  • 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.

The D-word again... Draft.

Several points-

The Democrats sponsored the Draft bill. It was soundly defeated.
TWO Democrats sponsored the Draft bill. It was soundly defeated.

The Democrats want a draft so that there will be more pressure from the greater population to get out of Iraq. They want to do in Iraq what they did in Vietnam.
Question: If the Democrats want a draft, why didn't they vote for it?

John Kerry's self fufilling prophesy-
If Kerry is elected, there will most likely be a draft, for who would join the military with him as the Commander in Chief????


With Bush re-elected, there will be plenty of proud Americans eager to fight the war on terrorism in the Armed Forces. No draft needed here.
So the Stop-Loss provisions are being implemented just for laughs, right? Our forces aren't being stretched too thin because soldiers aren't re-enlisting?


I certainly would not volunteer to fight the "wrong war, in the wrong place, at the wrong time." But in a struggle against the evil of terror- you can count me in.
So when did you sign up?

Thus you have a big difference between Kerry and Bush.
Agreed. One's not a self-appointed, self-deluded, Crusader against evil.
