Ive had a dream to try to go to the Olympics in shooting sports since I was in middle school after I blew my rifle merit badge instructor away with my score on merit badge day. I told my parents about it and they wouldnt support it because it was too expensive to put me through Olympic Development for shooting sports. I kinda put it on the shelf after that but every time the Olympics rolls around I am reminded of that dream.

When they do something you dont like or dont do something you want them to do, just be like "hey mom and dad, dont forget you CRUSHED all my hopes and dreams. yes thats right, crushed my hopes and dreams" and guilt them into changing whatever it is that warranted said response ;)

You would ONLY think that if you totally ignored everything that came AFTER the word away.

Well, when reading from left to right, you do kinda stop there. :P

I was just kidding anyways, it just seemed like you were continuing the joke unintentionally.

Well that's your fault for misinterpreting what I said TTL. Anyway, if I can start practicing now I might be able to try for 2012 (although Id probably have a better shot *yeah I know that's a pun* at 2016)

so barack fan, what do you have to say about the fact that Obama's economic policy can be favorably compared to Jimmy Carter's policy, a policy which ruined a an economy that was strong when he entered office?

I don't have anything to say about it. I'm not gonna lie. I don't know crap about history... well not much anyway. So, I don't know anything about Carter. If Barack is being compared to him... *shrug* People are going to talk and compare, for better or worse. But life goes on.

Those who don't learn from history .... are doomed to repeat it, especially if it's a graduation requirement.

At least, that's what I told my students. And I have a feeling we're in for four years of Carter 2 -- including the international relations fiasco that was the hostage "rescue." Of course, those four years gave us Reagan -- who does the GOP have that's ready to step up in 2012?

I really don't know how I passed both my history classes with 1 A and 1 B, to be honest.

I mean, people can say that they think "this is gonna happen" and "that is gonna happen." Like I keep on saying that McCain would be Bush 2.0. However, I don't know that. We'll just have to wait and see what happens in the next 4 years.

But McCain is very different from Bush. Many conservatives do not even like McCain because he is not conservative enough. I think saying he will be Bush version 2.0 shows just how little you know about politics and explains how you were so easily drawn in to the lies Obama tells. You already admitted you lack knowledge of history (an intelligent person would have just looked it up on the web) and now you are proving that you lack knowledge in the political realm as well.

well if you don't want people criticizing you then you shouldn't be so outspoken in your support of Obama. You actually might be hurting his campaign more than helping it...

that's not a personal shot. It's just true. Most Obama supporters ruin their own cases just by opening their mouths. It's not my fault for pointing it out...

It sure is too bad that we as a country have allowed elections to be merely a vote for the biggest "superstar." Many people are so ignorant to our country's history that they seem to think that an election is a popularity contest, and not a decision on the important policies that will be enacted over the next 4-8 years. BarackNRoll, I challenge you to make an effort to delve into the real issues, and not be just another Barack cheerleader because he is "so cool" and unlike the normal candidate.

if Barack was white, he'd lose the election considering how close it is and how so many people are in awe of Barack basically because he is black.

How could you not know ANYTHING about Jimmy Carter. I wasn't alive during the Carter years and have heard plenty about him. I mean for god sake if you just turn on the TV every once in a while to a news channel you'd hear about him.

When you hear diehard democrats say extremely negative things about Jimmy Carter's economic policy and compare it favorably to Barack's, you know that's not a good sign.

I have delved into the "real issues" and his stances on what matter most to me are why I am voting for him. But I'm not getting back into that stuff again, because I want to be a part of this forum and not start anymore trouble.

I still support Barack, but I'm going to fade into the background a little bit. Not because I am intimidated by the opposing side, and not because don't know why I support Barack, but because politics are just that--politics.

I've had a change in perspective this past two weeks, and have realized that's not all that matters in life-- not even at this time, right before an election.

I'm sorry if I won't indulge you guys in anymore rude and crude comments so you'll have something fun to respond to... I just want to get along.

good call BnR, i think that is just fine if you don't wanna talk about it anymore. it will probably keep things more civil that way because things do tend to get slightly heated over the issue lol

This is not directed soley at BARAKNROLL but I find her stance typical of most of Barry's supporters. They usually don't know what he stands for, and very few even throw out his positions on issues. usually if someone says "Hey, this has already been tried and it has failed, why do we think Barry can do it better"? They either DON'T know it has been tried, DON'T know it has failed or simply say "Well because he is Barry Obama, and yes he can" which is basically what the ROLLER is saying. To paraphrase (And YES I am a fan of the Living Bible!) "I don't know anything about a president who has already tried the things Obama has, but I am sure it is going to work even if it failed for the last guy". To me, that is the 2nd most frustrating thing about Barry and his supporters.

Shut up it was a personal shot. and i'm a Mc Supporter. its stupid comments like "an intelligent person would look this up" refering to BNR as an unintelligent idiot that gives republicans a bad name. everyone thinks we think we are better than everyone else. You seriously sounded like you were looking down your nose at her. so please do all of us a favor and speak about the issue and not about the person.
