  • 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 am curious why Republicans ignore Trump's wrong doing.

This is absolutely false! Too many on the left are clamoring, voting for and supporting just those types. I think someone is confused on where the fascism lies.
In your opinion, it's absolutely false.

Please read the definitions of socialism and communism and compare them to the scare tactics used by oligarchs and aspiring dictators.

Some people have too much CNN to form their opinions.

I did not get my definitions of communism and socialism from CNN or media.
I got it from 18 years of education, half of them taught by habited Catholic nuns.
From living in 4 different states--one blue, one purple, two bloodshed red--and seeing the terrible injustice in the latter two.
From visiting three different continents and countries with different types of governments, including a desperately poor country where I served in missions.
From extensive reading.
Do you always disparage the beliefs of others?

What are some examples of these "scare tactics" you refer to?
