  • 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.

Many people voted for Trump because they liked Clinton even less than him. When I cast my vote for a Republican White House I was not voting for Trump but against Clinton. Others have expressed the same feelings. Also I was voting for Mike Pence because Vice Presidents sometimes become Presidents.

Just some personal notes - I can't believe anyone in this nation would vote for a woman who has spoken up for full term abortion. Also, I think it is great that the polls were inaccurate. I'd bet some Democrats didn't bother to vote because they thought Hillary was a shoo in. With such a close race, those who didn't vote could have made the difference!

Let us all pray for this new administration, that the Father's will be done.

What the media doesn't get or won't admit
The media deliberately chose to become partisan for the last eight years.
Obama could do no wrong. After the Clinton Crime Syndicate was exposed, after Hillary's abuse of power as Secretary of State was exposed, after the corruption and collusion at the highest levels was exposed, they continued to black out the truth and feed lies to the public.

So it is not a matter of the media "getting it". They got it but became a propaganda machine for Obama, Hillary, and the left-liberal progressive agenda. This is exactly how Pravda used to operate under the Communists in the USSR.

Trump and the alternative media saw through all of these lies, exposed them, and accused the media of deliberately distorting the truth. Even after that, the media would not relent, but kept on rigging the polls and the news, and failing to report the truth about the Clintons and their cronies. So in effect, the mainstream media committed treason.

The journalists within the MSM were bought and paid for by the globalist elites as well as the Clinton Crime Foundation. That is why all the debates were also rigged, and now the truth has finally come out.

I think the alternative media, for example on YouTube, has helped educate people away from mainstream media propaganda.

The alternative media is full of lies and nonsense, yet the people who watch it are impervious to facts. I've personally known numerous people try to show how dishonest Hillary is by using claims that are, themselves, dishonest.

The alternative media has people on both sides of everything. The point is, it helps people to see something besides mainstream media.This I know - and it was on CBS - Hillary has said she would not oppose abortion up to the day of delivery for, generally healthy, 9 month old babies. This I know also, that's cold blooded murder of innocent babies. Am I going to give any trust at all to such a person? Never. Does murdering 9 month old innocent babies bother you? If not, why not? And tell me why I should vote for someone who supports that.

Because the other guy isn't gong to do much to stop it - and he's going to screw up a bunch of other stuff, and a bunch of other people in the process.

How do you know what he is going to do? Why am I supposed to consider you as prophetic? I don't know what he will do, that is true. I do know Trump has not come out in favor of abortion. And I do know what Clinton would do. I don't have to be a prophet to "get it." I prefer to go with what I do know, rather than what you think you know about the future.

And P.S. to me the main thing is how I believe the Almighty will look at my votes. If I vote for someone I know will be responsible for the murder of innocent babies, I don't think He'll be happy. If I vote for someone who has not come out for abortion, without knowing the future one way or another for sure, He understands, I believe.

Indeed...Daily Kos, Mother Jones, HuffPo et. al. from the alt left all got it wrong. They were looking at demographic lies created within their own heads. The dilemma of group think.

Come to think of it, we need to add the corporate/network/cable 'news' outlets to the above as well.

I don't think this 'race' was ever close.
Hillary had no chance of gaining enough
electors to win.

And to hear some tell it they are the only sources that are credible...
