  • 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.

'Mockery of the rule of law': GOP senators vow to stonewall Dems after Trump conviction​

Sens. Mike Lee (R-UT) and J.D. Vance (R-OH) lead a list of eight senators who are now promising to stonewall funding increases, political appointments and Democrat-backed legislation under the administration of President Joe Biden, according to a letter dated Friday.

The lawmakers are joined by Sens. Tommy Tuberville, Eric Schmitt, Marsha Blackburn, Rick Scott, Roger Marshall and Marco Rubio.

While Trump's name does not appear in the letter, Lee's accusations that Democrats have "turned our judicial system into a political cudgel" mirrors the former president's argument that he is the victim of a political witch hunt.

So their solution is to turn our legislative system into a political cudgel to assuage Trump's hurt feelings.

If Republicans wanted to convince us they were the better people, they could try saying “We’re above this” and then following through on that claim.
