  • 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.

I'm waiting for him to argue that Osama bin Laden was a hero. And it was a travesty of justice that he was shot in Pakistan as he went for his weapon when challenged by a member of Seal team 6.

Bin Laden to some, was a hero. Do you deny this truth?

and here I thought you hated Fox News.

WP still has them being "released", as does a good number of media outlets. Time Magazine uses released, too.

Do you think they are guilty? They are no more guilty than American soldiers doing what they're told to do in Afghanistan.

They are not Afghanistan's military. That you would compare them to our soldiers is deplorable.

America is sick from a disease in which it thinks it is better than everybody else, and our soldiers are fighting some divine cause while everybody else are terrorists.

God help America from itself.


Obama isn't destroying the country, Americans are with their guns, their porn, their ignorance, their arrogance and their attitude.

Are you implying they wore uniforms? They are terrorist.

The Taliban are a guerrilla group. Or, the equivalent of a militia. "uniforms" are not consistently worn by these groups.

Does 9/11/2001 mean anything to you?

We have a 2nd Amendment for a reason, it is a safeguard to protect Americans from the government if it were to ever go out of control.

The Taliban are a guerrilla group. Or, the equivalent of a militia. "uniforms" are not consistently worn by these groups.

Quite frankly, I think it is rather insulting to compare militias to the Taliban...

Technically they're not even on our terrorist list, I believe.

If a member of an American Militia was captured by enemies, I doubt the US would consider them a POW.

So they execute homosexuals, stone to death "adulterers", commit female genital mutilation and send suicide bombers to kill who ever gets in the way, who are we to judge?

You forgot that they also shoot adulterers. You Tube is full of the Taliban's proud self published videos attesting to that fact.

You seem to not understand the concept of illegal enemy combatant. It does not equal soldier of a Country with a Government. You might avail yourself of the ability to distinguish between the two.

New Video Of Bowe Bergdahl America's Only POW - YouTube

Looks like he understands English pretty well there. Contrary to what his dad says in the latest videos where he speaks to his son on Arabic. While also being a Taliban sympathizer who posts to them on Twitter!

Twitter! The Taliban Tweet!

Hmmm ...


Naaah. How bout we set up a cage match between Obama and Ventura?

Jesse Ventura?

I don't know how they would compare physically, but at least when it comes to lying, they're on an even playing field.
