  • 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

    Elizabeth Warren paid well by large corporations

    On that I wholeheartedly agree. What's that old saying? "When I was poor and complained about inequality they said I was bitter; now that I'm rich and I complain about inequality they say I'm a hypocrite. I'm beginning to think they just don't want to talk about inequality."

    IG Report: To Spy On Trump FBI Doctored Evidence To Falsely Paint Carter Page As Russian Spy

    Yeah, why do we need three threads for the IG report? Two of them are even made by the same person.

    Elizabeth Warren paid well by large corporations

    Rubiks: Because their politics can be influenced by who gives them donations. Voting the way your donor wants is something unscrupulous politicians have been doing since money and politics were invented. The funny thing is, it doesn't even have to be malign intentions from the politician. Big...

    Rep Duncan Hunter & wife charged with misusing campaign money

    Hunter has been stripped of his committee roles and has been told not to vote in the House anymore. For some inexplicable reason he hasn't resigned yet.

    The 2020 Democratic Primaries thread

    Random updates: Former Secretary of State John Kerry has endorsed Biden. California Poll had Warren and Biden slipping, Sanders and Buttigieg rising. Sanders lead with 24%, Warren 22%, Biden 14%, and Mayor Pete with 12%. Note this was taken before Kamala Harris dropped out, and so her 7% is up...

    The 2020 Democratic Primaries thread

    Kamala Harris is dropping out. Correction: Harris has dropped out. Her statement: "To my supporters, it is with deep regret—but also with deep gratitude—that I am suspending my campaign today. But I want to be clear with you: I will keep fighting every day for what this campaign has been...

    Trump & Obama by the Numbers.

    Archangel: Have you checked the polls done in Sharpie? In any event, I see no value in posting further in a thread started by lies, so these will be my last words on the matter.

    Trump & Obama by the Numbers.

    I took the GDP Growth for Trump since I figured it would be the easiest to verify and no matter which way I sliced it that number didn't come up. These Turning Point USA people are flat out lying. Joshua, I'm sure you would not deliberately spread falsehoods so please be more careful when...

    Trump preferred over Lincoln by Republicans

    They shouldn't have forced the issue at gunpoint then. The slave states attacked the US. The slave states started killing because they didn't like how an election turned out. The slave states rebelled without letting over third of their people even have a vote in the matter. Maybe in matters of...

    Trump preferred over Lincoln by Republicans

    Well to keep this marginally on-topic, Lincoln initially thought the March to the Sea was a bad idea. He thought it was a bad idea because Grant had told him it was a bad idea. Which is funny because Sherman got the idea from Grant's operational strategies in the first place. So when Sherman did...

    The 2020 Democratic Primaries thread

    We're less than two weeks away from the next debate qualification deadline. So far the qualifying candidates are: Joe Biden Elizabeth Warren Bernie Sanders Pete Buttigieg Kamala Harris Amy Klobuchar Candidates that still need either more donors or higher poll numbers are: Cory Booker Andrew...

    The Democratic Safe House

    You make it sound as if all our efforts are dependent on a handful of billionaires. And that stopping Trump from rigging the election is bad. I'd have more faith in Republicans being willing to work across the aisle if they weren't currently blocking over 400 bills from the House. Not voting...

    Trump preferred over Lincoln by Republicans

    I'd like to point out that this is part of a letter written to the editor of a newspaper that was then, as intended, published for the public to view. At a time when the Union was still divided over what to do with slavery, but everyone wanted to win the war, this statement basically had...

    The Democratic Safe House

    Heh. Opposing Trump more than most Republicans is practically the prime example of damned by faint praise. He's voted with Trump 86% of the time and always on the most important issues. And I doubt that family friendship has survived now that Graham is actively targeting Biden's family to...

    The Democratic Safe House

    These are the context clues. Only one state had an Indian governor, has a black senator, and has the other one as someone who was allegedly Biden's friend until it became politically inconvenient. That would be South Carolina. Mark, I take it you're canvassing for Jaime Harrison. How is it...
