    CF Discussion & Prayer Thread for Newtown Tragedy

    Why? Ephesians 2:12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Our Hope: Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which transcends all...

    Is Obama's drone war legal?

    I say sending a drone is better than a strongly worded letter from the UN or a press conference. Legal.......who cares about that today? If you can run the country without a budget for year upon year, borrow half the money we spend by forcing debt limit crisis after crisis, and then on top of...

    Those unions watching out for their workers...

    If you hire someone to paint your house and they organize a union in your front yard and go on strike how much should you make a year at your job? Anyone know of any good home cures for schizophrenia?

    Those unions watching out for their workers...

    The problem is; the worker that did not agree lost big time. Our system of laws is not based on workers, it's actually based on the one. The conflict of ideas here is based on how you view the rights of people.

    Cain calls for a Conservative 3rd Party

    It could be on to something. Voter turn out was historic high in 2008 and still only about 58% of the voting age population. Since our 2 party system is split right down the middle within likely voters with little chance for any shift in the near future something new might just be the ticket to...

    "The President is wrong. I would instead keep doing what the President is doing!"

    Warmonger was the last arrow in the quiver, Obama fail, Obama lost the election last night. The moderator asked: "So there is nothing further you would do in Iran?"....answer: no, but we should have acted sooner. This = game over. Romney is a smart man indeed.

    "The President is wrong. I would instead keep doing what the President is doing!"

    Romney had one job last night, to deny the left a headline something like: "Romney would take us into another war". He did that; and in doing that he won big. He was baited carefully by both opponents several times and he did not bite.

    Should churches in America pay taxes?

    The government making money from churches………..is this a good idea? The government could run adds to increase church attendance and giving, it would be worth billions to the government. It could become a plank issue with the parties, a promise to increase church attendance by...

    the 47% is what is in Romney's heart

    But also do not forget human nature, free stuff has the power of bondage. You can see the truth of it on your TV screen as other countries try and get a grip on the free stuff before they fall off the cliff or worse kill each other in the streets to keep a benifit. An actual discussion of real...

    the 47% is what is in Romney's heart

    Knowing that many here will not get this, nor do they want to actually discuss much of anything, here goes. To say that 47% of people can't be reached is in fact a statment of a caring nature. It's a statement of fact, it is heart breaking to many people and I see Romney as one of those type...

    We Are NOT Entitled to Success - Obama

    There is a mix of ideas here that don't fit. Everybody is an impossible, fair share is another one. What is my fair share? Hard work is thrown is to trick you........try this. cover the words hard and work and go back and read it again.

    We Are NOT Entitled to Success - Obama

    I was going to stay out of this.......oh well. There is no fair shot or fair share. In fact life is not fair by any possible measure of it. This whole idea sounds like "to each according to his needs, to each according to his abilities". That's in no way is a conservative idea. The idea...

    Trailer for movie caused Islamic riots

    Every day I find something else I missed out on by not going to Harvard. I suppose I should know that when somone is offended by something it's beyond them to not kill people......You live and learn.

    Trailer for movie caused Islamic riots

    It's amazing to me that folks have not seen the foolishness in the whole thing. I mean think about it, it's the same type message you might see at the zoo, please don't feed the animals or do anything that might upset them.....and our current mideast policy is on that level of thought. That's...

    Trailer for movie caused Islamic riots

    Is it me or is it an insult to the general population of these countries to believe and operate our policy on the basis they can't control themselves around movies or cartoons?

    Romney just cost himself the election

    I'll take a moderate, that in fact would be a huge shift from where we are today.

    Romney just cost himself the election

    I can see you spent some time on this responce, thanks for that. Being realistic about the circumstances of this current or future elections with the circumstance of so many people on the public dime is an important discussion for the future of this country. Elections are won and lost on who...

    Romney just cost himself the election

    The context of his words are lost in this thread. He was not talking about the people, he was talking about the system. He's talking about having a different message in a climate such as he describes. He was telling his supporters that this will not be easy no matter what the President has done...
