  • 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.

    Boehner to 'birthers': Hawaii good enough for me

    Obviously he has to straddle the line between the sane conservatives who want government spending reduced and the conservatives who think Obama is a secret kenyan who wants to give their tax money to illegal immigrants so they can take all the guns. Yes he could have done better, but...

    Boehner to 'birthers': Hawaii good enough for me

    Kudos to Boehner for standing up to the radical elements in his party. I wonder if McConnell, Steele and Cantor will follow suit.

    "How Poor are the Poor?"

    I want to understand what her point is! By avoiding the same question asked repeatedly by several individuals she is doing a fine job of self-humiliation, thats one area she needs no help. If she is afraid of that her answer can't stand up to the scrutiny of a "young man" (her words) that is...

    Log Cabin rebublicans

    What about homosexual marriage? Why would the homosexual vote go back to the GOP when they have been more or less against the DADT repeal and almost universally against homosexual marriage? Don't get me wrong, i'm against homosexual marriage, but the best the GOP could do with the homosexual...

    "calm down, nobody is trying to take your guns"

    I am also in favor of making it easier for law enforcement to do their work. This bill sounds better and better. I don't live in New York but maybe I should show them my support for it :)

    Some liberal rag declares Obamacare is working.

    The GOP reform healthcare? What is the GOP plan? Buying across state lines? What a joke! Until they have some real proposals they will be treated like they have no ideas, because they don't.

    Log Cabin rebublicans

    Clearly there can be homosexuals who are conservative on other issues. They may buy into the other wedge issues of the GOP such as abortion and owning guns. Heck in Texas I'm sure a lot of homosexuals would like to own guns to protect themselves. Although owning firearms is a moot point...

    Some liberal rag declares Obamacare is working.

    Yet the conservatives want to repeal the whole thing?

    "calm down, nobody is trying to take your guns"

    It clearly identifies which firearm the cartridge came from. That way it can be tracked back to the owner who may have information about how his gun went missing. Instead of having to wait to collect the firearm to do bullet comparison, which becomes difficult as the bullet is deformed, the...

    "calm down, nobody is trying to take your guns"

    I didn't realize a webforum was part of the press. Writing to the New York Times would be be utilizing the press. E-mailing Fox News and having your email read on air would be utilizing the press. Get the local news in New York to do something. I don't see non-existent problems you're right...

    When Muslims kill Christians

    So you don't want to do anything about it. Why do you want to sit back while people are persecuted due to religious beliefs?

    Free Lt. Colonel Terry Lakin! Scheduled to be court-martialed Dec. 14, 2010

    "lowering taxes generates revenue" "liberals want to take your guns" say it enough and some people will begin to believe it

    "calm down, nobody is trying to take your guns"

    You think making a commotion on a web forum is going to prevent a piece of legislation from getting passed? Hate to break it to you, but no, that won't work. Are you a resident of New York state? If so contact your State Representative and State Senator and do something that would actually...

    Boehner tells Reid and the other commies 'quit crying'.

    Adding to the deficit isn't "imaginary" If it were "imaginary" they wouldn't need to pay for it by using funds from the stimulus package as you suggest. Once again you can't have it both ways.
