  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

"Exploited" implies that communism wasn't/isn't a threat. That's just been in the last century. Before that the US objected to foreign involvement in Mexico, but was tied up with other things at the time (cough, American Civil War, cough). Then there was longstanding friction with Spain, culminating with the Spanish-American War.

Now, if you want some "fun" reading, look into the Banana Wars.
Ever read Smedly Butler on the subject?

It wasn't the threat that Reagan made it out to be. Tanks were never going to reach Honduras, much less Texas (as Reagan once intoned),

Yes fraudulent falsification of business records is just like standing up to a racist-premise government regime.
The claim that Trump falsified business records never entered into the discussion. All that was said - and usually all that is said - is that Trump is a felon as though that's all that needs to be said.

Which brings up another question: Nelson Mandela was a member of the ANC and founded the "Spear of the Nation." The ANC was considered a terrorist organization and Mandela a terrorist. Was that claim justified?

I wasn't talking about personal values. I was speaking only politically. Not sure why you would post something silly like that. America first baby. Politically.
I thought the whole point of MAGA was to impose Christian values politically.

At least Trump admits it’s about the oil, Bush never has
Doesn't really make it any better - just means Trump is completely shameless.

In some ways it's worse, because we've got people here actively cheering him on in spite of it.

And all those addicts in Kentucky and West Virginia thought he was fighting for them.

In a country with a normal, functioning legal system, that should be all that need be said.

Hey! The Trump appointed legal system is working just fine. The pedophile approval poll has him at 97%. The friendly narco traffickers is up 4% to 84%.

It has been dismantled none the less. God bless our peace president and winner of the woke European socialist fake sport peace prize.

Might as well. With Trinidad and Tobago in your coalition of the willing, you can accomplish anything.
