  • 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.

As a result of being convicted of financial fraud, Marie Le Pen (leader of the far right
political party if France), has been legally prohibited from runnning in the next
election for prime minister in France.

Curiously, Le Pen, in the past, has expressed the opinion that politicians who
engage in financial fraud SHOULD BE BARRED FROM POLITICS, I suppose that
she meant any politician BUT HERSELF.

Although being barred from politics, IS within the French legal punishments for
financial fraud, Le Pen is claiming that the ruling was motivated by "politics".
This seems suspiciously like a plicy of "Apply the rule of law to my political
opponents, but NOT to me."
