  • 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 Obama senior advisor David Axelrod faced criticism for questioning the ability of storm-ravaged rural voters in western North Carolina to get to the polls next month compared to their liberal "upscale" urban counterparts.

Axelrod, who was born and raised on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, noted during an episode of his podcast "Hacks on Tap" last Wednesday that the liberal city of Asheville, North Carolina, is a "blue dot" in an otherwise deep-red part of the battleground state, which was the epicenter of destruction from Hurricane Helene.
