  • 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.

He's not "attacking trees", it was a move against spending $28,000 in federal funds to plant 16 trees. I just planted 12 native trees on my property, it cost $15.00 from the county. These were small bare-root trees, maybe they were going to plant large trees? Article doesn't say, but native trees grow very quickly and the whole thing could be done for a lot less, especially if the church volunteered labor.

Wow, not being satisfied ruining the lives of human beings, he's progressing to attacking trees.
But if he goes for mosquitoes next I may have to give him faint praise.
The government taxes a lot of hard working people and then spends $28,000 of taxpayer money, plus the taxpayer money used to pay the salaries of federal employees involved in the administration of grants, to plant 16 trees! Meanwhile the so-called environmentalists, often involved in doomsday predictions just years away, use up massive amounts of jet fuel for their personal transportation--Bernie Sanders, AOC, John Kerry, etc.
