• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

Walz to join Harris for interview. Why? Because she needs a babysitter.

You mean the anguished choices real live women sometimes make, often for serious, life-saving reasons? These "vicious murderers" whose sin is believing differently from you about when personhood begins--living in a country with no legal definition supporting either their position--or yours?
A country where even Christian denominations hold different views?
This vituperative hatred of those whose sin is believing differently from you troubles my soul.
I am encouraged by the Christians I know who focus on positive action instead of damaging rhetoric. Who use their time and talent to work for the common good, like Walz.
My life experience has shown me that people who struggle with infertility often hold the most anger at women who have abortions, that they would make this decision heedless of the infertile families' suffering. That Tim Walz could feel this compassion despite his own family struggle speaks highly of him.
I love how those who support the abortion of children will use an extreme example to try to emotionally manipulate the discussion. Especially since we know that the vast majority of abortions aren’t taking place in ERs where the life of the mother is at stake.

FWIW I think @public hermit is correct, it's the center of a left/right dichotomy, (the centrist or moderate view). A left/right dichotomy contains two subjective yet equally valid views, with the objective view at the center. For example, in this case one side could be for natural gas production through fracking, while the other side could be against destroying drinking water due to contamination of the water table when fracking. Good lawmakers can articulate both points of view so that they can find solutions, while a propagandist will play one end against the other.
I want to ban it - I don’t want to ban it anymore. Opposite

Yes, left and right are opposites and that's exactly what I am trying to convey to you about a left/right dichotomy. A left/right dichotomy contains two opposing subjective views that objectively are equally valid.

FYI, Harris said she will not ban fracking as President, she didn't say she wouldn't like to.

These are just filtered and watered down. all the gaffs are edited out. I could not in all good conscience vote for these two solely because of their stance on Abortion and opening up the borders. I am still watching this to see if they even address those issues.

I guess that’s because Democrats only care that she’s not Trump. Policies don’t matter.
That's very true for many, but not all. There are a lot of Democrats rhat are very supportive of the policies she has talked about. Which aren't many. They are also fine with what she has not done, such as address the border despite being tasked with it. They are fine with her being part of the political coup against Biden. They are perfectly fine with Walz's policies and actions as governor.

And what of eliminating gas powered vehicles, private health insurance and the filibuster?
Why can't she do a live interview?

I’d buy that if she hadn’t surged in the polls right after she was anointed.

The immediate matter of urgency is making sure we preserve the democratic process of free and fair elections for future generations by not letting an autocratic cult takeover of government.

I'm sure she can. The question itself is propaganda.

Thanks to environmental regulations, fracking is safer today.
Our state has large lithium deposits--needed for electric batteries for cars, solar storage, etc. Several companies are getting ready to develop their lands--but they have already done research and developed ways to extract lithium from brine economically and safely, returning the brine to the earth.
I don't like fracking, but recognize the need and support safe technical improvements.
Psst... they don't frack for Lithium -

They strip mine

What gaffes? Where are the edits? I've watched the first part, paying attention to where such edits might have occurred and nothing was obvious to me. Most of the camera cuts happened in the middle of sentences and the audio was continuous. Those camera cuts that didn't happen in the middle of somebody speaking were typically at a point where one person had clearly stopped speaking.

ETA: I found one edit towards the end of pt 3. Harris had stopped talking, but the edit made it obvious that something had been cut out (possibly just dead air).

I'm sure she can. The question itself is propaganda.
Yet she didn't do one. The truth is only propaganda when you have no answer

So we finally get an interview with Harris. But it’s really not. They are partnering her with a babysitter…Walz.

Everyone who has seen any interview of any length knows why. She cannot be allowed off script. So it will definitely be interesting to watch how many times Walz has to chime in.
Matt Walsh said Harris needed Walz like an emotional support dog.
