  • 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.

Several Amendments and Acts of Congress forbid the disenfranchisement of certain groups of people though.
Right. You can't deny somebody the right to vote because they're black. You can deny them the right to vote because they're fat or because you think they're ugly.

Because the “consent of the governed” rests clearly in the Constitution that is silent as to their participation in that “consent”. Yes, amazing we got nearly 245 years out of such a shoddy piece of workmanship, huh?
