  • 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.

The Trump DOJ goes "woke" and will target free speech.

Democrats are not part of the far left, and never have been.
Do you believe that there of the far left in the US? How many and how do they vote?


The far left has been part of the Democratic Party for a century. I do recall that when Humphrey formed his alliance: The DFL Party (Democrati, Farmer Labor), the Democrats were forced out of the Democratic Party.
=========
Perhaps, this is all a matter of definition. There is indeed a US political spectrum which is less and less useful. There are a signifcant number of those who are at the far left of the political spectrum. The vast, vast, Majority identify as Democrats and vote in Democratic primaries.
=======
Consider the House of Representatives. Should any be considered far left. If not, perhaps I should simply say those in the leftist 20% of American politics. Let us consider a truly evenly divided county, with a shrinking center. We have those on the far right (10%), the 30% right of center, the 20% centrists, the 30% left of center, and the 10% on the far left. And I well understand that the center is moving more and more to the right.

Those on the 10% far left are Democrats. Without their votes, the Democrats would have won many fewer elections. To be more blunt, when they are so dissatisfied with the democrats that they choose to stay home (or vote for a monority 3rd party), Democrats are much more likely to lose.
=======
Just BTW, I do not consider Sanders a member of the far left. He has much, much more in common with the left of center liberals than those of the far left. Actually, he has more in common with the centrists that with the far left.

Radical Serge in Republican Voter Registrations Sin Carlie Kirk's Death

Agreed.

People can change their minds and affiliation. It's no surprise.
Sure. And any attempt to draw definitive conclusions from this would be little more than wishful thinking.

Eric Trump on Charlie Kirk’s Legacy and the Radical Left – “This Could Have Been the Greatest Mistake These People Have Ever Made” (VIDEO)

Why are you assuming anybody talks about sex while they’re there? Thats an odd thing for you to sexualize… It’s kids, my dude. If your mind goes to whom the drag queen is having sex with outside of the library, I 1,000% promise you that is a you problem, not a drag queen problem.


Tell me about it. We got people on here theorizing on the sexual behaviors of people who are reading books to kids, then blaming the readers for the fantasies they’ve created… They could have avoided all that trouble if they simply didn’t fantasize about the gay sex they find so objectionable, that they assume this other person is having. It’s what the rest of us do.

Thankfully at every reading I’ve been to, the majority of people are able to be normal and just have fun. But I agree with you… People who mentally go to a place of sexualizing strangers so easily probably shouldn’t be around kids. Imagine if they see somebody who’s really flaunting their sex life for the world to see, like a pregnant woman. Holy smokes, what chaos.
They are reading books promoting and normalizing topics like trans ideology. Examples include:
-Our Rainbow
-Pride 123
-This Day in June
-Peaceful Fights for Equal Rights
-Rainbow: The First Book of Pride
-Stonewall: A Building. An Uprising. A Revolution
-Pride: A Story of Harvy Milk and the Rainbow Flag

Now please dont waste your time trying to convince me that the intention is not the indoctrination of children to normalize sexual deviance.

How is the Economy Doing Right Now?

My investments and 401k have gained in value, but I certainly have a concern that Wall Street has become divorced from the realities on Main Street.
The stock market and economy are two different things. The former is forward-looking, while the later is backward-looking in that the Fed is reactive.
Is it a bubble that will burst when the fantasy can't be maintained any longer? I'm taking it seriously enough that I've liquidated some (not a lot) of my stocks into cash that I'm sitting on.
Putting money in cash is a guaranteed loss due to inflation. Money Market or high yield savings is a better choice for short term savings.

I agree with Charlie Kirk. I am nothing without my Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.
