  • 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.

Defense Sec. Hegseth vows 'full accountability' for those responsible

“We left billions, tens of billions of dollars worth of equipment behind, brand new trucks. You see them display it every year on their little roadway, someplace where they have a road, and they drive, you know, waving the flag and talking about America. ... That’s all the top of the line stuff,” Trump said. “I think we should get a lot of that equipment back.”
