Since Allen West came upon the political scene in 2010 he has been a popular punching bag for the left’s attacks while he has steadfastly represented his constituents in south Florida. He has stood up for our troops and given the halls of Congress a loud and proud voice representing our military and its interests, just as Move America Forward Political Action Committee (MAFPAC) predicted when we supported him in 2010.
I’m sure West has heard many insults hurled at him from his political opponents, but last week his would be opponent in his current Florida district, Patrick Murphy, called the revered military leader a “Coward.”
The remark was made in response to West’s announcement that he would seek re-election in a neighboring district after the Florida legislature redrew his current district with a heavy Democratic influence. We know that Allen West can stand up for himself, and that he himself has not been shy about taking on political opponents and ideas.
But to call an American hero, who served in 3 conflicts starting in Desert Storm and received a Bronze Star, a “coward”, for choosing the right district to run in, is simply absurd and offensive.
Patrick Murphy is a 28 year old accountant who works in the family business and has raised most of his campaign money from those close to his family’s business interests (or from left-wing Democrats eager to see West defeated). There is no military service in his 28 years or even any public service. Simply, it is a certified public accountant born with a silver spoon in his mouth calling a retired Lt. Col of our Armed Forces a “coward.” DISGRACEFUL!
BWHAHAHA!
The Voting Rights Act ought to have been allowed to die. Paradoxically it has institutionalized racial segregation.
There are some things sensible people do not do, and the list includes calling decorated combat veterans “cowards.” Even if Congressman West were a liberal Democrat I'd be objecting to such slander. There is no excuse for it.
Freedom isn't free; we have our freedoms because of the sacrifices of our servicemembers, and we forget that at our peril.
If the FL legislature is largely Repub and conservative, why did they create a hostile new district for West?
Thanks for the pic...
That guy has a great story.
Can’t get enough like him.
God Bless Our Soldiers.

My prayers for V=Colonel West and his family. He’s one good man taking these pricks by the horns and stomping their ideologies. he won’t get in line, GOD BLESS YOU, just call you need help, prayer is all i got right now!
that was then...
...now you have this little faggot who somehow made it through boot camp and has a viral video (which I will not post here) of him hugging and etc his boytoy.
Three tours in Iraq, a Bronze Star, looks as if his blood is red. Humor me, send me the link of this video. Thanks in advance.
Thanks. Now I know you weren’t talking about Gunnery Sgt. Michael Burghardt, in the photo.
Love it. That one’s a keeper!

No, I didn't. Where did you hear that?
West ought to be tapped as VP nominee. We need him on a national basis.
Thanks for the link, SS. Made it easy to send him $25.
