  • 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.

You think someone paid over 5 million people to go protest?

Is that because you can’t ever see yourself standing for something unless you were paid for it?
People were paid to show up. You need to need to pay 5 million. Just in key areas in order to make the crowds bigger.

A King would just declare a royal decree and it would be law.
A king would just declare a royal decree and it would be done.

The king doesn't need a law. He's not answerable to laws. Some judge is going to tell him he can't do X?

A King would just declare a royal decree and it would be law. Unless you are claiming EOs are law and that the president has the authority to change law by EO. Is that your claim? If not then we obviously have no king.
Are you kidding us with this claptrap? This is a distinction without a difference.

Trump has ordered into the field a force of paramilitary police for the purpose, which he clearly stated, of "liberating the country from socialism." Noem has reiterated that purpose and had a press conference to explain her plans for carrying it out. (you might remember hearing something in the news about that press conference). I don't remember any Democratic President mobilizing federal agents against capitalism.
Is that the only thing she said? You'd think by the way the leftists have been acting that Noem walked up to the podium and said "we are liberating people from socialism," then walked away.

Every march was organized and attended by Marxist socialists including rioters. So I guess it is kind of freeing people from the socialist communists who have terrorized the area.

Solidarity with countries people are fleeing from? Thats pretty dumb.
Nobody is fleeing from Mexico. Mexicans just sneak over here to work. Those who flee here from other countries may still feel solidarity to their nation, just not the government or the gangs that dominate it. As for waving the Mexican flag, though Mexico is not pleased with it, I can certainly understand it. Mexico used to own LA and the entire rest of the state. LA was the last of the major cities in California to be founded by Spanish speakers coming from Mexico and that was in 1781. Many of the latinos who inhabit those places can trace their families back to those dates and so naturally even Mexican American citizens feel some solidarity with the place. Is that part of "threatening the American way of life" you were going on about?

That is nothing but slanderous filth. I'm sorry that a Christian and a patriot can be brought to believe such a a thing. As a public policy positions it is borderline treasonous.

I don’t think Nancy Pelosi speaks Spanish. I might be wrong, but Mexico can have her.

Not at all. You know who printed signs for the protests and who were involved in them? Party for Socialism and Liberation which has ties to the Chinese Communist Party. Then there is CHIRLA which is also a leftist organization that created rhe Rapid Response Network to warn people of ICE activities. They have ties with the PSL and get mo ey through ACT Blue which is the Democratic fundraising platform which is under investigation regarding foreign transactions. Then there is rhe SEIU which has a leftist socialist group also involved in socialist workers and socialist causes and ideals.

Are these illegal organizations? Or just ideological opponents of MAGA?

The SEIU is not a socialist organization. It's a labor organization, and that's what gets up your nose, isn't it?

Is that how he was trying to use it? Yes.
But a King wouldn't just try. He would just create the law. Apparently Trump cant do that anymore than any other president. I suppose we could say Biden was a King too since he used EOs as well.

Who cares if they are legal. They are socialist and communist. Thats all I was saying. A labor organization can be socialist too.

Ot appears again that I am correct. Thats probably what gets up your nose.

Lol, of course they are fleeing from Mexico. There are a lot of reasons to. High crime, high corruption, high violence, no jobs etc.

Why on earth would you feel solidarity to a country you left for one that provides you and your family with amazing opportunities, jobs, medical care, money, a better way of life. A country so good that MILLIONS are trying to get into every single year. If they have such reverence and solidarity for that country they could just go back to that wonderful solid life they lived.

They are here illegally. That is ALL that matters. LA isnt Spanish land anymore. Hasn't been for some time. Its US land and part of the USA. If it wants to be Mexico so bad it should leave CA. But I bet CA which is also part of rhe US wouldn't let them. Shame on CA.

Maybe they should run LA like Mexico runs Mexico. Maybe thats the answer. They are probably part way there anyway.

Yes, well done. You have correctly pointed out that we are not actually living under a monarchy. Something that no one was claiming. Get back to us when you figure out what people were actually saying.

Last I heard, being a socialist or a communist was not illegal either.

A labor organization can be socialist, but the SEIU is not.

Who cares if its legal. I told you who they were and you said i was believing nonsense. Well, I was right. Now, instead of admitting I was correct you want to change the conversation. Rather than admit you were incorrect to make such a statement you decide to give the goal posts. Not surprising at this point.
A labor organization can be socialist, but the SEIU is not.
It supports and organizes for socialist causes.
