  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I an truly confused over this one:

Trump fires back at 'Wacky Nut Job' Ann Coulter

In just one story we have the President calling Ann Coulter a Wacky Nut Job, which she clearly is. And then she says, “The only national emergency is that our president is an idiot”, which he clearly is.

I'm truly conflicted here...who should I root for...the Wacky Nut Job or the Idiot???

Why does American politics look more like a soap opera than real life?

Could anyone be nuttier than Trump, that doesn't seem possible?
If it helps any, Wacky Nut Jobs are not required to also be idiots. They can be but it isn't a requirement for the title.

You make it sound like this began with Trump and Coulter. There is nothing new here.

But beyond that, remember that most press --maybe all-- never really give the whole story. They have an agenda, and no longer give the news --even in the scope of what they choose to report, leaving out huge swaths of fact, such as Trump's undeniable track record, and many accomplishments that they simply will not talk about --even Fox. (Not saying that Hannity, Levin or Limbaugh won't point them out --I'm talking about Fox News doesn't)

When I dislike both teams, I root for the refs.
I hate the self-appointed refs. They are worse than both Coulter and Trump could ever hope to be.

Personally, I would be happy enough if it were either one. You choose.

"Self appointed media."

If only it were so!.....rather than appointed by mega corps and other interested parties.... or being the propaganda arm of a major political party.
If you can find media that are not the propaganda arm of a political party, I would like to meet them.

I'll unleash my inner cynic on this one and just say that it might be because
it's all an act to begin with...

It seems to me more like Professional Wrestling --Actors who get a little too involved in their act, and begin to believe their own, uh, stuff.
