During his speech at a Lincoln Day Dinner in Florida, Congressman West named President Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and "my dear friend the chairman of the Democrat National Committee", and told them where to go.
"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."

(23,664 posts)He's apparently been sucking at the government tit for his entire miserable existence (his parents were both career military) and as far as I am aware has never shown even an iota of "enterpreneurial will and spirit".
In fact his Army career was somewhat checkered, he resigned his commission after being fined for improper interrogation of an Iraqi prisoner. He retired as a Lt colonel (O5), an unimpressive level of achievement for a 20 year officer.

Berlin Expat
(950 posts)count his lucky stars he wasn't court-martialled for assualt and violating Articles 128 and 134 of the USMJ.
He was just damned lucky that the charges were referred to an Article 15 proceeding. As it was, he still ended up being fined $5,000.00.
Take this seriously...........I think not. The man has no sense of decency or honor.

(50,546 posts)My paper has been full of letters praising the Marines who posted the YouTube videos of themselves pissing on Taliban corpses, and then there's this Allen West criminal.
Allen West is the kind of guy who thinks Upton Sinclair's "The Jungle" is the book you read if you want to know how to run a slaughterhouse.
