  • 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.

Trump is right to call them out. By the time the people realize the consequences of overly-generous government handouts and no police it may be too late. The money will run out, the elites in charge will seize property in the name of the "public good." Crime will be rampant and the government will step in with their own strict enforcement, as they have done before around the world. We have seen the beginnings of curtailment of religion, with religious services interrupted and Jews persecuted--it will be far worse.

Godless communists? Yawn, how pathetic.

Like the prominently Muslim Zohran Mandani?
Or the Jewish Bernie Sanders?
Or the Catholic AOC?

Really scraping the bottom of the barrel, rethoric wise, aren't they?

What's next, warning about the evils of communist plots like civil rights, unions, equal representation and miscegenation?

You know if Republicans could just present policies that have broad appeal, they wouldn’t need to use liars and scare tactics. To that these scare tactics work on any but Republican voters anyway.

He certainly has the right to say stupid things.

What will you say when none of this doomsaying pans out?

I will agree with the epithet of godless the day that all places of worship are closed. All places: churches, mosques, synagogues, satanic temples and masonic lodges.
I will agree with the epithet communist the day that all industry and farming land is under control of soviets (councils) of workers and farmers and they are executing the Five Year Plans from the Central Committee.

This would be more accurate if it said "communist or fascist" instead of just "communist".
You're free to modify they image as you see fit.

Atheism being a requirement of Communism is sort of a soviet era thing, not really applicable to the modern incarnation.

Much of that was largely instilled in places where communist leaders saw churches and religion as being a potential rival to "the state" which is the thing they want people to worship above all else.

Nowadays, it's not as major of a concern for the Socialists/Communists as churches don't have the same level of political power and influence they once had.

Case in point, Hugo Chavez was openly Catholic.

If that was screamed at the camera by a manic, spittle flecked, wide eyed Bill Hader it would get a laugh.
