  • 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.

Biden’s recent statement to donors saying “it’s time to put Trump in a bullseye.”

Yet you blame my team all the time for things. People on the right... or the right...

Don't you understand that your team is the left?

Did she ever say what her "team" was? I don't recall her talking about her politics at all.

A polemical worldview is the very thing she was criticizing, and you are proving her point by trying to define her politics for her. That is what polemicists do.

I don't understand the team philosophy. You're claiming them but are they returning the favor? Or are you only useful when they want something in return? Teams work together for a collective outcome. If that isn't the situation you're misconstruing the term with another. It's not a team you're a fan.

She talks about politics all the time.

I've already answered this. I don't define her politics. I just notice them. They are out in the open for everyone to read.

It's potentially unkind to define somebody else's political identity, when they haven't stated it explicitly. It's making an assumption about somebody else about something you don't really know about. Just because @DaisyDay doesn't necessarily agree with your politics, doesn't mean she's on "the left" politically.

I understand that no political group agrees on everything and is not a monolith. We all are individuals. I would put money on it that you and Daisy would say I'm on the right. It's silly to try and say you have no clue if I'm on the right or left or center. Ole rjs330 is, well, I don't have any idea where he stands on the political spectrum. He could be on the right, the left or the center.

When he writes his posts I think to myself, that sounds like he's on the.... well I just don't have a clue.

Sorry I don't buy that. There's an old addage that says if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck it's a duck.

In Every single topic Dasy has posted on she has espoused leftist ideas and leftist thought. I have never once heard her present conservative thought or ideas ir even centrist or moderate ones.
Have you ever heard me sound like a leftist? Presentt liberal left ideas? No I certainly can make politcal judgements about someone based on what they say, who they vote for, who they like or don't like in the political area or based upon what they say on political topics. It's patently ridiculous to say I can't know or can't have a clue.

We are supposed to have discernment. It's not unkind to notice where someone stand or what someone says on every political issue and say so.

You never do this? You never label anyone?
That doesn't answer the question, but nice deflection! I don't insist on telling other people what "team" they have to take responsibility for.

Okay then, something we agree on.
Great!
Like said I don't have to tell you what you think.
No you certainly don't have to, so why don't you knock that off?

You tell us all what you think when you bang the keyboard. Your thoughts on things are not a mystery.
I would have thought that obvious. But you go further than that - you tell me what I think even after I have informed you otherwise. Have you ever considered asking a person what they think and accepting that they do indeed think the way they say than what you say even after correction?

Well just pointing out the difference since you brought up laws and such whn I was talking rhetoric. I was a bit confused as to why you brought up laws when I was talking rhetoric.
That is inaccurate to say that I" brought up laws"; I don't know what you mean by that. I brought up that one of the candidates is a convicted felon and adjudicated sexual assaulter and an admitted [kitty cat] grabber and rhetorically asked why you and your team (self-proclaimed team) want such a disaster of a man to be in charge.

Yeah they did. And it was wrong for him.too. The left has gone far overboard on that issue though.
Trump calls people on the left vermin and enemies of the people; Trump's choice for VP called him "America's Hitler" and yet, somehow, the left is to blame.

Just for grins and giggles I did a search on people calling Trump Hitler. I got page after page of hits of people calling g him Hitler or referring to him as being like Hitler is some fashion or another. Pretty much all leftists. Like 99.9%.
Cool story, bro.

You did it to a few times. I looked up your posts.
No, I have not called Trump Hitler - despite the Hitlerish rhetoric he employs on occasion

So anyway that's that.
There's that.
