  • 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 was way too hawkish for my liking...

I know some on the left half of the spectrum started spontaneously liking him after he and his daughter became vocal Trump opponents, but I've always thought that was a bit revisionist and short-sighted.

When you send that many people to their death based on lies and faulty intel, he would have to do something pretty spectacular like cure cancer to redeem himself in my book.

Thoughts and prayers to the family.

If this is a eulogy thread, then my actual thoughts can wait a decent amount of time - at least until after burial. If this is a bash the dead thread, I'll leave that to others.

It's just a "newsworthy thread" like when any other prominent politician passes away.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters on Tuesday afternoon only that Trump was "aware" that Dick Cheney died.

"I know the president is aware of the former vice president's passing. And as you saw, flags have been lowered to half staff in accordance with statutory law"
