I suppose I would have counter point if BO would allow his college transcripts to be released.

I am a known second amendment advocate on this board based on three years of previous threads. I own various firearms that require BATFE approval and the 200$ tax stamp. Some that haven't been allowed transfer unless ownership was prior to 1986. Get it? I'm active in the local, political community endorsing and promoting the second amendment. I carry concealed all the time. I'm not a liberal, I'm anti right wing, extremist, tea party mentality. I, and many like me, do not believe that firearms and politics mix well. You bring a gun to a political rally, you change the whole temper of the debate. Save your second amendment arguements for another thread. You're barking at the moon on this one.

Take the power of any resistance away from reteacans and then if he doesn't do what you wish by all means belly ache and vote him out. Until then take your message to the streets. Start by showing up when the tea party does ready to do battle(because they will be) its better than asking Obama to just wave a wand.
So what are you saying, that you have no complaints whatever re: Obama? Or have the "reateacans" simply made you "dumb down" your expectations so much, that you can't tolerate any criticism of him (even from liberals)? And BTW, how is your absolutist "my way or the highway" zealotry any different from the tea party types?

Thank you for bringing some reason to the issue.

This tends to change the dynamics of political rallies.
You got that right.

An armed society is a polite society. Something the liberal union-loving goons needed to be reminded of from time to time. As everyone knows, only liberals get violent at political rallies.

Absolutely true! Just the presence of firearms at a political rally is enough to make liberals with violent intent reconsider their position. And you think that is a "bad thing?"

I'm kinda partial to those that never stepped foot on a college campus.
They seem to have much more common sense, than the brain washed idiots holding office today.

Depends. That armed guy who waited for his girlfriend outside her fitness club and gunned her down was very polite I'm sure. I'd feel safe at an NRA rally but not necessarily at a political rally. Too many loose nuts out there.
