Townhall has chosen Florida GOP Rep. Allen West to grace the cover of our June issue! Order Townhall Magazine today to read our EXCLUSIVE interview with West and find out more about his life, leadership, what shocked him on arriving in D.C., and how he would respond to a request to be VP on the 2012 Republican ticket.
More hot topics from the June issue:
-- Meet a new civil rights heroine: 23-year-old Lila Rose calls the battle to stop abortion 'the greatest civil rights movement ever,' but it's a fight she seems to be winning.
-- Strength in the shadows: read a touching tribute to the CIA and Navy SEALS who sacrifice for our nation without fanfare.
-- Abortions and the military: will the military become the pro-choice movement's new battleground to make government-funded abortion a part of American public policy? And will the result be more harm to women and the country they are fighting to defend?
Allen West: The of American Leadership period!
This guy is a patriotic American. Obama is neither.
Allen West is a national Treasure
Amen! That man is a leader I would proudly follow anywhere!!!
I’m nearly 65 and would go again into actual combat under his command.
Love this patriot! He is a courageous person. We need more men exactly like him to save this country.
Allen West for Vice President!
I’m a young whippersnapper of 53 and a former squid to boot, but I’d be right behind you.
Ping for later
“First of all, if all that has been reported is accurate, the Sanford Police Chief should be relieved of his duties due to what appears to be a mishandling of this shooting in its early stages. The US Navy SEALS identified Osama Bin Laden within hours, while this young man laid on a morgue slab for three days. The shooter, Mr Zimmerman, should have been held in custody and certainly should not be walking free, still having a concealed weapons carry permit. From my reading, it seems this young man was pursued and there was no probable cause to engage him, certainly not pursue and shoot him….against the direction of the 911 responder. Let’s all be appalled at this instance not because of race, but because a young American man has lost his life, seemingly, for no reason. I have signed a letter supporting a DOJ investigation. I am not heading to Sanford to shout and scream, because we need the responsible entities and agencies to handle this situation from this point without media bias or undue political influences. This is an outrage.”
Well, at least he didn’t say Zimmerman ‘acted stupidly’...
Seriously he has a lot of good points and I was very disappointed he ‘knee-jerked’.
In 2016 or 2020 he’ll be a contender.
My sentiments exactly.
Great photo!!!
