  • 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.

Be prepared to help her with her medical bills if she is left up the creek without a paddle. And remember which party caused the carastrophe.
Yes... The Democrats have closed down the gov by refusing to vote for the CR.
It is just that simple. All else is subterfudge.

Fortunately 2/3 of Americans polled know the truth.
The party with all the power deserves all the guilt.

The Democrats voted no. Their base will have to stand up to their leaders.

I don't know which particular source this is, but going to the same sources that have been spreaders of hoax after hoax is not logical. Do you know the old saying, "Fool me once . . ?" There were over 2 million non-citizens receiving Medicaid before the big beautiful bill became law. Democrats can argue that they were legal due to Biden administration polices but they are illegals now. The GOP tightened up the wording in the law to prevent them from taking taxpayer dollars, why do you think the Democrats are still demanding the wording in the new law be removed? It's the same tactic they use over and over, while people were pouring over our southern border and they were even secretly flying people in, they told their base the border was safe, secure, and closed. It took some Republican senators getting past the secrecy and recording what was going on, and then the Texas governor busing people to Democrat cities in order for some to realize they had been lied to:
“They’re angry… They’re frustrated that the Congress — at least in the Senate — is focused on paying for health care benefits for illegals as opposed to paying their paychecks for the great work that they provide to the American people.” (Watch)
My article is linked, and has sources for their statements within the article. You posted the lies from the Trump White house itself. An org that will lie like no tomorrow. The org that has claimed it has a plan to make healthcare better and cheaper which would make this whole shutdown moot. But we both know that too is a lie. So one more time. If you or the White house of the GOP have to make up claims as a argument, then all of you have no argument.

To add, here's Snopes. An AP factcheck. A Georgetown U factcheck, US Today news and so on.
I know they aren't the Mooney Paper, Murdoch Inc, The Epoch Times or Prager U, but maybe there's a case for dabbling in reality.
