  • 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.

Democrats shut down government

Nope. It's the truth, though I'm confident you don't know it, because you haven't looked into it beyond what the clowns on Fox and Phonies said.

You think the people who lick Donald Trump's shoes care about you, your loved ones, or America at all?
They clearly do more than the Democrats. At least they getting rid of illegal alien criminals

Good day,

The unions have dumped on the democrats, and the Washington post editorial dumped them as well.

The democrats are using the misery of the American people as leverage against the American people...

Let the infighting begin... Chuckie's in trouble

Hopefully another Republican president. I can see that happening.
After the last Trump term, all the nations who held their tongue during that 4 year period decided "to act in response" after it was over.

None of the up and coming candidates can pull off a Trump.

So what do you think will happen to America?

The pressure on the democrats is building at a fever pitch:


Snip- "The four largest U.S. airlines are now adding pressure on Democrats to "pass a clean CR" and reopen the government as Transportation Security Administration (TSA) workers and air traffic controllers are going without pay. "

I have lost all respect for you.

I'm sorry that you feel that way, but I can't ignore the things going on in my own country. I can't simply ignore my conscience. I can't turn a blind eye toward evil. I can't pretend I don't see what I see and know what I know.

My government is shut down, people aren't getting paid, and millions of my fellow countrymen are going to go without food because the Republicans want to throw a tantrum.

They want to rob my neighbors of healthcare, and because Democrats refuse to bow and kneel to their demands, they have shut down the government, and are now millions of people are going to suffer.

There's a dictator running my country right now, and using federal agents as his own private police force--they are marching in the street, they are assaulting men, women, and children, including Christian clergy. They are assaulting the disabled, they are illegally detaining my neighbors, my fellow countrymen, citizens, legal residents, immigrants (legal or undocumented, it doesn't matter).

My country is on fire right now.

I can't afford to play nice with people who want to see my neighbors erased, who want to purge America of people based on the color of their skin, or because of their political views.

This isn't politics. This is good and evil. This is a battle, and it's a war fought against fascism in America, against fascists.

If I lose friends, that's fine. At the end of the day all I can do is abide by conscience, and trust in God's mercy. I do not believe it is acceptable for a Christian to be on the side of tyranny and oppression. My God came down and walked with prostitutes, associated with losers, and commanded I welcome the foreigner without reservation.

The Incarnation means I am morally obligated to side with the oppressed, not the oppressor.
