just sent my first political contribution to the Congressional campaign of former Army Lt. Colonel Allan West, who is running on the "R" ticket in Florida House District 22 --- that's in Broward County. Colonel West is a man who has proved himself, not just in the rigors of combat, not just in leadership, not just in the technical craft of military tactics and strategy, but in the most difficult life-and-death dilemma a human being can face. He made an agonizing moral decision to save his men from a likely ambush. To do so, he shot off a pistol next to the head of a suspect, forcing him to confess vital lifesaving intelligence. Col. West didn't do that to punish the man, but to save lives. It worked.

Perhaps LTC West will get some support this time. The Army left him out to dry.

What a great story. This is the type of “discussion” that should be making the talk show rounds, instead of the usual “I’m a victim”...it’s Bush’s fault.
The closing says it all...
“Oh yes, and all four of these folks are African Americans: Col. West, General Honoré, Mrs. Obama and Mayor Ray Nagin.
So what? Victimhood and earned pride are human universals.”

This is more proof that we need to do a real housecleaning of our government elected or not.
People with morales and integrity do not have to hide anything.

Well, victimization is a self-fulfilling prophecy. So is honest pride and self-confidence. Teaching minorities to be victims is the most insidious form of racism because it is a self fulfilling prophecy.

Black Republicans are Americans first, Republicans second and "black" (a distant) third.
Black conservatives are what Obama pretends to be - those who have trancended race.
Republicans who happen to be black are what we thought Obama was before the "Rev" showed us why black people cheered when "OJ walked" after killing his white wife.
The MSM should NOT give Obama a pass on this one...

the gop might leave him out to dry, I have watched 3 election cycles, where a good conservative didn’t get much funding from the gop lose the race to a well healed incumbent rat.

I remember this like it was yesterday. I sent him an e-mail thanking him for his service, telling him real Americans were behind him, etc...and he replied with a very gracious e-mail. A true American hero-I will be donating.

I offered him a job, but he had other offers...
Still, his email was one of the funniest things I have ever read. “Please excuse the lousy formatting, I am sending you this from a foxhole...”
