  • 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.

Again, on what grounds? "You've been critical of the administration in the past and we don't like you or your politics" are not valid reasons for the government to bar a member of the public from a public, government-funded event.
This is July's lib poster child. I'm not going to go any further with it. Y'all enjoy the usual outrage fest.

Anyone on social media ranting to excess on a daily basis about the VP should probably be kept away from the VP.
Or any townhall or other official-duty public gathering, until he’s out of office?
Sure, it is his first amendment right to “free-association”, which he enjoys but the Office does not.

But it’s definitely not because he’s cowardly, no & no-one should jump to such a silly conclusion.

You know the president and vp get extra level of security. There's a lot more scrutiny involved. But let's go with the whole fascist constitutional rights violations routine. And act all miffed that cat lady got turned away. I'm going to go out tomorrow wearing cat ears and holding a sign. Right after I dye my hair pink and get a nose ring.

Do you think that it is possible for the administration to actually be undermining constitutional rights, even in theory? If so, it would be interesting to hear where you draw the line.

Please do, I'm sure you'll look great.

Possibly

The line is drawn at barring any right-wing conservative republican from anything. All others should have to go though a vetting process.
Please do, I'm sure you'll look great.
Many wrapped up in liberalism seem to think so. Looking like a man/woman hybrid too.

Why? She’s obviously doing this as a business - this is essentially a long-running comedy act - and nothing she’s posted is unhinged or suggesting of anything violent.

This is why you don't have a job with the secret service.

Dead serious... Why is this the liberal fantasy people like you dream of? I mean, you have to know that most liberals don't look like that, yet when it comes to describing them, this is where you land. I guess the implication is they don't find people like that attractive or respectable? But even that doesn't make sense as people who look like that aren't looking to appeal to you, which shouldn't bother you. Yet, apparently it does because you keep mentioning it. It'd be like me describing Republicans as beer-bellied bald hicks with more tattoos than IQ points, who have rebel flags and a terrorist hunting license" stickers on their unnecessarily large pickup trucks, but EVERYTIME they come up. At what point does this stop being a description of a stereotype and start being a declaration of a kink?

A combination of both those types is what I've been looking for on eharmony.

You're the one who tried - and failed - to defend the action. I'll take this as an admission that you're got bupkis.

I see no reason to label her pathologically obsessed. Are you a psychiatrist?
Didn't you guys ask some people for credentials about our opinion of Biden's mental illness? Her obsession with JD is a good money-making opportunity on her YouTube channel because half the country bobbleheads yes to her rant.

If I were her, I would have sued the Secret Service for cash.

Did I? I don't remember me saying anything thing about that.

ETA: I searched my old posts, I didn't find me discussing Biden and mental illness in those.

It is a good thing to have credentials if one diagnoses others though, don't you agree?

Presumably most opinions that don't agree with yours get the bupkis award.

The only people who should monetize the Offices of the Executive Branch are the holders!

I guess if the shoe fits, and I didn't single you out. I'll be honest: the word credentials is a trigger word for me because I've heard it used in arguments. Yes absolutely. When I seek professional help, I expect credentials, but to us normal folk on these forums, it's judgment. I remember talking about dementia because of my mom and in-law; this is a good one to search. You got everyone making a diagnosis about Biden first, then Trump with dementia.
Didn't you guys
Liberals in general
