  • 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.

The Soviet Union had a Constitution guaranteeing more rights than our Constitution, but they took God out of the equation.
Unlike the Divine US Constitution that is replete with references to the Christian God and religion.

The Soviet Union had a Constitution guaranteeing more rights than our Constitution, but they took God out of the equation. It's an attack on the Judeo/Christian culture that built America. An attack on the family, on virtue, hidden under the guise of "equity" and "tolerance." Yet they are the intolerant ones, not allowing alternative voices on college campuses because they say they are right. When did "right" mean bigotry and antisemitism? You could see the anger in Minneapolis and the lack of respect for the laws, laws that were passed through the democratic process. It was their disobeying and twisting of the law that created the disaster of human trafficking in such massive numbers. How little we hear from them about the victims.
That is a bunch of word salad. The Soviet Union had a constitution but not like the USA at all. It was mostly propaganda.

Not to worry, if the American people keep supporting the powers that be, the US Constitution will also be mostly propaganda.

The current administration seems to be ahead of the curve and is already treating it that way.

Article 122 states that "women in the U.S.S.R. are accorded equal rights with men in all spheres of economic, state, cultural, social and political life."[3] Specific measures on women included state protection of the interests of mother and child, prematernity and maternity leave with full pay, and the provision of maternity homes, nurseries, and kindergartens.[3]
Article 123 establishes equality of rights for all citizens "irrespective of their nationality or race, in all spheres of economic, state, cultural, social, and political life."[3] Advocacy of racial or national exclusiveness, or hatred or contempt, or restrictions of rights and privileges on account of nationality, were to be punished by law.[3] Freedom of religion and speech
Article 124 of the constitution guaranteed freedom of religion, including separation of (1) church and state, and (2) school from church.[3

They seemed pretty serious about it. The Wiki article mentions the opposition Stalin had to Article 124, and in the below article they talk about enforcing their bill of rights in the 1977 Constitution:

According to the Network Contagion Research Institute’s new report, "Democratic Socialists of America: Policy, Advocacy and Narrative Convergence with Hostile Foreign States," the organization has been engaging in a dynamic called "narrative convergence," advancing narratives that stoke domestic unrest and delegitimize state institutions while advancing talking points aligned with "hostile foreign governments."

Wake up America or we will lose our country.
I called it.

A tiny, left-leaning group is going to take down America?
When does the mantle of victimhood become a burden?
History have show that a tiny group can definitely do that. Just ask the CIA. We, and the Russians have been doing that for decades.

Freedom of religion and speech​


Article 124 of the constitution guaranteed freedom of religion, including separation of (1) church and state, and (2) school from church.[3

Wouldn't the 1977 Soviet Constitution be more relevant? Using an older Constitution is like a Sovereign Citizen using the Articles of Confederation to get out of a traffic ticket.

I think that our good friend had accepted your assertion that the Soviet Constitution existed.
They just countered that it was not closely followed by the leadership.

Reiterating provisions within it (with no commentary, no less), completely disregards the point made: it was largely propaganda.

Funny how different people see different things when looking at the same thing. Many people think equality is a good thing.
It is called a "Rorschach Test."

My point, and it applies to both Soviet Constitutions, is that it takes moral people to enforce the Constitution. In their Constitutions the people were supposedly granted even more rights than we have here. The reality was that they suppressed Christianity and Judaism and the state religion was essentially atheism.

Just spitting facts. Communism is a cancer that only spreads, consumes, and destroys. Which is why it must be snipped at the bud.
