  • 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.

Five people were killed and more than a dozen others were injured in a shooting at an LGBTQ nightclub in Colorado, officials said.

The venue, Club Q, in Colorado Springs, described the shooting as a "hate attack," saying it was "devastated by the senseless attack on our community." At least 18 people were injured, officials said.

Police said they received the first call at about 11:57 p.m. on Saturday. They said a possible suspect was also injured and was in custody.

A suspect was among those who were transported to local hospitals, police said. The FBI was on the scene in Colorado Springs, officials said.

Club Q, on North Academy Boulevard, hosts a weekly drag show and live DJ on Saturday nights, according to its website.



Prayers for all involved and for the families that lost loved ones.

This is the kind of stuff I worry about with the spread of 'social' conservatism. When people become radicalized in it, bad things start to happen.

In the early 1970s, there was an attack on a gay bar that left 32 dead. That was long before the "social conservatism" you worry about.

The Social Conservatism ideology has been around since at least the 1960's.

Social conservatism is a concept born out of fascism. It was ripe in the regimes governed by Stalin, Hitler, Mousolini, and many other prominent movement's in the 1930's, 40's, and 50's.

If you're going to use it in the sense that I think you mean, some who fell in with Tecumseh held to "social conservatism," and it surfaced again with the Ghost Dance Movement. You can find it again in other places and other times and other cultures. That would mean it's already here and cross-cultural and apolitical as everything. As long as communism has been around, you would have "social conservative" communists, too.
