  • 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 a keynote speech laden with biblical references and patriotic fervor, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth addressed the National Religious Broadcasters' (NRB) Freedom 250 Celebration by drawing a direct line from the Bible to the founding of the United States.

Billed as the headline speaker for the NRB 2026 International Christian Media Convention at the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center in Nashville, Tennessee, Hegseth, 45, began his address by crediting God and praising President Donald Trump as "a fierce defender of Christians and people of faith." He highlighted administration actions like rescinding a so-called gender-affirming care guidance, ending taxpayer-funded abortions in certain contexts, and supporting religious liberty.

Hegseth noted that concepts like individual dignity, natural rights, limited government and religious freedom stem from Christianity — not secular or collectivist ideologies. Quoting John Adams, he warned that the U.S. Constitution suits only a "moral and religious people," and invoked George Washington's faith-driven leadership, including the 1775 establishment of the Chaplain Corps.

Hmmm, maybe he should study history.
