  • 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.

Biden’s recent statement to donors saying “it’s time to put Trump in a bullseye.”

They were violent threats to property and people, not to one of the branches of government.
They took over neighborhoods, police stations. They were violent.
No national political figures were inviting people to "be wild".
Kamala Harris supported some of these people. She said, They are not going to stop, nor should they. She was on a campaign to fund their bails from jail.

Yeah and your team has called him Hitler and Stalin and the most dangerous man to out democracy and Biden says to put a bullseye on the man and then someone takes a shot at him, kills another person and wounds at least one more and you don't say a peep.about that?
Yeah I call hypocrisy at its finest. And we also have a bunch of leftists upset that he missed Trump? And not a.word out of you and others. Yeah I call hypocrisy!
My team? What team would that be? I never called him Hitler or Stalin , so you can drop that lie right now.

If some group or anther is sorry that Crooks missed that has nothing to do with me so stop tarring me with that brush.

I do believe he is bad for democracy and bad for our political discourse and bad for America, however I have never rejoiced in violence towards him or anyone else so you should apologize for that. And check the beam in your own eye.


You realize in that state it actually means nothing. You can be a Democrat and register to vote as a republican. The Dems do it all the time in these places.

These places? In every state anyone can vote for any party. You know this which shows how you disregard facts for your own rhetoric.
Let's wait until all is said and done before we decide about this kid. He could just be a mentally ill person looking to be famous.
We should wait before coming to conclusions about this guy. Perhaps we should also wait before bashing the other side.

That's what I said.

Her statement was explicitly about "protest". Constitutionally protected speech is very different from a riot.
Her statements were inclusive to her call to bail out those that were arrested.

And none did so on Jan 6th.

and before that Trump rose to political prominence as a proponent of the "Birther Movement" and its conspiracies.
At its worst calling for the lynching of then President Obama.

The USA has a long history of political violence. It's shortsighted to think it started with either side in this century.
false equivalence

silly conspiracies involving Obama's birth certificate, or even violent rhetoric in the corners of the Internet are not equivalent to literally burning police stations, shooting people, doing hundreds of millions in property damage, and trying to assassinate a presidential candidate

yes, all the violent rhetoric needs to stop, and the temperature needs to go way down, but I am not going to sit here and pretend both sides are equal on this.

Since when did prophesies need to match reality 100% for Christians to run with them?
The antichrist came and the elect bought Bibles from him.

It was not without her call to financial support to those they were paying to bail out.....
You do realize that people can be arrested during protests for doing things that are completely non-violent, right?
