  • 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.

    THIS is actually how democracy dies (sorry Padme')

    Heard it before, but considering where we've gone in the last couple years, I thought it was worth revisiting and sharing. "In 1787, while our first 13 states adopted their new constitution, Alexander Tyler who was a Scottish History Professor at the University of Edinburgh, said this about the...

    Should Christian Balance Christianity and Politics?

    We, as a nation, are experiencing political upheaval. The question is should we, as Christian, balance Christianity and politics? My honest opinion is that there is no balancing or weighing one against the other. In this instance, the scales should always be one-sided. Christianity is our...

    Why does the police brutality of a counterfeiting drug addict mean more workplace discrimination?

    I'm talking about George Floyd, and the fact that the 'black community' gets more hiring and promotion preferences than ever before, as they demand an extortionist style 'payback' for the life of one man who was far from a model citizen. Was he a career oriented individual, trying to get ahead...

    Stop the Steal

    Here's an editorial from the Washington Times on the new election law the Democrats want passed. Getting rid of two party oversight is key to their scheme: Democrats’ elections scheme would gut Federal Election Commission bipartisanship

    Healing?

    Joe Biden promised to heal the country, to be president of all Americans. But when I hear what he did after he became president, it seems he only served the interests of his voters. But since I am a foreigner who looks from the outside (Germany), I may have missed something. So my question is...

    Putin just blew up the irony meter.

    Russia Blasts Biden Regime For ‘Persecution’ Of Trump Supporters, Political Dissidents It's almost comical that Putin would attempt to complain about how we're handling a riot at the US Capitol, while he poisons and imprisons all his political rivals and while he locks up thousands of peaceful...

    The Spiritual Nature Of The Politics That Shapes Our Destnies

    Politics. Policies. Prosperity. Three important things we cannot ignore. Politics determines the policies, and the policies determine the prosperity of the people!

    "Oh God, it's Mom" (Mom scolds fighting brothers on live TV/C-SPAN)

    I have no idea why YouTube just recommended this to me, but I am so glad it did. More politicians should get scolded by their mothers live on national TV. :) It might help keep them humble.

    As a European very interested in contemporary history of USA and it's role in the world, it's very clear to me that people all over the world is living in fear for what might happen if the greatest military power in the world will continue on the path it's been following with the Republican...

    Stimulus Payments We Received

    Certain people hate Donald Trump but they should remember something. Trump gave us $1,200 stimulus payments, plus $500 per child. That money has helped a lot of good people during this horrible and terrifying pandemic. It sure helped me and I'm grateful for it. I realize that Donald Trump isn't...
