  • 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.

When in doubt resort to ad hominem because you want to avoid actually avoid discussing the treasonous statements of the current American president. Trying to derail the topic by attacking those who rightfully point to a groveling Trump is hilarious. Carry on.

I keep seeing that term, but what did he say that was actually treasonous?

treason

  1. the offense of acting to overthrow one's government or to harm or kill its sovereign.
  2. a violation of allegiance to one's sovereign or to one's state.
  3. the betrayal of a trust or confidence; breach of faith; treachery.
Trusting Putin over our own intelligence agencies could fall under number 2.

That's really stretching it.

Maybe. But you asked.

Sounds like the far left is just screeching incoherently again. If they said he looked weak or foolish, I could understand that. Instead they sound like they're cribbing notes from the Conservative outrage over the Dixie Chicks

Imagine that you are one of the agents that made the connection, and you had what you believe to be solid evidence. Would you consider your complaints to be screeching incoherently?

Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats underscored the intelligence community's assessment that Russia meddled in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, countering his boss, President Donald Trump.

"The role of the Intelligence Community is to provide the best information and fact-based assessments possible for the President and policymakers," Coats said in a statement. "We have been clear in our assessments of Russian meddling in the 2016 election and their ongoing, pervasive efforts to undermine our democracy, and we will continue to provide unvarnished and objective intelligence in support of our national security."

Coats' statement came hours after Trump stood next to Vladimir Putin at a news conference in Helsinki and accepted the Russian president's denials that his country had interfered in the U.S. election.​

Are they calling it treason?

So McCain, Ryan, McConnell, the drudge report, Jeff Flake, Orrin Hatch are far left?

Did they call it treason? Also, no McCain is a Neo-Con who wants to start as many wars as possible.

Well, folks here have told me that the Bush presidents & Senator McCain aren't "real Republicans" on account of them not having voted for Trump. So, from that it appears that some folks think that anybody who isn't on the side of kissing Trump's tush unquestioningly is therefore on the far left, lol.
