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.

In 1972 the news would report “Senator XYZ, (a liberal Republican), said passage of Senate bill 123 was still possible…”, because yeah, we had both conservative Democrats and liberal Republicans. Aligning party with ideology was a bad move.

The party evolved, as all things do. Humphrey likely would have as well. Or, if not, were he to still be so anti-abortion that he could no longer fit in the current Democratic party, he might have switched to the GOP. Others have, including the current occupant of the Oval Office.
Consider this: would the GOP of previous decades have accepted a convicted felon as their standard bearer? Remember the party of "law and order" and "family values"?
Does this mean the Democratic Party has moved as far to the left as the GOP has to the right? I don't believe so. If they had, they'd have fought tooth and nail for more socialized programs like single payer health care, instead of settling for the Heritage Foundation plan. Whereas the Republicans have moved so far to the right that they've embraced an authoritarian leader.
-- A2SG, though, there are some who seem to regret that now.....

I am regretting that the purging of the country of the enemies of the Leader has taken so long.

He would have gotten away with it too, were it not for those meddling founding fathers and their checks and balances on executive power.
