  • 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.

Please note - the AP has determined that the Tweet upon which I based this OP was fake and I fell for it. My only excuse is the case made about the extra space and my own viewing of the John Cornyn holiday Tweet in the blue section.

How did Ted Cruz respond to the latest mass shooting? By Tweeting* boilerplate that was copied, pasted and edited like a Mad Lib. We know this because there's a extra space after "horrific".

And the fact that he's* done it 12 times before.

*Most likely this is his social media person. We know he uses one because "he" once sent the exact same Tweet as John Cornyn.

Callous beyond words.

It brings to mind the story I once read about former VP Cheney saying that when he sent out condolence letters to families of slain soldiers they were signed with an electronic signature.

And it certainly is a poor reflection on Cruz' prayer life.

Why even have a person? Just use a bot. Sheesh. It's 2023!
The algorithm might call for common sense gun regulation supported by a majority of the American people. And then where would he be?
