• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • 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.

This shows the clear difference between conservatives and their opponents. Conservatives typically want debate and discussion, President Trump spends hours answering questions from the press. Opponents often call names and often wish to control or shut down those with different ideologies.

Let’s stay on topic please.
In response to the OP’s own comments, bringing Trump into the conversation, it is a fitting response.

"Typically." Trump is one of a kind, and when verbally attacked comes right back at them. That's no secret. The vast majority of violent rhetoric, the vast majority of attempts to silence and control those who disagree, and the vast majority of violent actions are coming from opponents of conservatives.

For Trump verbally attacked means the press asking him a question he doesn’t want to answer.

This has been soundly refuted in other threads, as well as in this one. How many times do you have to lose this argument?

Well? There is room for improvement, but given his age, I doubt he will change. His personality can definitely be a turn off to some. I get it.

Something.. something.. old dog... new tricks.
He’s well on in years. If his personality ever changes, that would be a miracle. But I’m not holding my breath, speaking as a MODERATE conservative.

I relistened the videoclip and he was NOT verbally attacked. Asking for a reason for all the delays is NOT verbally attacking Trump.
