  • 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.

ACLU Accuses State Department Of Refusing Passport to US-Born Oregonian
The U.S. Department of State is blocking an Oregon woman born in the United States from receiving a passport, according to a lawsuit filed Tuesday by the American Civil Liberties Union of Oregon.

Maria Soto, 48, was born in Los Angeles, but was sent to Mexico to live with her grandparents when she was only a few months old, according to the federal filing. She returned to the U.S. at age 18, settling in Klamath Falls.

Unreal. My son-in-law experienced something similar about 10 years ago when he was refused admitance to a federal building here in DC without his passport. He was born in New Mexico (near Albuquerque) and his family has been there since the early 1800s, back before it was a state. He was in the Navy at the time and had business to do there, but they refused him entrance. They wanted to see his MEXICO credentials.
