If Florida fails to oust Grayson, Crist, and they don’t vote in Allen West, I vote that we oust Florida from the tribe.

They would never let him in the same State as a National meeting! He would probably win too many converts and drop their membership numbers.

Somewhere about the 1:00 mark, he’s saying, “I see myself as an American”….and I felt like jumping up and screaming at him: “No, Goddammit!!”
“Not only an American, but also a soldier for America.”

This man is a role model for America. He chose the difficult path, makes no excuses, and has his priorities on the right things in life. Besides, he got one of his college degrees from Kansas State University (go Cats), no doubt while he was stationed at Fort Riley Kansas with the Big Red 1 of the Army. He is a leader at what ever station in life that he is attached to. I hope Florida 22 gets it right this election.

I think Allen West is great. And I love what he has to say in this video. But I’m sorry. The response to that lady should be that looking to a politician, ANY politician to heal the country and end hatred and bring humanity to the sunny uplands of history is the problem. Obama isn’t the Messiah. And neither is West or Huckabee or Romeny or Palin or any other politico.

Just look at all those white teabagging conservo-nazis glued to this man’s every word! They should be ashamed of themselves.
Hmmm. What meme should the former JournoListers create for this sad situation?

Sphincter Hackerman: “I think we should take his head and smash it through a plate glass window. Then smear his blood all over our faces and post a video of it to Youtube so we can scare all the other Uncle Toms”.
Ezra Klown: “Guys, I’m going on MSNBC tonight so hurry up with the talking points. My and Rachel are going to be destroying this West race traitor. Remember, I’ll be the one sitting on the left…Rachel will be on the right, so don’t get us confused again”.

Col. West is a giant of a man and I’m supporting his candidacy with my money, but what really struck me about the video was the woman in tears at the beginning who said that “Obama was tearing this nation apart (with the racism).”
This does not bode well at all for the Precedent and his party in NOvember.
Things are reaching a very bad place in our republic,my fellow patriots.
I think we’ve all had just about enough of being called “racists.”

There is a map of Col. West’s 22nd District in Florida and a schedule of his upcoming events posted on his web site:

disillusioned on July 24, 2010 at 2:57 AM
“Charles Martel (or, in modern English, Charles the Hammer) (23 August 686 – 22 October 741)is best remembered for winning the Battle of Tours in 732, which has traditionally been characterized as an action saving Europe from the Umayyad expansionism that had conquered Iberia. There were no further Umayyad invasions of Frankish territory, and Charles’s victory has often been regarded as decisive for world history, since it preserved western Europe from Muslim conquest and Islamization.
Though primarily remembered simply as the leader of the Christian army that prevailed at Tours, Charles Martel was a truly giant figure of the Middle Ages. A brilliant general in an age generally bereft of the same, he is considered the forefather of western heavy cavalry, chivalry, founder of the Carolingian Empire and a catalyst for the feudal system that would see Europe through the Middle Ages.”

hillbillyjim on July 24, 2010 at 4:29 AM
If not for Charles Martel, there might well be no American History. One of the most important men who ever lived and most people today have never even heard of him.
“The defeats Martel inflicted on the Muslims were absolutely vital in that the split in the Islamic world left the Caliphate unable to mount an all out attack on Europe via its Iberian stronghold after 750. His ability to meet this challenge, until the Muslims self-destructed, is of macrohistorical importance, and is why Dante writes of him in Heaven as one of the “Defenders of the Faith.
The battle of Tours, or Poitiers, as it should be called, is regarded as one of the decisive battles of the world. It decided that Christians, and not Muslims, should be the ruling power in Europe. Charles Martel is especially celebrated as the hero of this battle.”

To expand upon the point, denying that Islam is diametrically opposed to modern civilization is to concede enough ground to put our and our future generations’ future in jeopardy.
When somebody tells you they’re gonna kill you if you don’t do A., then, either decide to do A. and concede your independence as a person or decide to do B., which is to resist with all of your being and defend yourself with all of your assets.

