Florida has a superstar.....


Allen Bernard West (born February 7, 1961) is a Republican U.S. Representative from Florida's 22nd congressional district, serving since January 2011. He is the first African-American Republican Congressman from Florida since Josiah T. Walls in 1876.

West served in the Army in Iraq and was a civilian adviser in Afghanistan. He achieved the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the United States Army electing to retire after an investigation of his conduct during the interrogation of a detainee in Taji, Iraq

Watch this guy, he could become our first African American President :)

It's amazing how a person even though he may not like the president talk like he does. I was brought up to respect even the person I may not like but at least don't disrespect the the office of my country.
I don't like the man who is my prime minister in Canada and but he is the Prime Minister of Canada and I show respect to what he is. Am I wrong feeling that way or has respect been thrown out of the window?

Rep. West speaks the truth...and it has nothing to do with liking or not liking the person. Just WHO is disrespecting the office?

Big hugs, my friend...

You miss the point Paul, Obama has no respect for the office, our constitution, and the laws he is sworn to uphold, how can I respect him?

And I'm sick and tired of being called a racist!!! I would gladly embrace Rep. West as my president!
Paul needs to understand that from our viewpoint, we don't disrespect the office - Obama does. He thinks he's a celebrity, not the head of the US. In my 63 years, having voted in every election, I've never felt so angry that the GOP can't run a decent candidate. Not that McCain isn't a decent man, but c'mon, president? And if they draft Romney I'm really gonna be pissed off.

I'm sorry. I don't mean to appear to understand the American way of politics. Maybe I'll just keep myself quiet from now. That way it won't get any people upset. Once again, I'm sorry if I have angered anyone.

who wouda thunk it?? said...

I agree with the general opinion here. Obummer has NO respect for the Constitution, the office, the country, the military, or the people who put his tired ass in office.
I have always liked Allen West, he seems to have morals and ETHICS (remember those?)

Col. West has been making a lot of friends...I'm one of 'em.

Obammy deserves no respect...he's a sideshow clown at best, a Marxist, slimy bastard at worst.

He has no respect for America, true Americans, or the Constitution. He's a foul piece of dung, not worthy of wiping off my shoes.

I think that says it all about Barry! Good to get back to the Political Rants Sarge, it's been awhile!
