  • 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

It was not obvious. First, it's sad when it comes to such serious issues that official White House accounts are in the business of posting "memes". Second, there was no indication that the pic had been altered. Third, just because someone follows the official WH page doesn't mean they saw or followed Noem's page. She may be able to sue for them misrepresenting her. Her lawyer already said it was defamation.


They shouldn't be altering images PERIOD. If they will do it for this, they will do it for other things which means THEY CAN NOT BE TRUSTED.
If the original hadn't been posted by White House staff ahead of time then I'd agree that ham-handed deception was at play, because those streams of tears obviously aren't real.

It's quite obviously a meme.
It is not. This is the only text, purporting to be an announcement of the arrest.

It happened, and more. ICE literally has immunity to do what they wish. Including constantly placing Americans in deportation centers with no family notification only to have family members realize where they, and have to have a judge make them release that American. If they want to go after criminals, I have no problem with that. But what is happening now is just out of control, and again, without accountability.
Off topic. I know this is a common strategy: you get cornered and try to change the subject. Actually, this is an admission that we are right about the original subject... terrorizing believers inside their own church is evil, and the perpetrators should be prosecuted.
Thank you.

What's untrue about the text? As for the two photos, does either one change what's written in that text? How does the one of her crying change what happened?

Nothing, that's why it was clearly not intended as a meme, but rather allegedly information.

She was not crying. That is changing what happened. It is disinformation, not information. Propaganda.

If you want your church to be safe from terrorist invaders, declare it to be an abortion clinic.

I don't know. A church didn't protect George Tiller.

Of course it's propaganda. Blatantly obvious propaganda. Calling it a meme doesn't change that. Instead it actually it enforces it.

LOL, yes the claim of "off topic" a common strategy.

There are people, even on this thread, who think this was a harmless thing to do. Traumatizing children is a good thing!
Cannot be allowed. They will be doing this in every church across the country if it is normalized. These folks have no conscience. No decency. No fear of God whatsoever.
Churches in blue cities are going to have to start locking their doors when the service begins and assign door wardens.

That's on the increase already since 2015.

This thread is kind of amazing. With all that's going on all around the country with the way ICE is not only stomping on peoples rights, the rights of American's, the literal assassination of Americans, because Alex was frankly literally disarmed and assassinated. In light of all that what gets people riled up is a inside church protest where unlike ICE, no one was killed. No one was wrongfully assaulted. No babies were peppered sprayed. There are no federal agencies lying on their behalf. No Americans wrongfully sent to deportation centers for days if not weeks.

There are plenty of threads on those subjects if you wish to comment on them.

Perhaps it is because the people in the church

1. walked away
2. Did not throw frozen bottles of water at the rioters
3. Did not shoot fire works at the rioters
4. Did not scream and blow whistles just inches from the rioters faces
5. Did not follow the rioters out of the church screaming at them
6. Were not armed
7. Did not physically fight with the rioters

Could that be a possibility?

The juxtaposition is warranted here in this thread.
