  • 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.

It is odd that after shutting down the decades old victim-blaming pattern against women - it should resurface when it comes to multiple assassination attempts against the Presidential candidate of the Republican party.


It is odd how the left-wing-media magnifies that victim-blaming pattern

In my opinion, the left wing politicians and influencers in mainstream media as well as social media shall never accept responsibility for the negative actions influenced by their rhetoric.

I pray that all political rhetoric calms down -
I pray for a peaceful election

Enough with the assassination element of this election cycle.

And respectfully, I think that my opinion has a lot more facts---and bucketfuls and bucketfuls more "rhetoric"--to back up my assertion.
And I'm still scratching my head trying to figure out exactly how asking people to "vote" seems so inflammatory. It is asking the limiters to embrace the rules of democracy to fight those candidates who are determined to end them.

In my opinion, both parties, left and even right enjoy to be the right ones, even if only half of the stuff both parties say is true.

3rd Party all the way, bro. :)

Where are the "negative actions" and assassination attempts in the USA which have been inspired by right wing rhetoric?

At least they don't have two assassination attempts in 2024 and the shooting of the senators on the ball field to account for

On June 14, 2017, a mass shooting occurred

It appears to me that my statements are loaded with actual facts.

But when I see things on the left that are posted where even the left-wing media admits that it is debunked .. I think it is time to step back and see the bigger picture.
And I'm still scratching my head trying to figure out exactly how asking people to "vote" seems so inflammatory.
I am with you on that one. I never claim that either side should refrain from encouraging people to vote.

Do you have an actual news report of someone saying it is inflammatory to ask people to vote?

So Trump is determined to 'end' his opponents, or maybe you just mean 'end democracy' but he is the one getting shot at? With a bullseye put there by the sitting president? He "HAS TO BE ELIMINATED" your guys say. What happens the day after Harris loses the election? Which cities get torched, which Federal buildings get ransacked, how many people are killed, all by mostly peaceful 'voters'? Will we have a palace coup? You want to see a January 6th? The 'mostly peaceful voters' will be going into full insurrection mode that will make anything that happened January 2021 look like the child's play that it was. I guess we better hope Harris wins so those 'mostly peaceful voters' don't burn the country down.

Wait, there is a baseball competition between Democrats and Republicans? In general, baseball is kinda boring, but it would be fun to watch two political parties play ball. :) It is sad that 6 people were shot though. The 2010s had a lot of mass shootings from what I remember.

Metal detectors should be used at every sporting venue in my opinion, regardless of venue size

Also, a Republican named Solomon Peña fired a gun at the homes of two commissioners, so it goes to show that both sides can be violent:

The Republican rhetoric is substantially more inflammatory than Democrat candidates prophesying the end of democracy (based on about 33 indictments in Georgia and another 4 in Washington, DC due to the Republican candidate's election interference in 2020--after losing an election by 8 million votes, the widest margin in history). And the Democratic candidates' solution--encouraging voting, is about as non-inflammatory as you can get.

Why aren't people going after the Democratic candidates? Well, the most recent people riled up by Republican rhetoric were too busy terrorizing Springfield, OH with bomb threats and anti-refugee actions.

Others, triggered by the Republican candidate's talk of election fraud, have been busy sending suspicious mail with white powder to 5 different state election boards. MSN

Several months earlier, the powder contained fentanyl.

Finally, all the candidates have acknowledged getting death threats by mail all the time...but only one candidate ignores the sage advice of the Secret Service, insisting on large outdoor rallies and rabble rousing at every turn.

Only one candidate has threatened every single federal employee with firing (unless they are sycophants.) Only one has said he will punish all his "enemies," including attorneys, media figures, and donors, with long prison sentences. Only one candidate promises mass deportations....so far I estimate I've compiled a list of millions who have been threatened and triggered by his rhetoric.

Democratic candidates don't make a practice of provoking people...

In my opinion, I sincerely believe that we don't see the same stuff happening in this world. Did you know that the recent bomb threats came from people in foreign nations? Did you know that at least 50% of Americans support deporting illegal immigrants? I could go on and on and on. But, I don't have the time right now to make a long post.

The left wants Donald Trump dead. They won't stop even as they fan the flames
Hopefully this is not at all a sign of things to come, when they ratchet up the emotions even more so as election day approaches.

"“The individual with the bomb dog falsely reported explosives being found and that individual is currently being detained by police,”

from: Cops shoot down bogus report of explosives found near Trump’s Long Island rally site

I am sure it is nothing of course.

Telling people to vote is as far from fanning the flames as can be.
We don't want Trump dead. We want him alive to stand trial and be appropriately sentenced for his crimes.
His supporters need him to be held accountable for his crimes to realize they have been led astray.
The free world needs him to be held accountable so they can feel safe and believe in our commitments.

You're justifying the assassins. He's dangerous and a criminal threat to the USA. He needs to be put in prison and be executed as a traitor/foreign asset but the system won't do it. Why would you then oppose those who wish him dead?

You're rhetoric adds fires to the flames because what if he wins and the democratic option fails? Well now you have Hitler in charge. If the death of Donald Trump would save the republic, why is that not a legitimate option? It's like saying you'd be opposed to assassinating Hitler prior to WW2.

Also, respond to people directly. It's very annoying when you do this. Like when you used to refer to yourself In the third person.

As I said before - I agree that both sides should freely be telling people to vote.

But the assassination attempts steeped by the over-the-top calls for "terminating" Trump and calling him "an existential threat to democracy" -- don't exactly look like unpaired events

You may want Trump in prison, but having him dead is the consolation prize for lots of the woke crowd. But then you get Vance.
I bet you are equally afraid of Vance.

Also, please respond to people directly. We can't read your mind very well.

It isn't going to happen because there were no crimes.
His supporters need him to be held accountable for his crimes to realize they have been led astray.
Again many had no crime. And those that did were treated unfairly.
The free world needs him to be held accountable so they can feel safe and believe in our commitments.
There is not a reason to feel unsafe by the bogus charges, and over charges..

Cutting off the head of a snake only works if that's truly the head of what you want to kill.

Trump is not our head, he is simply one of our numbers, one of many.

Our Federal Government and the US Constitution prevents any POTUS from a tyrant or a king.

Trump is not going to prison and they know it. And it did not have the effect they had hoped anyway so, get rid of him.
