  • 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 this really a party Democrats want to follow?

I would love to see some mature grown-ups with real platforms run under both the Democratic and the Republican parties. They are both behaving like a bunch of junior high school students with almost no impulse control and very little to say but slinging mud. If they had well-founded, well-researched platforms that represented a decent percent of Americans, I believe they would spend their time and money promoting that rather than playing name-calling, nasty games.

Our government has been going downhill my entire life and I am sure it started long before I was born. Surely there are mature grown-ups with sound ideas that are not 75 + years old that want to be in high-level politics? I can dream anyway.
It would seem that we have to get through the final finale of The Apprentice, first.

I don't either. Primarily because there's no such thing as the "Missouri 'Democrat' Party".
Also, you might want to refresh your familiarity with this rule.

For about a decade the dems have been "acting like high school students" with little or no complaints from the bleechers. The press has cheered them on. Now... suddenly, when their guy is in the crosshairs, we get calls for maturity and calm.
"Lets be reasonable"
"Lets call a truce..."
"Its a witch-hunt!!!"

Right... I see Dave marching undaunted to disconnect "HAL."
I don't think he is listening to HAL's pleading.
"Stop Dave... what do you think you are doing Dave?"
Dave wants his pound of flesh. I doubt you will be able to talk him out of it.
Time to face the music HAL.

That's not the perception among most Democrats. "Our guy" is not really in the crosshairs. Republican attacks on Biden are mostly politically motivated and lack substance, and it's pretty obvious to most of us that's the case. It's hard to be upset over what is ultimately unreal.

Joe Biden (The Big Guy) is directly tied to his sons business deals in pay to play, if you watch the liberal democratic media it's not reported, because it's about protect the Bidens criminal activity to maintain the false narrative

How can Christian's support both? This guy is worshipping Trump. I would be irritated, that I have to see this eye sore So, I would turn it into my HOA, since it makes the neighborhood look ugly. I would do the same thing, if a democrat was doing the same thing. One sign is enough. The person turned his house into trash. I don't agree with people worshiping Trump. That's what this person is doing. No, I don't agree with anyone wanting to burn a home down.

Clara Peller rocket to late-in-life stardom with her “where’s the beef?” line from the Burger King ad in the late 1980s and George HW Bush used it campaigning in 1988 and it’s still relevant today…lot’s accusations very thin “evidence”.

if you watch the liberal democratic media it's not reported, because it's about protect the Bidens criminal activity to maintain the false narrative
“Democratic media”?

There’s a “free-marketplace-of-ideas” that sorta forms a consensus of the direction we’re traveling in but the closest we have to a “party-owned” media-arm is GOP/Fox News.

Calling for houses to be burned down of the other side is merely "inappropriate " ?
And I'm going to call out both the Tweet and the article. The Tweet was bad but did not call for "houses to be burned down." The Tweet merely stated that if you had a neighbor who had a house that looked like that, and it was on fire, they'd let it burn down. Inappropriate, even as a joke, but not what the article and you are trying to claim.

And that is why I take issue with the article, as they are dishonest in their claims.

Wendy's. You were close though. I believe the ad was mostly directed at BK's Whopper, which does have a large bun.

This post belongs in "conspiracy theory". You have no credible evidence to back up your claims.

Conspiracy?

Perhaps you must be watching CNN who doesn't report the facts, the Biden's have been the subject of congressional investigation for the past 2-3 months, Joe Biden is now tied directly to Hunter as his impeachment looms ever closer

Lauren Boebert's articles of impeachment don't mention Hunter at all.

You may want to read up on what she's actually trying to accuse him of. Apparently, it's both abuse of power and dereliction of duty, at the same time for the same thing: the border.

-- A2SG, not sure how that works, exactly, but that's Boebert's problem, not mine.....

I don't know about you, but I have been calling for political maturity for over 20 years. Not republican maturity or democratic maturity; overall maturity as they seem to be equally guilty IMO. What we have had for decades is utterly ridiculous and I simply do not understand how anyone can applaud any party that spends more time slinging mud and name-calling than promoting their own agenda. I am tired of being largely left to choose between the best of our two abysmal choices.

ETA if it comes down to Trump and Biden in 2024 there will not be a best of the two abysmal choices IMO. There will just be two abysmal choices.

Yeah... the best of two abysmal choices is, an abysmal choice.
