  • 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.

I want Trump to be crowned as king, and I don’t care who knows it. I don’t want him to be king because I think he is perfect; I want him to be crowned so we can stop pretending that he isn’t a king while he governs like one for four years.

I am as happy as the next red-blooded male that Donald Trump is back in the White House. Although I am an outsider, I have watched with joy as the Donald has signed a zillion Executive Orders that are dismantling the Woke Industrial Complex in real time. I must admit that, as a northern neighbor, I am not thrilled about the tariff threats, and I hope they don’t raise our prices up here too much. Of course, Trudeau and his cronies, in what little time they have left, could simply secure the border; but they are idiots, so they won’t do that and instead will threaten to go tit for tat with the largest economy in the world.

In any event, while watching Trump enact or dismantle various laws with executive fiat, I can’t help but chuckle. I laugh because the prevailing and foundational narrative in both the United States and abroad is that our societies are animated by a love for “democracy” and the “will of the people.” We are “free men!” we are told, who are not governed by tyrants and despots like our ancestors. Through blood, sweat, and tears, and with the indomitable human spirit, we can claim our birthright, which is liberty for all men, regardless of race, religion, or origin.

Plato's ideal form of government was a benevolent dictatorship ruled by philosopher kings. He believed that this type of government would provide the greatest chance for citizens to experience justice, happiness, and peace.
