  • 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 I've said, the problem in Washington, and I've dealt with extensively with Washington corruption, is that politicians and bureaucrats are worried about how things might look, particularly for their own futures. Concentrating on who is going to win the next election soon after someone is elected rather than doing the right thing is a major problem. Trump doesn't shift policies each week, or change his accent when approaching different audiences, you know what you are getting. He was voted in not because people loved his personality, but because he took stances that most Americans supported. There are still hundreds of thousands of children lost by the Biden administration, only a portion of been rescued, and many dangerous criminals that need to be deported. The runaway inflation caused by outrageous spending needs to be kept in check. And Trump will continue to address these problems. As to Democrats, many radical leaders have tried to hide their agendas from the people (the border is safe, secure, and closed, etc.) The radical arm of the Democratic Party, AOC, Mamdami, Omar, etc. and the people who really controlled the Biden administration are trying to destroy many of the policies and values that made our country great. Most of our presidents shared at least some of those values. It is a matter of how the Democrat base reacts, will so many continue to vote Democrat no matter who runs and see our nation destroyed, or will they reject the radical progressive agenda?

Taking the correct course of action that only has an effect for four years may not truly be right, especially if it could lead the party to lose the next four presidential elections.

As mentioned before, I'm neither Republican nor Democrat, but I believe both parties should remain strong to maintain checks and balances and prevent extreme policies from either side.

President Trump's immigration policy may be effective, but it is alienating 70% of Hispanic Americans. Without securing a majority of the Hispanic vote, neither party will be able to win national elections in the future. Consequently, unless the Democrats make major mistakes, they will have a significant advantage in the coming presidential elections, potentially keeping the GOP out of power for an extended period. Meanwhile, Democrats would be free to implement progressive policies without substantial checks and balances.

Do you believe that "doing the right thing today," while potentially conceding future elections to the Democratic Party and granting unchecked presidential power to a future Democratic president, would ultimately serve America's best interests?

The four years of fraud, the election interference including collusion between the executive branch and social media to defeat Trump, as well as collusion by the courts, the flooding of our nation with 10 to 20 million immigrants who were largely unvetted, the defund the police movement, and the woke policies caused the people to vote for a widely disliked and abrasive presidential candidate. Human trafficking reached a level in our country not seen since the Civil War. The Democratic Party is deeply fractured, with radical leaders in charge but a part of the base that does not believe in the promulgated policies. I am convinced that locating the hundreds of thousands of missing children, jailing criminals and deporting violent illegal criminals, stopping the crazy pork filled spending bills of Democrats, letting the parents decide about transitioning and what their children are taught in school rather than the state, stopping government sponsored drag queen shows for our children, curbing the runaway inflation, and supporting our law enforcement officers and military, that is, keeping the promises made, are essential to our future. Giving in to the authoritarians who will decide what kind of oven you use and what car you drive and what your child will be taught in school and what pronouns you must use and putting men in girls locker rooms will be the end of our nation.

Do you believe that none of these events will occur the next time Democrats win an election?
