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.
Name a movie with a city in the title.

‘The Phoenix City Story’ [A true story that takes place after WW II]
In this semi-documentary, an Alabama town is run by a crime syndicate that's grown fat on prostitution and crooked gambling, directed at soldiers from Fort Benning across the river. Lawyer John Patterson, back from the army, is triggered by what he sees to join the reformers with a plan: to run his father Albert for state attorney general. The syndicate responds with escalating violence:
General George Patton was ready to go to war and the Phoenix City had some of his soldiers in jail. He asks nice for them to be released but the police said no. At that time the police were paid by the crime syndicate. He took a tank to the top of the hill over looking the jail and told them he was going to blow a hole in the side of the jail if they didn’t let them out and the jail doors open. Patten’s army then moved out to WW II. [This is a true story told to me while I was station at Fort Benning, GA across the Chattahoochee river from Phoenix City, Alabama.]