donh525 on July 24, 2010 at 7:04 AM
We have leadership ?
We have people at high positions in government mooching off taxpayers, but leaders ? We haven’t had them for a while. We have had backbiters,opportunists, liars, cheats, turncoats, thugs, scoundrals and out and out
anti-Americans, but no leaders. We have had politicians but no statesmen. And they are not going anywhere because of the 52% who will keep them there.
I had a chat with a few of my fellow foodies ( who are typical lefties) on Thursday ,who opined that Breitbart should apologize to Ms Charade for ruining her reputation ..and I laughed because they couldn’t answer why the $100,000 reward ( announced by AB) was never collected by the black caucus .
It disturbed me then, but I am used to their looniness. Tonite I was stunned when I heard the same thing being said on Red Eye, that AB should apologize.
This is a very high level of co-ordination between groups that have nothing to do with each other. There seems to be NO voice of sanity left anymore.
Our country is on the way to lose its power, status, money , reputation , harmony and prosperity and absolutely no one in the so called leadership is saying
“ENOUGH, NO MORE, STOP ” to cool it down. Instead they are dousing the flames and collectively targetting just one individual for revenge, just as alinsky said they should.
We don’t have any leaders. We have media whores who speak in soundbites .
We have politicians. We need statesmen / stateswomen.
I hope I’ll see atleast on in my lifetime.

Here is how a typical conversation between me and lefty friends used to go during the townhall meetings , last year
Lefty : Townhall protests are racist
Me : How so ?
Lefty : They are all white people
Me : Is being white illegal ?
Lefty : er.. but they are all republicans
Me : Is being republican , illegal ?
Lefty : and they are rich
Me : Is being rich illegal ?
Lefty : No , but they are racist, they have no black townhallers
Me : So whatever these people are saying makes no sense because although they are legal and whatever they are doing is legal too, but they should not be taken seriously because they are white ? Why do you hate white people ?
Lefty : I don’t hate them
Me : Then lets discuss what they are saying and forget what they look like
Lefty : But they don’t have any blacks and latinos in their group
Me : So their concerns shouldn’t be addressed because they are white ?
Lefty : Ummm…
Me : You ARE a racist and you hate white people and you know it. You can’t see beyond their skin color. You disappoint me

I’m in Allen West’s district and have donated to his campaign. He’s running against Ron Klein who is a real Democrat political hack. Allen West, and his Wife, were slated to be honored by the Cystic Fibrosis Society and Klein had some of his donors threaten to pull their donations from Cystic Fibrosis if they honored Col. West and his wife. The Society asked Col. West to offer to step down, since they could lose $200 thousand in donations, so he did.
One thing, on their web page the CYstic Fibrosis Society has a picture of Ed Markey, the famous Massachusetts congressman so, apparently, they only want liberal donations and are willing to do something like this to keep their liberals happy. Too bad. I heard they apologized but I haven’t heard if they are standing up for principle and awarding Col. West and his Wife.
Could you imagine the outcry if this had happened the other way around. The Democrats really are dispicable when they can’t seperate a charitable organization from politics. And they wonder why this country is so divided.

Jill_FL on July 24, 2010 at 1:36 PM
I agree with that. In fact I think that is the least repeated yet most important detail about race in America. As Col. West says, “There are pockets…” but the playing field is more level now that it ever was.
The real institutional obstacles to prosperity and success are public education, taxes and a illegal-immigration/employment.
In the clip Col. West makes the requisite declaration of being American over all else. He seems to validate my statement. Though, we have our differences. Where he is even-keeled, sincere and good-looking I am inartful, oafish and look like an episode of Queer Eye for the Elephant Man.

Martel’s victory at Tours was even more remarkable when you consider how vulnerable Christianity was at that time. The Saxons in Germany had yet to convert to Christianity. Neither had the Scandinavians to the North or the Slavs to the East. So the only Christian areas not overrun by the Muslims was most of the British Isles, Frankish Gaul, northern Italy plus the Byzantine Imperial lands in southern Italy, Greece, Thrace and Anatolia (modern day Turkey). If Martel had lost, Christianity would soon have been confined to an isolated British Isles and a shrunken and surrounded Byzantine Empire. And Northern, Central and Eastern Europe would probably have converted to Islam instead.

KWR you are so very lucky to have him down there. I heard one of his tea party speeches on c-span, he is a very good man. He would have brought our country together vs tear it apart. Only been to the keys once and it was beautiful.

Yeah but they are already entrenched in our governments and financial institutions. How are we going to undo? They are making great headway and no one hardly knows it’s happening. Thank God for Pam Geller and David Horowitz’s sites or I wouldn’t have a clue about how far gone it is.
