liberals always side with communist countries. they always make the U.S. the enemy. they buy into all socialist theories even though they have failed every time they have been used. I bet you will not find one happy person in north korea.

Well is not that the very definition of terrorism?

ter-ror-ism –noun

1. the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, esp. for political purposes.
2. the state of fear and submission produced by terrorism or terrorization.
3. a terroristic method of governing or of resisting a government.

lil bushy's new elected monarchy has unveiled its "October surprise" in a desperate effort to salvage its power monopoly and its control of the peoples beliefs and consents through a rash of lavishly funded campaign videos that allows Osama Bin Laden to continue to threaten Americans with more cataclysmic terror attacks against the U.S. homeland unless the public votes Republican in the mid-term elections.

These hard-hitting ads bombard Americans with an array of quotes from bin Laden and his top lieutenant, Ayman al-Zawahiri, that include bin Laden's Dec. 26, 2001 vow that "what is yet to come will be even greater."

Will America be controlled and vote its fears?

I think we need to ping every FReeper we can on this issue. Start a petition to the President of the United States to pardon both of these men, give them their jobs back, and fire both the Prosecutor and the Judge. This is despicable and needs to be remedies ASAP!!!!

I am going to write my Congressman today.
(We have two political parties: the American Party and the Anti-American Party.)
EL PASO, Texas -- Two former U.S. Border Patrol agents were each sentenced Thursday to more than a decade in federal prison for shooting a Mexican drug smuggler and then trying to cover it up.

Ignacio Ramos was sentenced to 11 years and one day, and Jose Alonso Compean was sentenced to 12 years. Both were fired after their convictions on several charges including assault with a deadly weapon, obstruction of justice, and a civil rights violation.

The men, neither of whom spoke in court, will be allowed to turn themselves in Jan. 17.

The agents have proclaimed their innocence in the Feb. 17, 2005, shooting of admitted drug smuggler Osvlado Aldrete Davila.

Aldrete was shot in the buttocks as he fled across the Rio Grande into Mexico after a confrontation with Ramos and Compean. The agents said they shot in self defense, but prosecutors charged that they had no reason to shoot at the fleeing man, who later claimed he was unarmed.

Since their convictions, support for the agents has swelled. Several prominent law makers, including U.S. Rep. James Sensenbrenner, the Wisconsin Republican who chairs the House judiciary committee, have even called for a Congressional investigation into the agents' prosecutions.

The union representing most rank and file Border Patrol agents established a legal defense fund. And civilian border watch groups have asked the U.S. Attorney General's office to review the case and throw out the jury's guilty verdicts.

I recently read this excerpt from Media Matters, a media watchdog Organization... I would like your feedback:
During the May 23 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor, Bill O'Reilly asserted that "[m]any Americans ages 18 to 24 have no idea what's going on," stating that they "get their news from [Comedy Central host] Jon Stewart and their point of view from bomb-throwing entertainers." In fact, studies have shown that viewers of Comedy Central's The Daily Show with Jon Stewart are consistently better informed about current events than consumers of other media, and Daily Show viewers are considerably better educated than viewers of The O'Reilly Factor. Further, consumers of Fox News in general have been found to be significantly more misinformed about current events than consumers of other mainstream media.
During the June 14 edition of his nationally syndicated radio show, Bill O'Reilly again baselessly attacked viewers of Comedy Central's The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, calling them "dopey college kids" who must be "stoned" to watch the program. In fact, as Media Matters for America has previously noted, a study by the Annenberg Public Policy Center indicates that Daily Show viewers are consistently better informed about current events than consumers of other media, while Nielsen Media Research statistics demonstrate that Daily Show viewers are more educated and affluent than the viewers of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor.

Responding to a segment on the June 13 broadcast of The Daily Show during which host Jon Stewart satirized O'Reilly's recent trip to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, O'Reilly suggested that Abu Bakar Bashir -- the extremist religious leader recently released from prison where he was serving time for his role in the 2002 Bali terrorist attacks -- could "bunk with" Stewart "when he comes to the USA." O'Reilly then characterized his own "program" as "serious" -- as opposed to Stewart's "comedy show" -- and asserted that while being "a smart guy," Stewart has taken to pandering to the "[d]opey college kids" who "are gonna watch him."

Im in debate heres what I have so far...
Value- Justice(distributive) Criterion- eliminating arbitrary distinctions

First of all the resolution is asking "should" or "ought to". Not how to or the effects of government provided healthcare...1st Criterion...a just government has an obligation to secure a just society by protecting the natural rights of life, liberty and property. Rawl's defines justice as fairness. And fairness is the elimination of arbitrary distictions. Therefore, if a government provides HC to its citizens then that government is justly securing the natural rights of those natural rights that everyone possesses.

Would it matter if someone started going into the Iraqi mosques and started interrogating everyone? Would it matter if someone started killing off everyone who spoke like they wanted to destroy America? Would it matter if Iran invaded the US and made us convert to Islam? Would it matter if someone went against the rules and the buracacy to save people from their horrible deaths or even worse lives after the event? Or do you people who believe everything you hear even ******* give a damn? Well which is it? Even if you did what would you do?

I was in a car accident a few weeks ago... but that's a completely different story. Basically, the other person's insurance is refusing to pay for storage and rental fees until liability is established, with took a full week. I do not have rental coverage on my policy and I have a high deductable, so going through my insurance is not an option for us at this time, financially. Can I take the driver to small claims court for the money that her insurance company is refusing to pay (one week's worth of storage and car rental fees)? I am in Indiana.
