In a January 28, 2012 speech to the Palm Beach County GOP in West Palm Beach, Florida, Cong. Allen West (R-FL) gave Barack Obama and the Democratic leadership a bit of what they have coming to them.\u00a0 He said, \u201cThis is a battlefield that we must stand upon.\u00a0 And we need to let President Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and my dear friend, the chairman of the Democrat National Committee\u2026 we need to let them know that Florida ain\u2019t on the table.\u201d<\/p>\n
He continued, \u201cTake 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.\u00a0 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
He concluded by saying, \u201cThis is not about 1 percent or 99 percent.\u00a0 This is about 100 percent.\u00a0 It\u2019s about 100 percent America.\u00a0 And I will not stand back and watch anyone defame, degrade, or destroy that which my father fought for, my older brother, my father-in-law, myself, my nephew and all my friends still in uniform (fought for).\u00a0 I will not allow President Obama to take the United States of America and destroy it.\u00a0 If that means I\u2019m the No. 1 target for the Democrat Party, all I got to say is one thing: Bring it on, baby.\u201d<\/p>\n
There are those who will say that Col. West is far too tough on Democrats.\u00a0 I disagree; I have been criticized for speaking just as frankly about them.\u00a0 I\u2019ve asked my critics to tell me one thing I\u2019ve ever said or written about Democrats that is untrue, and they are strangely silent.\u00a0 To the contrary, I believe that Republicans need to follow Col. West\u2019s lead\u2026 they need to \u201ctake off the gloves\u201d and give as good as they get.\u00a0 They need to understand that Democrats are much like the fighter who would look you squarely in the eye, agree to the Marquis of Queensbury rules, and then hit you with a \u201crabbit punch\u201d the instant you turn your back. \u00a0They\u2019re not honorable people.<\/p>\n
One of the problems I have with Democrats is that they can never find it within themselves to be honest with the American people. \u00a0With few exceptions, such as former senator Zell Miller (D-GA), they all tend to talk out of both sides of their mouths.\u00a0 On the campaign trail they present themselves as if they are just as conservative as their Republican opponents, but once in office they take their marching orders from the most radical left wing special interests in the country.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m tough on Democrats because they see politics, not as the means by which we establish government, as most conservatives and Republicans see it, but as an end in itself.\u00a0 Like their Asian and European cousins, who regularly riot in the streets, Democrats see politics as a game in which there are winners and losers and where losing is not an option, no matter what they must do to win \u2013 legal or illegal, moral or immoral, ethical or unethical, violent or non-violent. \u00a0For Democrats, doing what\u2019s best for the people is always less important than who holds the reins of power, and doing what\u2019s best for their party always trumps what\u2019s best for the country.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m tough on Democrats because they take unfair advantage of people, especially those who feel as if they are \u201cless than\u201d the rest of us \u2013 less talented, less educated, less capable of competing for jobs, education, and social position, those that Marx and Lenin referred to as the \u201cproletariat\u201d \u2013 while the Kennedys, the Kerrys, the Clintons, the Reids, the Pelosis, and the Obamas pretend to be their betters, the self-anointed aristocracy.\u00a0 That unholy alliance between the \u201celites\u201d and the \u201cnon-elites\u201d is what characterizes and sustains the Democratic Party.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m tough on Democrats because they lie so shamelessly to African-Americans in order to keep them on the Democratic \u201cplantation.\u201d\u00a0 Is it possible for black children to learn everything that white children learn, for young African-Americans to benefit from a college education the same as whites and Asians, and for African-Americans to find and hold blue-collar or white-collar jobs the same as a white people?\u00a0 Of course.\u00a0 Yet Democrats continue to insist that blacks must have quotas or preferences in order to compete with whites and Asians.\u00a0 They never fail to play the race card, insisting that racism in America is such that African-Americans simply couldn\u2019t make it without Democratic sponsorship.<\/p>\n
Now, as we enter the 2012 election year, we find the Obama administration suing state after state, trying to set aside new laws that require voters to produce a photo ID before voting.\u00a0 What possible reason could anyone have for refusing to prove who they are when they vote, just as they must do when they cash a ten dollar check at Wal-Mart?\u00a0 In defense of Obama\u2019s Justice Department, and in support of opportunities for vote fraud, Democrats say the most outrageous things about the ability of minorities to accomplish something as simple as obtaining a government-issued photo ID, proving only that racism is alive and well in the Democrat Party.<\/p>\n
