Rep. Allen West (R-Florida) came under fire last week for a few choice comments about liberal racism, as well as about President Obama actively engendering a culture of dependency.
I really feel that it is demeaning to me to think that I need some individual to justify me and my existence. Look, I went through 22 years being in the military, I rose to the rank of Lt. Colonel, I have a bachelor and 2 masters degrees. And for these white liberals to believe they can have this condescending manner toward black conservatives that we need to have approval from our quote unquote, I guess “masters”, for us to be able to speak – see that’s where the true racism really lies governor is with the white liberals who don’t want to see someone such as myself that broke away from their dependency class and is out here and able to possibly contend against them with the policies that they are promoting that’s destroying the black community. I know I’m their #1 target and it just emboldens me to speak out even stronger.
And:
“Self-esteem comes from doing esteemable things. Sitting at home and getting a check from the government is not going to help your self-esteem. What it will do is make you an economic slave to people living in a far, far, distant place,” West said on Sunday.
“He does not want you to have the self-esteem of getting up and earning and having that title of ‘American,’” the congressman said of the president. “He’d rather you be his slave and be economically dependent upon him.”

“I don’t care about my critics,” Rep. Allen West (R-Fla) said about the response to his comments about slavery and liberal racism. “I understand that my country is at a very perilous situation and i’m going to use the type of words that are necessary to get the attention of the American people.”
“I want to make sure that the United States of America, that has been around for 236 years as the beacon of liberty, freedom and democracy, continues on for our subsequent generations. Our children and grandchildren. And I really don’t care about critics. I really don’t care about the liberal media,” West said.
If Mittens talked like this he might get somewhere..
LtCol West (I address you by the title which contains integrity and service, rather than “Representative”, a title which pretty much identifies one as a loser with no capabilities), I’d vote for you anytime. Were there more like you in congress, we’d perhaps have more respect for the office.
Great Read! Thanks!
Bravo to Col. West! If only we had more like him in the Republican party.
West for POTUS!
Dependency class... Go Colonel! Permission to speak from masters.. Colonel West.. as always.. I salute you!

There is nothing the liberal masters hate worse than a black man who refuses to serve on their plantation. The liberal plantation wants to own every black person. How dare any of them start thinking on their own.
I love Allen West. I have since the day I heard about him putting his men before his career
How I wish Mitt would tap him for VP. This is a leader we could proudly support.
What the hell would be wrong with this guy as a VP? I like a man that doesn’t put up with the liberal BS!
Which is exactly why milt would NEVER choose West. Milt will choose a boring but risk-free white guy. Somebody like Pawlenty.
Sadly,I believe you are correct.
We would be winning; and not 'parsing' .02% spreads; or other paltry numbers per polling.
Such damnning arrogance that fills this Repub Party; as it imagines it knows best; how to 'read' the American pulse.
Nothing worse, than an Elephant; that cannot remember; and consequently; learn from it's mistakes.
Same here. A grunts grunt.
exactly my thoughts at the time. This is a guy I would follow anywhere
