  • 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.

I wonder what would happen if I said something similar about every democrat on this forum, behaving in lockstep. First of all I wouldn't do that. Second of all, you feeling comfortable in doing exactly that to me and my peers, shows me there's a real double standard going on here.
The Will Rogers 93 year old quip pops to mind: “I don’t belong to any organized political faith. I am a Democrat. - April, 1933

The Democratic Party is famously unable to achieve the level of unity-of-party that the GOP enjoys.
The assertions would fall in the face of that historic record.

It is so sad that we must be so vigilant with him, like with a naughty child that we cannot trust.
Oooo, let me be “Mister Wilson”! Please please please please please!

Show me some links to articles or posts on this forum that show some outrage from liberals when Obama murdered 4 US citizens outside of this country and then I just might concede there is at least some consistency from liberals on this issue.
What is consistent is the bad case of whataboutism.

I'm not sure a lot of people think it through.

'So, bearing in mind that we're on a Christian site, is it your contention that if Obama does something wrong, then that excuses Trump from doing wrong?

crickets

'So, if you think that it was OK for Trump to kill people extra judicially, then you are happy to support Obama's decision when you think he did the same thing?

crickets
