  • 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.

The U.S. Secretary of the Army has apologized for an antiterrorism slide show classifying pro-life organizations as terrorists after an investigation revealed that the use of such language to refer to opponents of abortion was not a one-time event despite the Biden administration's assertions to the contrary.

In a letter published last Wednesday, U.S. Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll apologized to attorneys with the American Center for Law and Justice for the characterization of Operation Rescue, National Right to Life and other pro-life groups as terrorist organizations at an Army antiterrorism and protection training during the Biden administration at Fort Bragg, formerly known as Fort Liberty.

"This mischaracterization was not only inaccurate but also deeply inappropriate," Driscoll said. "Equally concerning was the previous Administration's inadequate response to this serious incident. Its failure to provide full transparency or take responsibility for such a grievous error is wholly unacceptable."
