• 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.

  • 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.

Of course, the GOP could end this by negotiating on health care subsidies in good faith, but we know that's not gonna happen.
No, it won't. "Trump could leave the White House and turn the Presidency over to Kamala." That would solve a lot of Democrats' problems. But obviously, he will not, nor should he. Nor should the majority party cave to the minority party and allow them to add 1.5 trillion to the debt. The Dems are holding the nation hostage by knowingly and intentionally shutting down the gov with 13 consecutive no votes. This is their doing.
Elections have consequences. For the Republicans to abandon the voters who empowered them to run the government would be a betrayal of democracy. It is odd that the Democrats, who seem so jealous of "democracy," betray that process over and over again and want it to happen again here. Do you want to run the show? Get some policies the voters can get behind, and then you might win some elections. Until then, let democracy rule. Open the gov. Vote yes on the CR and get back to business.

Absolutely. All the things the Democrats want can be negotiated later.

Not without using federal paychecks, SNAP benefits, and other assistance programs for the poor as hostages.
