• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • 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.

I was gonna say the say the same about you.
The conservatives are democratly in control, dont you believe in the democratic process?

Or is it sour grapes, as Hillary in India still complaining about her loss?
LOL! If the conservatives were actually in control, it might not be so bad.

How does it bear on the subject of religious expression in the public schools?

The issue is more a matter of religious expressions demanded by public school as an extension of the government.

How it is that it is the conservatives that want government to advance their religion is beyond me.

Were I religious it would be the last institution I would want anywhere near my religion.

The democrats are not in control of the house and senate.

The minority speaker is Nancy Pelosi, does that sound like control?
Sorry, that went right by you. The conservatives have the presidency and the congress, but to call their tenure "control" is a joke. You may be happy with them because they are keeping the Dems out of power, but by any objective standard and political ideology aside, they are failures.

I was gonna say the say the same about you.

I kinda figured you would -- because someone else said it first.

The conservatives are democratically in control, dont you believe in the democratic process?

Don't you think the law should be followed regardless of who is in control?

Or is it sour grapes, as Hillary in India still complaining about her loss?

I don't understand your fixation on Hillary, nor am I particularly interested.
