its a long story but here it goes. i went down to the ford dealership on 6/14/2007 and they sold me a 2007 ford focus about a 2 weeks later they called me up and said that i needed to come in and sign a new contract with higher monthly payments because they were having trouble finding me a lender under the original agreement. so when i went in i told them that if i had to sign a new contract that i didn't want the car . so what we decided to do was to purchase a used vehical (2006 chevy malibu) and write up a new contract for that transaction. ok so now heres the deal , i got into an accident on 08/01/2007 and thought i was covered under the 30 day binder but i just got a call from the insurance company and they said that i am not covered because the dealership never sent them any paper work for the chevy malibu and that the binder began on 06/14/2007 which was the date i i originally got the ford focus and they don't know anything about the chevy malibu.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."

Does anybody have an example of a time these rights were violated (not including in school)? And if so, what happened?

I rented this house and after signing the year lease, he told me that the ac doesnt work. Then he tells me we cannot put in window units b/c they could crack the cheap vinyl windows. Then we had to fix all the plumbing b/c of leaks, and slow drains. He will not reimburse for any work done, and says he is giving us a break on our second dog, b/c he charges $50.00 a pet. Second dog is a chi/ boston ter mix. Now the ceiling fan in my sons room is smoking and sparking. I am afraid its going to catch fire again. He said he will not replace it, just dont use it.

Does it sound like i have a slum lord, and what steps can i do to protect my deposit?

There is currently a debate in the US over the benefits and drawbacks of socializing medicine. I went to England, and my friend was run over by one of your beloved "Smart Cars." He only broke his arm, though. They took care of him, put a cast on him, and were pretty polite about it. They did all of this for free.
Do you think we should have a similar system in place in the US?

I've been reading more comments from the liberal side that say we are not doing enough in this war, we need to invade another country as well, or are backing Obama's comments about continuing the war.
Will the Democrats, if elected to office, escalate this war as they did in Vietnam?
Vietnam went from a small presence of a few hundred troops, to a full blown war involving 100K drafted men and women.

I know the following is rare, but please consider the scenario and tell me what you think.
Bob came into the US illegally. He was two years old and was brought in by his mother. Obviously, he had no choice in doing what they did.
He went to public school. During high school, Bob excelled in all of his classes. He took AP courses and graduated within the top 10% of his class. He got into college. He graduates college again with honors and receives his degree in science. All throughout his life, he has had no criminal record whatsoever.
Although now has a degree, he cannot work because of his legal status.

Would you consider Bob an asset to the US? In your opinion, should he have the opportunity to become legal and work in his area of study? Again the scenario is rare, but I would like to know your opinions on it.

Thanks.

First it is popular, out of the 7 people that watch news channels in America 4 of them watch Fox, so it's the best channel ever.
Second it's fair and balanced, I know this because fox news tells me all the time
Third, we fox news watchers may be the most uninformed of all news watcher but we like it that way, reality sucks for a republican right now, fox news takes me to a place where George Bush isn't insane and Ronald Regan is one small step below God
Fifth Fox don't make me feel dumb
Sixth Fox news makes hating groups of people cool,, just ask the gays.
Fourth they don't speak above our heads.
Seventh Fox news is easy to spell
Eigth If I don't want to think for myself Fox will do it for me.

If you understand Ron Paul's ideology, you'll understand that notion of 'control' and 'allowing' anyone is totally against his philosophy. To think that Ron Paul would try to 'control' anyone shows that they don't understand his 'hands off' philosophy. Don't you think?

So many people I know think that if Osama bin-Laden is captured or killed, that America's problems with terror will be over. People blame Bush for not going after him in Pakistan. I personally do not think the capture of Osama will end the terror threat to America. I think the terror threat comes from many places all over the globe

as some of you may or may not know the fairness doctrine is a big issue going around congress today,

there are many reasons for it, mainly truth is a higher goal then capitalism, and a view point shouldn't be censored bc one group can simply out spend the other.

and there are many reasons against it, mainly to protect freedom of speech, many news providers (both content and station) are produced for a purpose (i.e. religion, political) and no one should be forced to broadcast something that they don’t believe in

personally I’m against it bc if it passes all it will accomplish is insane, low budget, inadequate representation of the counter view point. So they are technically in the letter of the law, but with out any real communication of truth

Bill O'Reilly speaks badly about respected leaders like Hugo Chavez, but Sean, an iconic liberal, meets and greets with His Honor Chavez.

Sean is the epitome of liberalism of today: Meeting with our enemies instead of denouncing them. Making friends with those that hate the US is FAR BETTER than villifying them!

Sean Penn, Danny Glover, Jane Fonda, Harry Belafonte-- these are real Americans and we should all applaud these leftists!

Bill O'Reilly and his bloated ego SUCKS!

Even though judging from his patterns of dress on his TV show, he will be wearing a blue tie tonight (it matches his eyes....)
