• 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.

Now does everyone understand why the "right to refuse illegal orders" video was made?

You guessed wrong . The six traitors were just trying to sow discord in the military because they hate Trump.

Latest reporting says the designated terrorist drug dealers climbed back into the boat .
more accurately what was left of the boat, that's a distinction without a difference.

How can you know unless you have the magic Trump glasses and decoder ring.

...then killing unarmed men in the water, apart from being absolutely morally reprehensible, is murder. Those that support actions like this really need to take a good hard look at themselves.
This is very true, if they did in fact climb back onto the boat to gesture that they surrender. And not, to figure out how to protect their cargo.

Back in 2012 and 2016 I felt similar to how you feel now, especially when Obama kept up a flurry of (nearly 1,200) bombings onto Afghanistan that killed nearly 100 innocent civilians including women and children.

As of Dec 4th, the Trump Administration has illegally executed 87 people in boats off the coast of Venezuela. No attempt was made to interdict the boats, much less detain and interrogate the suspects. They were summarily killed based on illegal orders from this administration.

According to the peculiar reaction of those 6 Democrats, perhaps Trump needs to borrow those glasses and decoder rings from them! lol

From what I heard, they were trying to salvage the drugs. Some would consider that to be still in the fight.

The first missile destroyed the ship. Two survivors clung to the wreckage. They were clinging for life and murdered because survivors are inconvenient.

That is even less credible.
The claim that they were climbing back in an undamaged boat is also from a Congress member, so we can throw out that claim as well?

This is a cartoonish take on the situation…what choice did the “crew” have after their boat had sustained such damage?


You’re riding in your boat, (same as it ever was), then there’s an explosion and you’re in the water and the boat has stopped.
You will not know what had just happened. All that you know is that there was an explosion and now you’re concerned for your continued existence.
