• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Small government hahahahahahaha right

Your comment: "Conservativism hasn't been about small government for about 30 years now. In practice it is absolutely been about opposing rights for minorities and women."

You are going far off topic now.

Very much on topic, actually, since it has a lot to do with why the GOP candidate didn't make it this time around, and why the GOP will have an even harder time four years from now.

We'll just have to see tomorrow. I'm tired of watching it. Romney is back within about 10,000 in Ohio. It does look like a longshot to win, but it isn't over yet.

Looks like to turn this nation around, we will have to face a worse peril than before. Recession wasn't hard enough on us. However, odds are growing for a double dip recession next year, and the USG and FED have both done all they can to stave off the last one. China and other countries won't continue to finance our debt. The other option is a full scale war, like we have not seen since WWII. The Mideast is ripe for WWIII, and if not, China will be. Sadly, we are a nation of wimps because our generations have never faced true hardship like our grandparents and great-grandparents. We think we have, but we have not faced a depression without any support systems, and a war where hundreds of thousands die. Romney may have bought us another chance, but re-electing Obama may just speed things up a bit, so we get to our real trial sooner than later. That might be good, as some depression and WWII survivors are still with us, so when things come apart, we have someone to ask the way forward.

The question remains, will we rise to the occasion, or fold.

Telling women there's a difference between legitimate or forceable rape and ordinary rape, telling them they don't get pregnant cause they magical shut down their lady parts, telling them to "relax and enjoy it", and letting the scientifically ignorant decide what constitutes health care is oppressing women.

Emotional appeal: B+
Substance: F

Don't blame me, it's your president that is doing it.

I'm outta here... no reason to stand here while non Christians attack.

God still loves you.

God is still in control. Obama isn't. However, God was in control when Israel was annihilated, and it took 2,000 years to exist as a nation again. I hope our lesson to learn is not as harsh.

Do you not live in the USA? That's not the impression I've gotten from your posts in the past.

I'm outta here... no reason to stand here while non Christians attack.

Why? Are their opinions somehow less valid than those of us Christians? That's rather offensive.

God still loves you.

And now you are just goading them.

Oh yeah, blame the dastardly atheists.

We all start out atheists. Some just find their way sooner than others! But some never do, which is tragic.

It is exhausting.

It's about time to turn in ...

(and I know "my" candidate lost - voted 3rd party again :))

Good night, and God bless +

At least you had no illusions. I did an online test and I aligned very closely with Jill Stein. I had to look her up as I had never heard of her.
