It is so unfortunate Allen West betrayed his conservative ideals in voting to raise the debt ceiling. His words here ring a bit hollow given his culpability (along with the Rinos) for voting to send us further down the path of fiscal destruction. I thought he was different. I won’t go so far as to call him a full fledged hypocrite, but he seems to be talking one way and voting another of late. Talk is cheap, what is important is how one votes. That is my measure of the value of a congressman.
I believe that national security is the most important problem our country is facing today. One of the major threats is radical Islamism, and its goal to kill us and to destroy our nation. If you think our country is in economic trouble now, you’ll see even greater chaos if we experience another terrorist attack like 9/11. A president with business experience will not be enough to save us.
Is any one else here seriously concerned about the overthrow of so many Middle East and African countries in the past year? Egypt, Libya Syria, etc? Has Obama’s tenure emboldened the rebels? Will all of the new governments be ruled by Sharia Law and the tenets of Islam?
I do not believe that all Muslims are evil. Absolutely not! But it is difficult to determine who supports us and who wants us dead.
We need an individual who is willing to identify the evil confronting us and who has the intestinal fortitude to meet them head-on; someone who has come face to face with the enemy and does not fear them. In my opinion, that person is Allen West. I am still hoping that Sarah Palin will decide not to run but instead give her support to Allen West.
