  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

    President Obama and reality

    Don't be coy...the only reason to bring it up is to extrapolate that since the GOP is predominately white, they must all be closet racists...because no one could possibly be more of a John Locke than a Rousseau, believe is a better balance of subsidiarity and solidarity, fiscal sanity (and yes I...

    yes it is. It is also made up of middle aged white people, and even young white people, and a few (too few) minorities. That is a fact, not particularly insulting in and of themselves, the insult is the insinuations that one tries to draw from that.

    The New Racial-Derangement Syndrome

    Carter most certainly was at one point, he played the race game just like the rest...though to his credit he did drop that nonsense. How is Robert Byrd not a progressive? He was socially quite liberal, believed strongly in government intervention in the economy, and fancied himself a champion...

    the offense isn't being called old or white or male...though I am only two of those, the insult is two fold; one is attempting to dismiss an idea because a caucasian with a penis said it and secondly it attempts to deny the individual; the assertion is that no one who is not white male is...

    The New Racial-Derangement Syndrome

    What else would you consider people like Robert Byrd, Al Gore Sr., Jimmy Carter, Claude Pepper, Huey Long, William Fulbright, and Fritz Hollings etc?

    Hadn't heard, I confess I didn't check the news today, and American news is less frequent than more local news. That is terrible to hear, I can't say I am surprised there was a copycat attacker...there are plenty of evil freaks in the world. That said, I do think the vast majority of people...

    What's with republicans electing people with names right out of a MAD magazine?

    unfortunate. He was one of the good ones on the hill...oh well, hope he doesn't get a slap on the wrist, what's good for the goose is good for the gander.

    I don't recall attacking you...it's Christmas for goodness sake...chillax. you comment made me laugh, particularly the part about Republican women only doing their husbands bidding, or something along those lines, as I know my mother and grandmother, both dyed in the wool Republicans, are...
