  • 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.

The Secret Service does the same for Trump and Vance, and they all make campaign stops. As usual, you're trying to make a mountain out of a molehill.

I wonder if this piece of news will help Kamala Harris with the undecided voters?
This piece of news would definitely not change my mind on who I am voting for (3rd party), cos I know that the DNC promoted something along the lines of a sacrifice to Moloch, as I have just watched a video by Kap Chatfield explaining this about 20 minutes ago.

If I was a restaurant owner, I would keep any politician out of my establishment (no campaigning allowed), regardless if he/she was on the left or the right. Restaurants are meant to be places to enjoy good food, not watch a political circus.

Jeremiah 7:31 (NKJV): "And they have built the high places of Tophet, which is in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire, which I did not command, nor did it come into My heart."

Moloch/Tophet explained:

Is that your response to those customers who were kicked out of that restaurant there?

I do agree with you on this. Maybe, we should not allow any candidate to make campaign stops at places that people eat at, or worship at. Politics does not go well with dinner, church, or school. :) There is a reason why we keep politics away from the dinner table as a society in the USA.

As long as customers are not being kicked out of the restaurant, there is no objection by myself and other Americans with political campaigns choosing to eat dinner and meet the normal customers of that restaurant.

That is true, so I do agree with you there. Forcefully kicking people out of a restaurant though is overkill, and unconstitutional, or at the very least, kinda rude for a politician to do. Kamala should not have kicked the diners out, though, if a diner has a gun, I would do a sweep of the place to check for any bad actors or violent people inside the building.

That is the Secret Service decision. I did a news story once when a first lady came to town and was astonished at how much security was present.
Interesting stuff. Which news company did you work for? Yes, security is important stuff. Every time I go overseas, I am grateful for airport security to protect the travelers, aircraft, and airport. So, we should be grateful that our politicians are protected.

I was late for work a few years ago when they shut down the freeway exit so Pence could ride by. Who do these people think they are?

I think the biggest issue is that after a month, the only thing we have learned about kamala is that she likes domino's. Her basement strategy is the only think keeping her campaign alive.

It was actually a story about a school that helped seniors choose Medicare prescription plans. Laura Bush was there to thank the sixth graders.
Nice. Was this for a school newspaper company, or a major media company?

Domino's is gross. Heck, Aldi pizza, Tombstone or Jack's is better. :)

We can say that her pizza choice is dicey at best, but the dominoes seem to fall into the wrong direction politically speaking.

Whew, two game related puns.

That is awesome. Thank you for not working for mainstream media such as CNN, NBC or Fox. God bless you for that. :)

Have you thought about getting into the press again, and being a journalist?

Yeah, but remember, no one is past their prime. It is good that you work on newsletters and volunteering. That still counts. Hopefully, the newsletters are Christian, or help one turn to our faith.
