  • 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.

Just exactly who is Kamala Harris?

I did not know about most of those details in that video in post 1

In one clip Bernie Sanders is asked if Kamala is really abandoning her liberal views / ideals... and Bernie says no she is not, "rather she is being pragmatic and saying what she needs to say to get elected". At 8 min: 40 seconds into that video

WOW!!

Because I know who Kamala Harris is in a multidimensional way, not focusing on one issue, I know that she would prioritize things like comprehensive sex ed (teaching abstinence as one, even preferable, out of several ways to avoid pregnancy.) Affordable birth control. I have heard the pill is now available OTC (certainly better to consult with doctors.)
Uninsured women are less likely to get the care they need to have healthy babies in red states. Progress Radio says some OB/GYNs in red states refuse to see women until the second trimester. They are afraid miscarriages will be misconstrued as abortions and they'll go to jail.
Economic help in the first year of life is pro-family. Day care subsidies are pro-family.
This woman you are implying is monstrous based on one issue would prevent many abortions by preventing pregnancies.
Women who are pregnant would get prenatal care and economic help to give their babies a good start.
I don't judge her opponent on one issue. I judge him on his character first of all (a deal breaker), his threat to democracy, his position on Ukraine and the future of Europe, climate change and the future of our planet, xenophobic tendencies, stacking the courts, Project 2025. Many issues.

Democracy is not a virtue and continuing a proxy war which Ukraine will lose at a tremendous cost to itself, is not good policy. But Neocons never understand the cost of US Imperialism. The amount of suffering and pain they cause.

In 2019 to get a vote she went farther left than Sanders and Warren and now she has flip-flopped for votes. The evidence for me that she is not genuine is she is not allowing the press to press her on her stances and is possibly not intelligent enough to answer those questions. With the Oprah interview, she couldn't even explain how she would lower people's cost of living. I think the non-idealogues see this too and will either not vote or vote for Trump.

I just saw this -- and now I have a lot of questions...


Who exactly is Harris?

This chart shows no-limit on late term abortions in 7 states

When asked about this - the news moderators try to step in on behalf of Harris so she never has to ask if she is backing all that wild business about no limit.
It would seem to me that proponents of abortion should leastwise consider the following and set their limits somewhere within the survival rate as listed below .... unless there is imminent danger to the mothers life.

The survival rate for babies born at different gestational ages is:

  • 24 weeks: About 40%

  • 25 weeks: About 50%

  • 26 weeks: About 60%

  • 27 weeks: About 70%

  • 28 weeks: About 80%

Having a say in their government's policies should be a human right. Democracy supports human rights.
And Ukraine is fighting all alone--with financial.help from NATO.
The imperialists are Russian--and NATO nations need to help Ukraine because they might be next.

Our LordJesus Christ is King and democracy is not moral in of itself. Rather it leads to Oligarchy which best describes the USA at this point, with an impotent executive who can't actually rule effectively.

Ukraine is not fighting alone and to accuse Russia of Imperialism when it is the USA who has invaded more countries to imposed its values on them is rich.

There are no real Christian theocracies that I know of except the Vatican City. Just as God allowed Israel to have a King when they requested one (king Saul) I do not think that any particular governmental system is favored by God except one that is just. Is Russia just? This Jesuit article suggests no in so much as this is not a "just war." Just war theory and Ukraine: Why military action against Russia is justifiable

Russia should just join NATO and chill. Putin asked about this in 2017 and the USA had no objections. Putin Says He Discussed Russia's Possible NATO Membership With Bill Clinton

Harris reminds me of a bigger version of the Claudine Gay and Harvard University issue. A political appointment rather than one of merit based on DEI ideology. I mean Biden literally said "I want a black women as VP".

When that happens all the proper processes are bypassed, the checks and balances that ensure the right thing is done, the respect is given and due process happens. That is what the west knows is how we build a strong and humane society.

Because the due process has not been followed it is logical and inevitable that there are going to be skeletons in the closest. Thats because things were not checked, scrutinised as should be the case with merit.

Now the Left are busily running around trying to plug the leaking holes in their make believe charade. The more the truth and facts come out the more their unreality is exposed.

I couldn't get anything on the link you posted or maybe misunderstood the map but I found this:

"In nine states and Washington, D.C., abortion is legal for the entirety of pregnancy, until the moment of birth, for any reason. In one state, elective abortion is legal through the second trimester, which concludes at the end of the 27th week of pregnancy. In another four states, abortion is legal through the 24th week of pregnancy, regardless of whether the unborn child has already reached viability."

"Minnesota, the home state of Harris’ running mate, Gov. Tim Walz, has some of the most permissive pro-abortion laws in the country. Walz signed legislation in January 2023 that declared abortion “a fundamental right” and prohibited local governments from taking any action that interferes with that legal right. This provided even stronger protections for Minnesota’s laws on abortion, which permit the procedure until the moment of birth."

This is barbaric like the ancients in the Old Testament days. I thought it was just West Virginia because of Trump and now I learned they my state NM falls in murdering babies.

The video in the op is obviously propaganda. There is the usual insinuative hearsay, and the conflating of sentiments like "values" with "positions" on policy, which I've seen used before.

I do think Bernie Sanders is being sincere when he says she's being pragmatic and doing what she feels she needs to do to get elected, yet not abandoning her ideals. In the original interview he explains that because of citizens united, campaigns now have to have big money donors in order to even compete for market share. The video seemed to want to make it sound like Bernie is saying Kamala will say whatever she needs to say or look however she needs to look, to fool people.

Then there's the misrepresentation that she lied about listening to Tupac. What actually happened was this one guy asked her, what kind of music does Kamala Harris listen to? Then before she answered, the other guy asked what did you listen to when you were stoned? She answered the first guy not the second.

Here is a video telling the truth. Go to 5:10 on this video and watch till the end.
