I'm a fan of Allen West. He is a patriot and a hero.

The old biker addage is you don't loan out your bike or your old lady because a guy will throw a rod in either one of them.

I don't know about that.. Comparing letting someone ride your bike, the same as touching your wife is pretty far out. I don't care who you are. My bike is a hunk of metal and plastic and my wire is a very special person that I could not replace..
I feel the same way about my girlfriend!

Sometimes people say absurd things to make a point. I doubt that Allen West meant that to be take literally.

Col. West got jammed up in the military because he cared more for his men then the dumbazz rules.....That's the sort of Officer that commands respect from his men....they will follow a Warrior like that into hell.... ::009::

So very true, Creg. Back to the old adage of 'believe none of what you hear and only 1/2 of what you see'....



I can dig this part here... ::021::

We desperately need more like West and a lot less like Obama, Reid and Clinton. ::008::

My position on this is as follows

I don't loan out my car, my motorcycle, or my wife, someone is liable to throw a rod in all of them.

I don't know about Wests tenure in the military. I do know as a congressman he made a lot of divisive defamatory remarks and lowered the level of political discourse ( which I didn't think was possible before he did it.) and I am glad his own district sent him into retirement.

As to whether he rides a bike or not, who cares? It's a free country.

Vilifying a man because you don't agree with their views is why I am Glad West is no longer in congress, and. I won't play that game.

And as to the whole bike/ wife comment I have heard that a million times from guys over the years, many of them loving committed husbands. I knew they were engaging in a little male bravado and I assume the same here.

What did West do to you/say to make you dislike him so much? He really said things that are so divisive that you didn't think it was possible to get so low? Seriously, have you heard Harry Reid talk on a daily basis? I assume you don't like Obama because he and his administration has brought vilifying people that do think exactly the same an art form.

I don't like or dislike him, I thought he was not a good congressman, neither did the majority of voters in his district... Given that he lost after redistricting in a republican state, I would say he had few supporters in his own party.

" West was asked by a man in the audience, "What percentage of the American legislature do you think are card carrying Marxists or International Socialists?" West responded that "there's about 78 to 81 members of the Democrat Party that are members of the Communist Party." When asked to name them, he replied "It's called the Congressional Progressive Caucus."

It is this sort of defamatory comment that makes me believe that he was not cut out to work in politics. There is more, I am sure but as I have never seen a persons arguement on the internet change another's political views, I won't bother finding more. But understand this, unless we want to divide as a nation we have to make politics less about personal. We have to find a way to express our views in a way that does not debase the opposition but rather elucidates our position and works to build common ground with the other side. The only other option in the long run is Balkanization and there is nothing more the would- be dictators and theocrats of the world would like more than to see us fall apart.

" A house divided against itself shall not stand" from a great Republican... We need a lot more Lincoln in our politics, a lot lest West IMHO.

Ok I couldn't help myself:

“If Joseph Goebbels was around, he’d be very proud of the [Democratic] Party because they have an incredible propaganda machine.” — December 15, 2011, linking the Nazi propagandist Goebbels with the Democratic Party while talking to reporters in the Capitol.


First rule of political discourse: comparing someone to a nazi unless they are an actual nazi makes you look like an ass.

3. “We need to let President Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and my dear friend the chairman of the Democrat National Committee, we need to let them know that Florida ain’t on the table. Take your message of equality of achievement, take your message of economic dependency, take your message of enslaving the entrepreneurial will and spirit of the American people somewhere else. You can take it to Europe, you can take it to the bottom of the sea, you can take it to the North Pole, but get the hell out of the United States of America.” — January 28, 2012, speaking at a Lincoln Day Dinner in West Palm Beach for the Peal Beach County GOP. West later backpedaled on his “get the hell out” statement, saying his words had been misinterpreted.

Read: even he knew he overstepped when he said that. Obama won Florida I believe.... 8)

“I must confess, when I see anyone with an Obama 2012 bumper sticker, I recognize them as a threat to the gene pool.” — July 18, 2011, in a post on the website Red County.

In order that you better work with the other side of the aisle, don't call them retards....

Looks like JOE McCarthy was SPOT ON! They just call themselfs "progresives". It boils my blood to see young people beeing able to go to university paid by capitalist dollars( their parents) and come out a commie hating the same system that allowed them to go there. I belive that lots of ponytail sandal wearing MARXISTS professors should do 1 year in a commie country before they spew their BS into our kids minds!

And I believe a lot of 1% should live on minimum wage for a year before they can say anything derogatory about the working class...
