  • 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.

Does anyone listen to Ann Coulter anymore?

You want to move the goal posts. I am talking about more than criticizing the government. I'm talking about critcism that gives aid and comfort to the enemy. do you deny that giving aid and comfort to the enemy is treason. In retrospect, I might grant that Patty "Osama Mama" Murray may have just been stupid, not nescessarily a traitor, but I reserve the right to include her at a later date after further examination.


Giving aid and comfort to the enemy is giving them arms...giving them shelter..helping them in some way. Please show me where it says a person criticizing their government is giving them aid and is treason. Just show your proof.

OK, Sean Penn, Jim McDermott, and David Bonior all three visited Iraq during the lead up to the war and criticized the pending invasion. Tell me which of those do you dispute and I will offer you evidence.

While they visited Iraq before the invasion..that really doesn't mean anything. I ask you again. I would like an UNBIASED source that proves the things they said are a kin to treason.

If anything they where exercising the right afforded to them as a citizen of this country.

Based on whose definition?

Once again, you refuse to acknowledge the fact that the people I mentioned went beyond criticism. Way beyond

I dont know why anyone even acknoleges Blemonds ( yes I named YOU) As he is arguing for the sake of argument only.. he baits and flames and tries to ruffloe those with views opposing him.. I find it hilarious now that i see him for what he is. When i get tired of his rehtoric and propaganda i sign off and donate some money to the dem national party or other lib. orginazations or send out emails exposing the current commander in theives administration as I aa not afraid to put my money where my mouth is... sometimes when something annoys you its best to just let it be and eventually they tire of talking to themselves and wander off..... just some advice.

Well, you refuse to say which one you dispute, so here is a story about McDermott, in Baghdad, saying publicly, to the world, that he believed GWBush was lying and would lie to the world in order to justify an invasion of Iraq.

Treason

No i dont want anyones voice silenced I just dont understand how by you baiting people and going just on the finge on flaming people is productive to good debate you try to bully people and enrage people in order to "win" but in the end you wil lose as you will lose credibility and no ones going to respond.:kiss:

Guys, cmon, lets not get anyone banned here. Settle down, walk away, take a breather. Better to take a 10 minutes break than a six month break.
youre right........I just dont like it when people are so pushy and apparently arrogant and refuse to recognize the views of anyone else.
disclaimer: this is my opinion and was not expressed at any one single person(s) or entity.

Treason

Well if these people where guilty of treason I'm pretty sure they would be arrested and punished for their crime. But you know I guess speaking your mind is not a crime.:doh: It seems according to you we live in a communistic like state and not a democracy.

And as for what McDermott had to say...HE WAS RIGHT ON THE MONEY.

For the record, I don't want your speech silenced. I think it's good to know how different people are thinking. I just hope you don't want to show up at my house and shoot me :wave: Or if you do want to, I hope that you don't actually do it...

Blemonds,
I know we have disageed in the past... And I am sure we will disagree in the future.
I am telling you that I will not make any effort to flame you bait you or to egg you on All I ask in return is that you do the same. I respect you for the fact that you have taken a stance on the issues and stick to it, just as I have I am hoping that we can call a "truce"
and move on from this point forward in a effort to promote a healthy debate vs. a argument.
Thanks.

When reading unreasonable posts you must remember A. Facts are immaterial to them B. It's best to just ignore the posts because you just waste your time. Blessings: thanks for your comments and I enjoyed reading what all of the reasonable, rational people wrote.
