  • 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.

    Powerlifting

    Greetings from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ! I hope all is well. To start, I am a natural powerlifter, meaning i do not use drugs at any point in my training. I am not competitive and don't plan on becoming a competitive powerlifter. My goal is to honor God by making my body stronger...

    American Family Association

    This might be the wrong place to ask this, so feel free to move this to the appropriate forum. I support (meaning agree with) the American Family Association. They support the traditional family structure and oppose both abortion and same sex marriage (homosexuality in general) among other...

    My Political Views

    A very quick update: After prayerful consideration, I have switched to the Republican Party. They share my core values more than the Democrats do.

    My Political Views

    I see this as the most fair option, however, since flat taxes will not be seriously considered, I also like the idea behind the FairTax proposal. Taxes are not my biggest issue, which is why is not the first few sentences.

    My Political Views

    I think it right to share my political beliefs, after my previous post. While I do hold to traditional marriage, a monogamous heterosexual family structure, and am pro-life, I hold some liberal views. For example, I support Common Core national standards, however, each district should be given...

    Conservative Democrat

    Just an update... Dan Lipinski, a representative from Illinois shares a lot of my views (again, he and I are in the minority). Plus, the original post did not represent my personal views, just my generalization of conservatives in general.

    Conservative Democrat

    In the national realm, very few Democrats are elected to office that share the majority of my views. The state affiliates seem to run conservative candidates(unfortunately, Jon Bel Edwards-Louisiana's governor- is the only elected official that shares my views)

    Conservative Democrat

    Not in my state, however, I agree with David Clarke (former Milwaukee County sheriff) and Jon Bel Edwards (current governor of Louisiana). I have to stress that I do not agree with Clarke's way of describing opposing views.

    Conservative Democrat

    My grandparents are Democrats and are conservatives, plus many of my political influences were Democrats.

    Conservative Democrat

    I read past platforms and find that many times the Democrats had conservative attitudes. Obviously, the times are different but I hold out hope that the party will return to its conservative past (William Jennings Bryan keeps popping into my head, not that I want another WJB)

    Conservative Democrat

    Smaller than it is currently, with social support given by churches (or other religious institution or handled in the private sector).

    Conservative Democrat

    The majority up conservative democrats do not fit my narrow definition, however, the Blue Dog Coalition is economically conservative but many are socially liberal. In other words, they are more moderate compared to the party leaders.
