" (Washington Post)

32. "All of the women on The Apprentice flirted with me — consciously or unconsciously. That's to be expected." (Esquire)

33. "You know, it doesn't really matter what [the media] write as long as you've got a young and beautiful piece of [expletive]." (Esquire)

34. I think the only difference between me and the other candidates is that I’m more honest and my women are more beautiful.”

35. “The only card [Hillary Clinton] has is the woman’s card. She’s got nothing else to offer and frankly, if Hillary Clinton were a man, I don’t think she’d get 5 percent of the vote. The only thing she’s got going is the woman’s card, and the beautiful thing is, women don’t like her.”

36. “Number one, I have great respect for women. I was the one that really broke the glass ceiling on behalf of women, more than anybody in the construction industry.”

On Greed:

37. "You can never be too greedy."

On his voters:

38. I could shoot somebody...and I wouldn't lose voters.

On the internet:

39. I don't know. What do I know about it? All I know is what's on the internet.

On Free Trade:

40. Free trade is terrible. Free trade can be wonderful if you have smart people. But we have stupid people.

And Christians here want him to be president?

Wow.
...

I don't think he's their first choice by any means. He certainly isn't mine. I was rooting for a different one during the primaries. But the fact at this point is that if we're going to cast a vote for president this time around, it is either Trump or Clinton. The question isn't which one to be want. It's about which one we'd rather have as opposed to the other. For me, I'd rather have Trump than Clinton.

I must admit to being somewhat nonplussed by this answer. You say, it's not "just me," but it was only your posts that we were discussing; and you were the only one who took offense at someone guessing at your political preference. But, oh well.

Did you read my recent post on the 40 ridiculous things Trump said?
Even by a process of elimination, Hillary is the lesser of the two evils here (clearly).

Yes, I did read it. But there are other factors to consider. The Supreme Court, if Hillary is elected, will be very much left-leaning for the rest of our generation. The SCOTUS is basically the ultimate determiner of what rights we have in this country, and she's made it very clear what her agenda is, and it is just (fundamentally transform the United States of America) Obama on steroids. We've already had 8 years of him. We don't need another 4-8 more.

A similar list has been compiled about Obama. I wonder if you have concluded that he can't walk and chew gum at the same time also.

The fact that making mistaken comments while speaking off the cuff, no matter who it is, and MAKING POLICY are two quite different things.

Clinton can't DO. Trump CAN.

Well, there is no sense of even trying to convince you after this point. If you don't get it after reading a list like that and you can't put two and two together to figure out that such such a man (with those kinds of morals) would be a huge problem for America (and even possibly causing the end of our country), then there is no use continuing our conversation on this matter, my friend.

In any event, may God's love be upon you.
And may you please be well.
I will pray that people will wake up to see just how dangerous this man really is if he were to ever be commander in chief.

There is no sense of even debating this if one were to read a list like that.

Also, I seriously doubt Obama's or Hillary's list of dumb things they said comes close to comparison to Trump's here.
For me it shows that he is immoral and clueless and cannot even respect or respond to people properly.
And you want him to do things? I would be very afraid for this country in him doing things if he was ever Commander in Chief.
I will pray that will never happen.
For I have no doubt in my mind that he could potentially be the end of our country if he ever got into office.

Those things in your list are things he said and did in his personal life. Many of them are just personal opinions that don't affect anything one way or another. But presidents, once in office, are just one cog in the machine of law-making that affects us all. So if we end up with a liberal president, and the Senate goes for the Dems, and the SCOTUS gets stocked with liberal justices, then it becomes a one-way street. As far to the left as we've already gone over the past 8 years, we certainly cannot afford it at this point to go to the extreme left.

BTW, a list of what Hillary has said and done would be a list comprised of things she has said and done while in public office, which is far more indicative of what she'd continue to do in public office--this time as president.

No. A president has to be able to make important decisions that effect our daily life. His personal life tells us the kind of person he would be in his professional life. He hasn't got a clue. His morals have not changed. Would you want Hilter to run this country? That is how Trump appears like to me. He yells just like him. He is even racist like Hitler. Trump is a bully; And for me (and my experience), nothing good ever comes from bullies. But you can see whatever you want to see.
