  • 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.

Of course not! Why would Republicans be impressed by empathy and kindness?

In Jesus famous words "Do not worry about other people".
When it's fake, when it's just a performance, it's not impressive.

And if we don't like the outcome of the ballot box, we get to obey the law anyway. . .that's how it works in a republic.
It is a shame your current president doesn't feel that way,
If you don't know what it means, why are you opposed to it?
Cheap, evasive rhetorical tricks don't advance your position, they simply expose it.

That's part of the package. . .ain't republics great?

I'll have to figure out my position before I can develop cheap evasive rhetorical tricks to advance it.

In the meantime, I'll just enjoy what is, along with the rest of the majority who put him there.

Plurality. Trump did not get the majority of the vote but a mere plurality.

A "mere"?. . .49.8% to 48.3%. . .Trump had 2,300,000 more votes.

Works for me. . .

Check your math. . .

The difference is 1.5% between the Republican and Democrat candidates.
0.2 percent would have given Trump a majority.
Edit make that 0.3, he had to exceed 50%

I guess its not enough to just win the election. We have to add to the glory with contrived claims.
Contrived is in the eye of the beholder. . .the numbers bear them out.

The difference is 1.5%, or 2.3 million votes between the Republican and Democrat candidates.

0.2 percent would have given Trump a majority.
Edit make that 0.3, he had to exceed 50%

I never paid any attention to the difference between a majority and a plurality until someone pointed it out
