  • 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.

New York State Republican Party leaders voted unanimously to disband a Young Republican organization from operating at the state level following a report about a group chat containing racist and antisemitic language.

The Executive Committee of the New York Republican State Committee, which is composed of the 62 County Chairs and elected officers of the committee, votedon Friday to suspend the authorization of the New York State Young Republicans to operate at the state level.

As a youth political organization, the New York State Young Republicans aimed to engage younger voters and nurture future party leaders before the suspension.

The decision to suspend the group's authorization follows a Politico report this week about group chat messages exchanged by the leaders of Young Republican organizations throughout the country. The messages included racial stereotypes about black people and jokes about sending people to the gas chambers, as well as jokes about sexually assaulting political opponents.

I have faith that not all Young Republicans are like these members. It sure irks me though to know that there are people out there who still feel it is okay to ridicule other races, ethnic groups or peoples different from them. Love everybody - God created everyone.
