  • 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.

Bottom line is it's a total double standard. Democrats can Burn, Loot and Murder and it's called a mostly peaceful protest.
No it isn't. This case is about a specific group of Proud Boys who *ORGANIZED* a pre-planned attack.
The ONLY people killed on Jan 6th were 2 UNARMED WOMEN , who were protesting a rigged election.

If we use your term "KILLED" then there is only ONE person who was clearly killed -- Ashli Babbitt (and she was actually armed with a folding knife, but the police had no way to know that when she charged at them).

Of the other 4 people who died directly from the actions of that day the one that best fits the term "KILLED" would be Brian Sicknick (described above). For that description to fit the clot that caused his stroke would have to have been created or triggered by the chemical attack he endured. Alternatively it may have been the stress of the day that triggered it, like it was for two, older male Trump supporters who also died that day.

The final person for which "KILLED" might apply is Rosanne Boyland. Her official cause of death was amphetamine overdose. Did she take a excess dose in the stress of the day, forgot she'd already taken her dose already, or something else? Who knows? She also fell down in the melee at the "tunnel attack". (Did she fall down *because* of the OD? Again I don't know.) Once she fell, she was partially crushed and if persons "killed" her (outside the raw OD itself) then it was the people who were on top of her when she was on the ground. Those people were not just Trump supporters, but Trump supporters actively engaged in the violent attack against the entryway to the Capitol being held by the police. (the two images in post #152 are at and about the battle at the tunnel where Rosanne died.)
Yet the Left likes to pretend thousands of Democrats were murdered on that day.
This is false.

Ok, so he called himself. Past tense. The idea it you can kill women and children and still run for president. I look forward to the 1,000 year reign of Christ when there will be no more war.

You think that that’s going to happen soon?

This worked for Ike, and Kennedy, why shouldn’t have McCain tried for the brass ring too?

It could happen soon. I believe that 2029 is the 2,000-year anniversary of the church. I do not know how we go from one era to the next, but most people believe there will be a 7-year tribulation between the Church age and the Kingdom age. The thousand year reign of Christ that they call the millennial.

....and it's your belief that VP Pence got in the way of these events when he stood up for the US Constitution?

How many people did Ike & Kennedy kill? I wish I could put the classic photo of the napalm girl on here so people can see what a tragedy that war was. His father was Commander-in-Chief, Pacific Command (CINCPAC), commanding all U.S. forces in the Vietnam theater from 1968 to 1972.

Stalinist courts are well know for their impartiality.
We sided with Stalin against Hitler. According to his secretary, Hitler was very surprised we did not side with him against Stalin.

This alliance was not based on a close friendship or shared values between the Western Allies and the Soviet Union, but was primarily driven by the common goal of defeating Nazi Germany.

So, you planning on getting a nice Christian ranch after the Rapture?
(I got my eye on a nice mega-church, ‘round my way!)

And John S. McCain III was a Navy fighter pilot who was shot down on a mission. He was a prisoner of war. He didn't plan those missions or give those orders. This does not make him a war criminal.

No one is legally or morally responsible for the actions of their parents. If you want to make a case against John S. McCain, Jr. go start a thread for it because he has absolutely nothing to do with the events of January 6th, the Proud Boys, or the topic of this thread.

That is not what the Bible says. I, the Lord thy God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate Me. Deuteronomy.

While presiding over the Senate, the Vice President's primary duty is to maintain order, recognize speakers, and ensure that Senate proceedings adhere to established rules and procedures.He failed to do his job and he failed to maintain order. In fact, a lot of people accused him of causing the insurrection that day. It was his job to shut it down until they could establish order.
