  • 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.

    How a Dubious Claim of Cement Milkshakes in Portland Became a Right-Wing Meme

    LOL! Yep, you're right about her being one of the most talked about members of Congress. The Right is stunned that someone that stupid was actually elected! The proverbial "What did AOC say today?" segments are our comic relief at the end of the news day. Yes, we laugh, although, admittedly, if...

    How a Dubious Claim of Cement Milkshakes in Portland Became a Right-Wing Meme

    I will say that the conservative media I listen to & watch is very careful to verify their facts. If they didn't, they'd get massacred by the left media, then they'd go out of business. So what would be their reason to purposely lie? (Disclaimer: I'm refer to substantial media outlets. I suppose...

    Fascism is the step right before socialism, as it hinges on big central government power. When the central government has gained enough power, it can then confiscate wealth, including the means of production (corporations). You're confusing "capitalism" with "corporatism". Capitalism = free...

    Ok, but if you really want it to disappear, you have to explain to "newbies" or possible newbies to Naziism why it's wrong. They need to hear to the counter-argument.

    How a Dubious Claim of Cement Milkshakes in Portland Became a Right-Wing Meme

    0000000000000 It's your choice to not debate Nazis or any other group you dislike. However, the "legitimacy" excuse for not debating others in general is a very lame one, claimed by those who can't or won't defend their own positions. The fact that you brought up AOC as an example is, sadly, a...

    How a Dubious Claim of Cement Milkshakes in Portland Became a Right-Wing Meme

    Again, let me point out that you're conflating (merging) issues here. In your first paragraph above, you're referencing actual Nazis that STARTED a world WAR. My family lost their homeland due to that war and came to the US as refugees. I absolutely would fight to my dying breath against the...

    You never know until you try. And if you fail, hurling an object (or your fist) at them will not change their mind either. (Unless you think it will. I don't.)

    You'd be surprised how much a sincere heart will touch a misguided heart who's not too far gone. I will pray for you, trusting you are not too far gone. :)

    How a Dubious Claim of Cement Milkshakes in Portland Became a Right-Wing Meme

    Actually... yes. Clearly, those people are internally disturbed with hatred. I'm sure many have not actually carried on a serious conversation defending their views or listening to opposing views. Given that opportunity, former racists HAVE found their way out of their misguided views. And, if...

    How a Dubious Claim of Cement Milkshakes in Portland Became a Right-Wing Meme

    We have a different definition of "fight." I fight with words, prayers, voting and other legal actions. If they physically attack me or do other harm, I would defend people and property with physical force. Otherwise, I defend their freedom to speak and assemble peacefully.

    How a Dubious Claim of Cement Milkshakes in Portland Became a Right-Wing Meme

    I agree on your first point: I also oppose fascism, and do stand up to those who oppose oppression such as oppressing free speech. However, Antifa IS fascist. The do exactly what they claim they're against. Do you see that your second statement reveals how much assumption you hold in your head...

    How a Dubious Claim of Cement Milkshakes in Portland Became a Right-Wing Meme

    The sources are actually films of Antifa attacking. Since you're defending Antifa, will you please explain their motives? Seriously. I see that they come out to oppose free speech, primarily. Such as conservative speakers on campuses. So they're clearly on the left. Is that their single motive...

    So, you have proof that Ngo chanted "Jews will not replace us" and ran down protestors with a car? Shouldn't he be in prison for running down people with a car?

    1. I take it you haven't seen the destruction that Antifa has caused, the most destructive being in Berkeley, CA about a year ago. They bashed in windows and property and caused fires. Looked like a war zone. Frightening videos. Have you seen them? Antifa always carries their weapons and uses...

    So now you're saying that Ngo did something so he had an excuse to start shooting? Then why didn't he start shooting? (He was clearly being attacked, as shown in films.) Did he even have a gun? It was clear he immediately retreated, holding up his hands to show he was not going to fight (or...
