  • 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.

Dick Cheney, America’s most powerful modern vice president and chief architect of the “war on terror,” who helped lead the country into the ill-fated Iraq war on faulty assumptions, has died, according to a statement from his family. He was 84.

“His beloved wife of 61 years, Lynne, his daughters, Liz and Mary, and other family members were with him as he passed,” the family said, adding that he died due to complications of pneumonia and cardiac and vascular disease.

“Dick Cheney was a great and good man who taught his children and grandchildren to love our country, and to live lives of courage, honor, love, kindness, and fly fishing,” the family added.

He wasn't a good man in my opinion and got us into two unnecessary wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

In fact, I think he had knowledge about what was going to take place on 9/11. Three weeks before,
he was on Meet the Press with the late Tim Russert. Russert asked Cheney what it would take
to bring Saddam down. Cheney said it would take a "Pearl Harbor type" event to get the American
people behind and invasion of Iraq. Sure enough, three weeks later, 9/11 happened. Cheney
then lied that Saddam was behind it, on order to get support for the invasion of Iraq, which turned
it into an Iran Shiet nation and gave rise to ISIS.

He and his daughter Liz Cheney turned against Trump because Trump opposed the war in
Iraq, and both Dick Cheney and Liz voted for Karmala Harris in the last presidential election.
