  • 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 have to wonder if the whole world isn't laughing at us

The PRC does not support him, the oppressed populace does. I would also say that having Putin's support is better than western Europe's right now.

Russia does NOT support us. They are our long-standing foe and our opposition everywhere on the planet.

The media in general cares about one thing first and foremost; RATINGS.

That is not an answer to the questions I asked. You said that the media's purpose is to control the masses.

Professional and college football also care about ratings. Does that mean that they are an enemy of the state?

Oh, I agree with your disagreement with the conspiracy theory poster.

I was just pointing out, what clearly drives media and it isn't some conspiracy to fool the populace.

You're contradicting yourself! You said earlier that "the media's purpose is to control the masses, the news is lies and movies are truth and that this is how the Free Masons (upper levels controlling the media) do it." Now you're saying that "it isn't some conspiracy to fool the populace".

I'm curious; what research have you done that led you to the conclusions that the media's purpose is to control the masses, the news is lies and movies are truth and that this is how the Free Masons (upper levels controlling the media) do it.

Find out who the bankers of the world are (Rothchilds, Rockefellers, etc) and it's a rabbit trail of study from there on out.

Really?

Rather than having the support of America's oldest allies, with their shared values of democracy, freedom of expression and the rule of law, you would prefer the backing of Putin's corrupt mafia state?

I must say, that's ridiculous.
Countries change
England was our enemy once, for two wars. They went on to be our strongest ally and one of our biggest trading partners. Iran used to be an ally, now tensions are high.

lol keep drinking the Kool Aid. The Russian populace loves Trump, and the government prefers him over Hillary. They're not in opposition to us, but in opposition to globalism. The only problem is that Trump is probably a closet globalist himself.

Second time I've seen this claim. I read up on that court case after the first time, and could see nothing about two tiers of citizenship. Got a direct quote?

"There is in our political system a government of each of the several States, and a Government of the United States. Each is distinct from the others, and has citizens of its own who owe it allegiance, and whose rights, within its jurisdiction, it must protect. The same person may be at the same time a citizen of the United States and a citizen of a State, but his rights of citizenship under one of those governments will be different from those he has under the other."

IMO, I believe Hilary has ticked off more people globally, then what is believed. Again, just my opinion.

With that said, Hilary represents the status quo and predictability and most of our closest allies, will take that over Trump.

Yes I think the rest of the world is laughing at us.

I am also ashamed that my Country has somebody like Trump who trice divorced, can't tell the difference between a collection, lies constantly, claims Christianity as his faith, and then can't even get his verses right, and has a bunch of pagan like neo-nazis in the alt-right following him as 'dear leader" is running as president of this country of the GOP,then to see many Professing Christians of all "denominations" backing him as "GOD Chosen" is utterly disgusting, and our other choice is Hillary Clinton a neoliberal hawk that seeks ww3 with Russia, wants to continue pushing the Gay "marriage" agenda, the BLM movement (which is no different than white seperatists), who should be in jail if the FBI did their job, has been supportive of trying to overthrow Assad who if overthrown will mean even greater genocide of native Mideast Christians, and who Clinton Foundation is just fraudlent at best.

This election has killed any passion I have for politics, I am convinced our biggest mistake as Christians have been getting involved in politics, and lying politicians ,who pretend to be "one of us" instead of us being witnesses for Christ to a darken world that needs him so much.

Sorry folks I don't post here much but this post has lit a fire in my belly, I am going to concentrate more on my faith, and Church, less on politics, it does none of us any good to be so involved in this joke of a election.

Should they support us? Do they have no other place in international politics but to be America's doormat?

Hillary has been the most admired woman in the world more times than any other, but I am sure that the world is wondering how the Republican Party could have nominated this crude, dishonest, narcissistic, uninformed vulgarian as its standard bearer.
