  • 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

Oh geeze. Lawfare time, everyone knows Im not a bigot. Ive been victimized / abused by women a LOT, and I came to a point where I wasn't taking it anymore. I have 4 daughters and a wife, and I am the minority who gets stepped on.

But this isn’t the place for that - But I feel the need to defend myself again.

Did you say something? Or is that a sign?
I edited it to say I am sorry to hear you are having a hard time.

I was going to write something stupid but then kept reading. It is often easy to forget that people have to deal with a lot of stuff these days.

Why should be believe a person who was jumping through all of the immigration hoops to “do it the right way”?
Why should we believe a person who claims was jumping through all the immigration hoops to "do it the right way?" This is what I am talking about. Pure political hyperbolic emotional manipulation of the masses to push an agenda that only benefits politicians at the expense of the American people.

You should read what some Christians are saying about empathy. You'd love it the most. :oldthumbsup:
Yes. We are the villains because we refuse to succumb to weaponized empathy tactics. That is why I have to say I have to first have a heart to pull on my heart strings enough to ignore logic, common sense, and reality.

From yon OP: “Her deportation case was dismissed on Jan. 26, and she currently has legal status to remain in the United States, though she is not yet a citizen.”

A Court seems to believe that she’s un-deportable. That would suggest that she had done all the correct things well enough.

Please cease your strawmanning of my posts, thanks.

It also says, "Engan said she acknowledged overstaying her visa and was taken into custody at the Otay Mesa Detention Center for nine days." So the whole mess was completely avoidable and was entirely her fault. So no, she did not "do all the correct things well enough." A part of your article you must have overlooked. Again, pure hyperbolic emotionalism at work intended to pull at the heart strings of the pliable. But in reality, she was detained because of her status as an immigrant who overstayed her visa. Not because ICE is some gustapo making people suffer for the fun of it. Period.

They’re not doing it for fun. Detaining people and holding them at these private prisons is big business for this administration’s big donors. ICE is only working to make sure these people get their money’s worth and a return on their investment.

You're not doing anything for her. You're just trying to guilt-trip people. And for what?

Why this attitude?
She plays the victim a little too well... Except she should have kept the Hawaii trip out of the narrative.

That's not her fault. For whatever reason, the OP story I came across was from a Hawaiian newspaper.

Well she obviously told someone. I'm sure everybody would love to be in Hawaii right now, but probably most of us aren't wealthy enough like the woman in the OP.

...She probably drives a Lincoln Navigator, and sports a Louis Vuitton.

So not disputing the facts as stated? That she was denied her insulin and that her credit card got charged for purchases made while she was in custody?
Except she should have kept the Hawaii trip out of the narrative.
She has family there and was visiting them - first sentence
Well she obviously told someone. I'm sure everybody would love to be in Hawaii right now, but probably most of us aren't wealthy enough like the woman in the OP.
She isn't in Hawaii right now. She was visiting family. Would she be more deserving of sympathy had she been visiting relatives in Mississippi?
...She probably drives a Lincoln Navigator, and sports a Louis Vuitton.

Jelly much? Weird speculation, as only those you consider beneath you economically can be abused by the government? Or is it that anyone can be
abused but only those beneath you deserve sympathy? But that doesn't track either...
Oh geeze. Lawfare time, everyone knows Im not a bigot.
How would anyone know that? What does "bigot" mean in this context?
Ive been victimized / abused by women a LOT, and I came to a point where I wasn't taking it anymore. I have 4 daughters and a wife, and I am the minority who gets stepped on.

But this isn’t the place for that - But I feel the need to defend myself again.
I'm sorry you feel victimized by the women in your life. I hope it gets better for you.

Nah, you guys get plenty emotional when people you care about are threatened. You just don't care about people like the one in the OP.
