  • 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

And it need not be an all in or nothing stance we make. We can vote and support a candidate because of certain issues while disagreeing and criticizing on others.

This js s good example. Voting and supporting to secure the border and undo woke is understandable. Threatening military action and economic punishment on allies is quite another.

When we vote for someone we do not owe them loyalty. Rather, they owe us accountability.

....yes, but the first step is:
  1. Declaration of Inability: The VP and a majority of principal officers of the executive departments (Cabinet) send a written declaration to Congress stating the President can't perform their duties.

Given that the VP has dubious ability to perform his own duties, I’m not banking on that being how he leaves office.

Dear Jonas,
Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only a boat that landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT

I wonder to what degree they share his delusions. I think, rather, they are just trying to get as much out of their brief moments of fame as possible. Fame that will soon enough become infamy.

Interesting parallel. German population was overwhelmingly concentrated in the Western areas. The Junker farmer system of he East was quite inefficient but they speculated including the Ukrainian wheat fields in the German empire would resolve the food supply issues for the German people, But few Germans actually wanted to live in the East. Greenland is mainly a barren wasteland useful for its mined resources and its location but little more. How many Americans would actually want to live there?

Do we live in a world where Western democracies dominate and shape the narrative or do we live in a multipolar world defined by spheres of influence is the question here. The Chinese and Russians want the latter, Europe and until recently the USA wanted the former.

The consequence of choosing the latter is condemning vast swathes of the planet to life in servitude to oppressive dictatorships.