If Republicans were to back off the photo ID initiative, suggesting instead that the states adopt programs requiring voters to dip a finger into a vial of indelible ink after voting\u2026 like the proud first time voters in emerging Third World democracies\u2026 Democrats would be just as strongly opposed.\u00a0 Their goal is to steal elections and they\u2019re not about to let anyone interfere with that long-standing party tradition.<\/p>\n
Where the black vote is concerned, there\u2019s just too much at stake for Democrats to ever allow them to learn the truth.\u00a0 A simple analysis of the 2006, 2008, and 2010 General Elections results shows that, if African-Americans split their votes approximately 52-48% or 53-47% between Democrats and Republicans, like everyone else, instead of 90-95% for Democrats, Republicans would be just months away from having a filibuster-proof majority in the United States Senate.\u00a0 By insisting on being the Democrats\u2019 most cheaply-bought constituency, without ever stopping to consider the real economic progress that Republicans offer, blacks reject everything that is best for them and for their children and grandchildren.<\/p>\n
The same is true of their relationship with blue color workers.\u00a0 In the past seventy-five years, Democrats have consistently conspired with labor bosses to support higher taxes on job creators, \u00a0the growth of wasteful and ineffective bureaucracies, excessive and unnecessary regulation of the private sector, and a debilitating adversarial relationship between business and government \u2013 all of it, total anathema to the best interests of working men and women.<\/p>\n
To the extent that the party is not owned by trial lawyers\u2026 people who earn their livelihood by capitalizing on the misery of others\u2026 it has been owned by organized labor since the 1930s.\u00a0 And while the Bureau of Labor Statistics tells us that, since 1983, membership in private sector unions has declined from 17.7% to 11.9% of the workforce, the decline in private sector union membership has been greatly offset by unionization in the public sector\u2026 public school teachers and other public employees.<\/p>\n
However, with an unprincipled friend in the White House, with radical pro-labor lawyers appointed to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), and with the most radicalized AFL-CIO leadership since the days of John L. Lewis, the industrial unions are once again rearing their ugly heads.<\/p>\n
On April 20, 2011 the NLRB alleged that Boeing was expanding airliner production in South Carolina, a right-to-work state, in retaliation for past strikes by the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers at their Seattle plants.\u00a0\u00a0 It was a serious blow to South Carolina workers who saw as many as 3,800 good-paying jobs disappear at the hands of Obama and his AFL-CIO puppet masters.<\/p>\n
Two days later, Obama\u2019s most recent appointee to the NLRB, Lafe Solomon, joked about the furor created by the complaint against Boeing.\u00a0 In an email to an agency associate, commenting on a European news story that criticized the NLRB action, Solomon said, \u201cThe article gave me a new idea.\u00a0 You go to Geneva and I get a job with Airbus. \u00a0We screwed up the U.S. economy, and now we can tackle Europe.\u201d<\/p>\n
Few rank-and-file Democrats really understand what their party is all about because they simply refuse to think for themselves; they pay union bosses or self-appointed black leaders to do their thinking for them.\u00a0 Asked to speak for two minutes on what their party is all about, most would provide a list of characteristics that are more descriptive of the Republican Party.<\/p>\n
I just want Democrats to be honest with us.\u00a0 I want them to stop lying about what they stand for.\u00a0 I want them to put their ideas up alongside Republican ideas and let the people decide what\u2019s best.\u00a0 I want them to be motivated by something more than hatred for Republicans.\u00a0 I want them to compete honestly and fairly without resorting to fraud, violence, and intimidation.\u00a0 And I want them to get their priorities in order: Instead of putting party first, country second, and God third, I want them to put God first, the country second, and their party last.<\/p>\n
The Founding Fathers knew that the nation that they visualized could never survive if ruled by immoral and deceitful men.\u00a0 As they sat down to draft the U.S. Constitution, they could not have imagined that one day the people of America would be governed by the likes of Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and Barack Obama.\u00a0 But we are, and it is up to the patriots of today to go to the polls on November 6 and once again seize the reins of power.\u00a0 The lives of our children and grandchildren\u2026 and their children and grandchildren\u2026 depend on it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
