ran 5.2 milesOn Day156, I had made my first post honoring Black History Month. The man I had spotlighted was Alan Keyes. Tonight I am going to post about Allen West. He is a freshman Representative out of Florida and he has been speaking loud volumes for Conservative values. He delivered an impressive keynote speech at CPAC recently. These are a few of his quotes.
“Political correctness has no place in our national security strategy.”
“Liberal progressivism evolved after our Constitution. It has repeatedly failed all over the world so why do we think it could be successful here in the United States of America?”
“I say this to the President: The good things in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act: closing the doughnut hole, making sure that we take care of people with the preexisting conditions, keeping our young kids on our insurance, I can probably fit that in five to ten pages. It’s the other two thousand four hundred ninety pages with eleven new taxes, a hundred fifty- nine new government agencies and beauracracies, and sixteen thousand new IRS agents, that the United States of America does not want!”
“We welcome the beliefs of others in America, but our coexistence must be based on a simple premise: when tolerance becomes a one-way street, it leads to cultural suicide. And American cultural values shall never be subjugated to any other as long as I have air in my lungs.”
After citing “Hostile attacks from the liberal left”, which characterize conservatives as racist, West commented, “Perhaps they should see who is standing up here as your keynote speaker.”
Allen West was born and raised in Atlanta, GA, in the same neighborhood Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr once preached. He retired highly decorated from the military as a Lieutenant Colonel after serving in Operation Desert Storm, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and in Afghanistan. After retiring from the military he moved his family to South Florida and taught at a High school. And in November of 2010 he was elected to be a Representative in the United States Congress.
