  • 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.

Former President Donald Trump appears to have made remarkable gains of about 14 points among independents and 19 points with Latino voters relative to Vice President Kamala Harris in a new poll.
Clawing our way back on topic, we see threads like this occasionally. They typically turn out to be cherry picking from the crosstabs trying to find a positive signal in the random variation seen in the results from small subgroups in a larger poll. For some reason, the threads are never updated when the next poll shows a random swing in the other direction.

Well when you have an update on a swing in these subgroup maybe you can make history by providing an update.

How's that?
The Right is pretty pro-hunting, isn't it? That's what these folks are supposedly doing when they're bagging geese in the park. Perhaps I should've said "illegal hunting" instead of merely "out of season," since grabbing geese from a park isn't necessarily an issue of the season. Either way, there's plenty of illegal hunting happening in Trump Country, but I don't hear folks on the Right wringing their hands about it.

Out of season hunting is illegal hunting. All of the hunters that I know take illegal hunting seriously. As hunters, we respect the balance in the ecosystem, and want to keep it healthy. It's in our best interest as hunters to study and care for the ecosystem. Funds from licensing are used to help support this objective. Poachers work against this objective.

Sure, but "The Right" is far larger than the group of people who are responsible hunters.

Conservatism includes conservation and respect for the rule of law. I think that it's people who are liberal on these issues who are the problem; but that's just common sense.

Conservatism includes conservation and respect for the rule of law.

And yet, "conservatives" have, for decades, prioritized corporatism over environmental concerns. More recently, they've been making excuses for criminals, like tax dodgers with their efforts to defund the IRS, non-compliant cattle ranchers like the Bundys and their friends who aimed weapons at federal agents, and Trump with his myriad legal issues.

Then I guess a lot of folks voting Republican are liberal.

It was Nixon who started the EPA. I helped to correct you misconceptions; and we could go back an forth on this ad nauseam; but that would continue drag this thread off topic.

Let;s get back on topic.

They're called Neocons; but we Conservatives welcome these somewhat misguided seekers of Conservative values into our fold; so that we can mentor them. When they work with us; they help to propagate Conservative values.

I don't usually watch these debates. There's not much I find edifying. But last night was entertaining. Kamala wiped the floor with him.
Do you mean like when in her opening statement Kamala said something to the effect that what we were going to see in the debate was lies from the same old tired playbook; then she proceeded to lie about Trump form that tired old playbook?

At least he was honest enough to tell us her intentions. I'm not sure if she did that out of what little integrity that she might have, or if it came from a lack of mental faculties.

Either way, she not effective with her lies, to those with discernment.

It will be interesting to see how much more ground she loses with the voters after that display.

A small clean up was done though more could be removed. The anti-Haitian stuff needs to stop and is off topic.
Stick to the topc.
