• 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.

No reasonable deal would be accepted when those "across the aisle" (Schumer and his friends) are willing to play politics with the paychecks of 750,000 workers.
Johnson & Trump want to get rid of them altogether, so it's not like the GOP cares about the workers in the slightest.

Schumer is trying to prevent the GOP from taking away people's healthcare, which is a bigger battle. Those paychecks wouldn't be delayed if the GOP were reasonable.

Neither side can make a moral claim to anything. They are so entrenched in their polarization they cannot even communicate anymore, much less cooperate. And the president only makes it worse. This is such poor leadership I really doubt there is much hope for anything anymore. He is too focused on revenge and the “enemy within”. And the Republican just enable his childish behavior. The Dems cannot do much else but refuse to participate. They certainty need new leadership also.

Vance wants slimmer generals, good grief!

Yay! Let's use warped MAGA politics to UNWIND centuries of progress towards a gracious, caring welfare state!
Centuries? The welfare state didn't start until after 1925.

We dont need or want a welfare state.

We need to help those who are truly needy. Far too many Americans aren't really needy and are still on the taxpayers dole.

Compassion is not in handouts when they cause dependency.

There are those that REALLY need our help. I'm happy to give it. But I bet we could cut our welfare in half through work and education programs. We could end up not needing all those illegals.
