  • 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

    Iowa Refers 80 Cases of Vote Fraud

    Shoot. I thought Veritas was talking about felons, not people convicted of voter fraud. Her question doesn't even make sense.

    Iowa Refers 80 Cases of Vote Fraud

    Sure. But it doesn't really matter what I think. Until as recently as 2011 that was the opinion of the state of Iowa. Then the first-day governor signed an executive order. Plenty of felons were eligible to vote in the election in 2012. Just not the cats who were released after the...

    Obama administration's plan to shrink US military faces sharp resistance in Congress

    I gotta wonder how the Army feels about the cancellation of the A10. On one hand you've gotta love that cannon. On the other it's probably good news that the army is taking the reigns over its own air support instead of relying on a program the Air Force treats worse than a redheaded...

    Iowa Refers 80 Cases of Vote Fraud

    Hmm. So far Iowa's managed to land 5 convictions and 5 dismissals on the 16 charges of voter fraud it's taken to court. Here are the convictions (all plead guilty): 3 were felons who thought their right to vote was restored when they finished their sentence. That would've been true as...

    Another NSA blockbuster ... Who here is working for NSA?

    Clever. Taking the heat off your back by pretending that this program started after it really did. Just because the only memos the NSA has purposefully leaked seem to exonerate Vylo doesn't mean he's not an NSA agent. In fact this implicates him even more. He knows too much.

    Early Voting

    I was responding to a post that distinguished absentee and early voting as 2 different things. I was not talking about absentee voting. This thread is not about absentee voting. Early voting is the question. Why do some want to eliminate it?

    I give him two weeks before the Tea Party brands him a RINO.

    With Yellen at the helm, stock market paralleling 1928/1929

    Haha. I was just about to say that. The thread title is kinda silly. "With Yellen at the helm"? She's been sitting in that captain's chair for, umm, 8 days now? I'm not sure that's even a pixel on yer graph.

    Early Voting

    I'm not a smart enough guy to understand how fraud issues regarding early voting wouldn't also be problems on election day.

    Terrorism attack on California power grid

    That really isn't the case. All of the operations personnel work without utility grid electricity every day. On any emergency response you don't use it. The dispatch centers have plenty of generator power to keep themselves fully operational. The fires themselves are run by incident...

    Terrorism attack on California power grid

    That's a concern. First responders in general are not reliant on public utilities. They use them but they can work with backups as simple as AA batteries. If terrorists wanted to cause a fire siege in SoCal they might try to hurt the power grid at the same time. The unavailability of TV...

    Terrorism attack on California power grid

    You're saying that a power outage could be as big a deal as 9/11. I understand that millions of Angelenos not getting to watch American Idol and twitter about it afterwards would be an economic disruption. I even bet a few old folks would croak from heat stroke (a number far smaller than the...

    Iran broadcasts bombing of Tel Aviv and US aircraft carrier

    As regards Libya, I'd be interested in knowing what the French contributed. They were running sorties out of air bases in southern France. One problem with English-language news is that it badly glosses over non-Anglophile news. As for Yugoslavia the Euro nations faced a lot of technical...

    Terrorism attack on California power grid

    Doesn't this strike you as rather feeble and impotent. After 9/11 we saw terrorists as cunning adversaries who could kill thousands and strike at major symbolic targets without us even having the time to react. If the best they can pull off these days is taking the power out they've been...

    Anne Coulter: GOP Crafts Plan to Wreck The Country, Lose Voters

    That's a lot of 'common sense' opinion but it has no bearing in reality. Turnout in 2008 was the highest it's been since 1968. The highest turnout in 4 decades. You can blame the election results on folks staying home but the fact is that more decided to cast their ballot than during any...
