• 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. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

And then there were Three....Correction....FIVE...!!

Or it could be true...
Or it might not.

I'd be more convinced if the democrats hadn't waited until the last possible moment to unveil all of this. The fact that they delayed as long as they did tells everyone that:

A) this is a politically motivated attack, and
B) they're so unconfident in these claims that they didn't want to give the committee the time to investigate them soon enough to let the vote take place if proven false.

And again- they might not. And if we assume the confidence level of the senate democrats who sat on these claims for weeks for ourselves, they're probably not.

Has there been a sea change? I swear to think that at one time, the party line was "If you drag a $100 bill through a trailer park, there's no telling what you'll find".

Still, shifting from "Hey, you'd better put an ice pack on that" to "the woman must be believed no matter what she can't remember and the suspect should be sentenced to 25-life, then maybe we can start the trial" is a bit drastic.

And for the third time, they might not and probably aren't. You're not listening to me, are you?

Irregardless, they can't be proven. The claims are anywhere from 15 to 36 years old. Law enforcement would have a hard enough time making a case if they'd been reported at the time, they can't be expected to build one decades after the fact based on one person's word and four "eyewitnesses" who disagree with their story, or even "eyewitnesses" who back them up. Where's the hard evidence?

Who is saying that exact thing?
