  • 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.

I can and I will but you are the one who can’t stand the counter challenge. Typical liberal maneuver.

Why is it necessary to bring up Harris' policies in order to provide Trump's policies?

If you can and will, then do so. This is a great opportunity for you to "own the libs" here. You get to provide Trump's policies without anyone mentioning Harris, so you get to keep your personal narrative about Harris not having any policies.

If anything, this is offering you a silver platter.

Surely you are not that clueless as to recent actions of the current occupant of the White House?
I am, a bit. Don't be shy, tell us about the President.

Then we can get back on-topic

These are not my words, they come from a Christian. I think he is spot on.

When people can no longer tell the difference between Christians and bullies, that's when we know the Christians are following someone opposite from Jesus.

Here is a chance to counter this liberal bias by giving examples of Trump's 'kindness and compassion'. (But please do not claim that kindness and compassion are exclusively Christian virtues.)
Here are just 2 there are many more examples. 1 other one I just saw was once Trumps limousine broke down on the side of the road a couple stopped to see if they could help. Later the Good Samaritan received the deed to his house Trump payed off . We could go on and on but liberals have so demonized the man because of political ignorance and lies no liberal could possibly acknowledge there is anything good about the man. No, acts of kindness are not exclusive to Christianity but I will empathetically say the liberal portrayal of Trump is built on political lies and propaganda.

I’ll let him tell you.
An ungramattical question, a noisy environment. This was apprantly such a "nothing" that only a Murdoch outlet could make a 6 minute video recapping a 30-second question.

Thank you for these. They certainly tell a story of Trump's generosity. Interestingly the Trump gifts ended up on Fox News.

Is it my terrible liberal bias or are these gifts tax-deductible - or paid for out of campaign funds? Another uncharitable thought - would a billionaire notice a few thousand dollars?

the liberal portrayal of Trump is built on political lies and propaganda.
My view of Trump is mainly shaped by things I have heard him say at rallies and in interviews. They may have been lies and propaganda, but not liberal ones. For example, I have to recoil from him when he boasted live of how he could just grab women. It may have been an idle joke but I found it repulsive.

You did not let me down . I expected thus type of response. You just proved a point I made in the post.

Sure the sun in his eye a rock in his shoe. Joe has dementia and that is the reason he flubbed the debate and is no longer running. Liberals are always so predictable. You never disappoint. Great job.

I don't think I proved a point, but maybe I confirmed your view.

Now, back to the topic! I think that despite these examples of donations Trump is unfit to be President.

His grabbing women remark is for me an insight into his character.He has publicly mocked the disabled. He has claimed without evidence that a lot of officials twisted the 2020 presidential election vote to steal the presidency. That was defamatory. He went on to try to bully some more officials to 'find' enough votes to change the result in Georgia. I still have the transcript of the phone call he made. These actions in my view are deeply wrong.

He broke election promises to build a wall between the USA and Mexico and make the Mexicans pay for it. He damaged the alliance between USA and the other NATO countries, thus breaking the agreement which had kept the peace in Europe for seventy years.

Dear me. You were sacked to show how generous and thoughtful Trump is and you have to revert yo urban myths? I think that says something mmm in itself. From here: Did Donald Trump Pay Off a Good Samaritan's Mortgage?

'The implausible story making the rounds at Toronto doughnut shops is that somebody's newphew's friend's cousin, Joe, was driving down Highway 401 in his pickup truck when he spotted a white stretch limousine, with its hood up, on the shoulder.

Joe, being a good samaritan, stopped to help. Within minutes, he got the limo running and a grateful driver asked for Joe's card so he could send him a little something.

"Nah," Joe said. "It was nothing. I was just trying to be helpful."

The driver insisted, so Joe gave him a card and forgot about it. A week later, he got a call from his bank informing him that his $160,000 mortgage had been paid off by Donald Trump, who was a passenger in the limo.

"We've heard the story," said an irritated-sounding assistant of Mr. Trump's at his New York office. "No, it isn't true."

And gee, it took me all of 15 seconds to find that.

If you could find one that was not true that quickly show us how quickly you can find one that is true! It might require some honesty and fairness but I believe you can do it .

What I'm having trouble understanding is how the actions of a persons religious moral principles, or lack there of, are being seen out side of basic religious principles. That doesn't make sense to me.
Are you are asking why non-religious people have a view on Trump's moral outlook? It is because the presidency of the USA has a bearing on the lives of other nations. What kind of person the President is is important to us.

Are you are asking why non-religious people express a view on Trump's moral framework? It is because moral principles are not exclusively religious. Non-religious people have them too.

In my view Trump has not displayed much in the way of religious principles - and yes, non-religious people can have a view on them.
