  • 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.

Hmm. Does this remind you of if the other side wins you wont have a country anymore.?

Yes it does. Both sides should tone down their ridiculous rhetoric.

Like those who want to abolish the electoral college?
Again, trying to legally change the system because you don't think that it's working properly is different from submitting alternate slates of electors (which is illegal), lying about the election being stolen, and attacking voting institutions as corrupt without evidence.

The US Constitution includes an amendment process. It was meant to be used when we the people determine a change is necessary. Its not just there for decoration.

Contrast that with illegally sidestepping constitutional processes currently in place.

I want to point out:

I just read another Trump fan poster here call Joe Biden "actually evil". And its not a rare thing here either.

Lets keep this in mind as we're pointing fingers at various D type people for "extreme rhetoric"..

You're not wrong. There is extreme rhetoric on both sides of the aisle.

It's not the left that's been threatening a civil war should their candidate lose the election.

JD Vance's hometown state senator says civil war may be needed to 'save our country' if Trump loses


The comments came from Ohio state Sen. George Lang, R-West Chester, right after he took the stage at Vance's first solo rally in Middletown and chanted, "Fight! Fight! Fight!"

[He has apologized]

"Remarks I made earlier today at a rally in Middletown do not accurately reflect my views," Lang wrote in the statement. "I regret the divisive remarks I made in the excitement of the moment on stage. Especially in light of the assassination attempt on President Trump last week, we should all be mindful of what is said at political events, myself included."

Probably after a serious dressing down by the Trump Vance campaign. They know they need to cool the war talk - for a bit.

Except for the big guy, who surely wont stop doing "you wont have a country anymore!"

You don't have a country now, other than as an affiliate of the global government of Corporatism. Some people are trying to rebel against the build back better globalization where even the elites are losing their slices of the pie.
