• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • 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.

Internal documents obtained by AFL show the board characterizing “supporters of the former president” as constituting “most of the Domestic Terrorism threat” in the United States. The documents also classified traits such as having served “in the military” and being “religious” as “indicators of extremists and terrorism,” citing unnamed research. It is not shocking to me.

It's not really shocking to anyone, but probably for different reasons.

This report wasn't some opinion piece. It was a finding of fact by a government agency. Also, the finding was that most domestic terrorist activities are perpetrated by people who support convicted felon Trump. NOT that most supporters of convicted felon Trump are domestic terrorists. That that distinction is lost in your OP is telling.

It was not a finding of fact. There were trying to figure ways to get into the community, and were talking about doing it under the guise of "health" as can be seen below:

Disturbingly, the meeting notes go on to discuss reclassifying political dissent as a “public health” crisis.

The very next speaker proposed another solution: reclassify “concerning” behavior into the “public health catcher’s mitt” so that " "mother and teacher“ feel comfortable coming forward.

Part of nearly everyone’s Federal oath of office includes the phrase, “against all enemies, foreign and domestic”. If we don’t know whom that might be, we should find out as soon as is practicable, otherwise why make people take such an oath?
