Allen West on Wisconsin Protests: “We’re Witnessing the Abject Hostility of a Unionized Entitlement Class Lauded by the Liberal Left Including Obama”
So much awesomeness packed into one man.
“Over this past week I have watched and listened to members of the House of Representatives from across the aisle.
“I am appalled at their ignorance, belligerence, and dishonest rhetoric filled with empty emotional platitudes. Have they no shame in realizing that their inept, incompetent failures are the reason why we are debating this continuing resolution. They failed to pass a budget during the 111th Congress.
“Have they no honor in realizing that their fiscal irresponsibility over the past four years has resulted in our standing on the precipice of a fiscal canyon from which we may not recover.
“Also troubling are the events in the state of Wisconsin which mirror those that happened in Greece several months ago. We are witnessing the abject hostility of a unionized entitlement class that is being lauded by the liberal left, seemingly to include our President.
“It is such a critical time for our Republic, yet there seems no visionary leadership — it is as if America stopped producing adults. I have never seen a greater assembly of petulance and sophomoric behavior as what I have witnessed this week on the floor of the House of Representatives.

How does the man fit his pair in a pair of trousers?
Now that’s how a leader should sound.
When he speaks, you never have to wonder what his position is.
.
This gives me hope.
Why in God’s name is he the only one we have?
We have conservatives but none that speak it out like he does! Amen!
These teachers make something on the order of 51,000.00 /yr. Total pay and compensation amounts to around 90,000.00/yr. And that’s over a 9 month period of time. If they work a temp job for three months, they can push their pay over 100K for the year. And what are Wisconsin parents getting for their money? Hmmm? Kids today are brain-washed automatons who echo the mindless drivel that passes for knowledge in Indoctrination U.
Fuck these spoiled teachers. Wisconsin is going broke. Time for the spoiled entitled class to start paying for a portion of their health care and retirement like everybody else has to.
Better still, how about keeping the teachers who can teach and dumping those that can’t. Let pay be based on merit rather than entitlement.
Get back to teaching the three R’s and leave the PC shit outside the classroom.
West 2012.
Rep. West sounding more presidential ever day.
This man has my vote. And won’t libtards and NAACP heads explode when the right gets behind him all the way? Who will they shout “racist” to then? Ha
This guy could verbally beat up Wanna-be Dictator. (Physically kick his sorry a** too but violence is the last resort.)
Wow.
I would love to watch him debate Obama in the next election
God, I love this guy. Hugh nads, smart, tough, A MAN AMONG MAN! God bless him. I just pray that he stays the course and doesn’t do a Colin Powell.
“Cream” rising to the top. None too soon. Go Allen.
@gastorgrab – You have it 100%. He looks, acts and sounds like a Leader.
I wish I lived in the US, just so I could vote for him.
Now if West and that sheriff dude from Arizona get together as 1 and 2 on the Presidential ticket, that would be about as much sheer, unadulterated awesomeness as the White House could handle.
And they’d have the country turned around and back on top where it should be in the first term.
Forget about retreads like Huckabee and Romney. In 2012, this is our man!
(Racism, my butt.)
West is the man!!! In him we have the rebirth of Reagan and maybe more.
He is too awesome for words. West 2012
Just a few days ago the Obama DOJ proudly announced the arrests of dozens of doctors and nurses guilty of fraud in Medicare. Today, with the blessing of Obama and his Organizing for America and the DNC, unions protested for yet another day in Madison, Wisconsin, and we had doctors committing fraud by writing ‘excuses’ for them.
Complete and Utter WOW/utter respect for this man.
why can’t he be our President?
The Republican Party needs to get off it’s collective ass and start promoting this man. He might be the only man that can save this nation.
LtCol. West once said he would walk through hell with a gas can for the men and women under his command. Let me be the first to respond in kind Col. GO WEST 2012!
Can you say LEADER? Move over Republicans and let this man lead.
Guy’s, I too love West, But we have to let him get he’s feet wet in Congress and see how well he does against the beltway bribes.
This is the biggest test of all. Can he handle special interest and not get suckered in on the money he could be making voting in their favor?
Like he said at CPAC. I have only been sworn into congress for 39 days and already the MSM is attacking me for not getting the things done I promised during my election campaign.
I want to take a wait and see approach. I adore him, I really do. But we need to let him get more political experience under he’s belt and see how is does and if he is able to continue with his Conservative beliefs without bowing to the money and looking the other way.
Don’t be mad at me. I just want to make sure our 2012 presidential candidate is properly vetted.
Who ever we run will be destroyed by the MSM.
We need to make sure we have the best person possible to run against the Billion-dollar man.
I admire West I’m overjoyed with how he thinks and the fact that he does stand up for himself and America.
But, we do need to give him more time in Washington to learn and become an even stronger leader. That’s all I’m saying.
Let him focus on repealing Obama care and getting our economy back on track. We need him in Congress right now making sure all the other Conservatives keep their promises too.
If we push the Presidential Campaign on him now, He won’t have time to work his magic in Congress. I want him there for a while. Fighting with the CBC and forcing the Rino’s to keep their noses clean.
Don’t be mad at me. It’s just how I feel.
I would love to run West and Palin, or Cain and West, or Palin and Cain.
But we need to get some other mighty important legislation through
Congress first ,before we send out our best Conservatives to take down Obama.
We need strong men like West working feverishly to stop the Progressives and their Marxist, Communist agenda.
@Don’t be mad at me. I just want to make sure our 2012 presidential candidate is properly vetted.
I am so sick of this vetting notion as it is ONLY applied to Republican presidential hopefuls. We already know more about ANY of them than we will ever know about our currect president. To my knowledge none of them including West have spent millions trying to hide their past like Obama has. So far as vetting goes, STFU.
Okay, I admit I’m developing a HUGE man crush on this guy. Too soon for POTUS, though. Let him tear it up in Congress for a few years. I’m leaning toward Cain, and I’ve always liked John Bolton, another truth teller who makes the libdorks squeal….
At last we have some GOP freshmen who tell it like it is. West has my vote. Go get them Allen.
Col. West is destined for greatness assuredly. But come on folks, have you seen his skin color? He looks like one of them blackies to me……Hey I had to slip one in for the libtrolls to feed on.
How long until Little Chrissy, Maher, and the rest of the state-run media slimeballs try to Palinize him?
THIS is what I keep talking about!!!
Cut straight through the bullshit and hit the nail on the HEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!
WE NEED A NATION OF THESE TYPES OF MEN! STRAIGHT-SHOOTING, FORMER MILITARY MEN!
DISQUALIFY lawyers from holding public office. THEY ARE JUST CLERKS! Just blood-sucking ambulance chasers who put their own interests ahead of the public’s interests.
THE BEST POTENTIAL PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES (and they have not declared that they are running yet)………
JOHN BOLTON AND ALLEN WEST IN 2012!!!!!!!
Ladies and Gentleman….forget the bullshit templates of the past and how the Ruling Class Repubs will say to us…” oh he needs more time” WE DO NOT HAVE MORE TIME.
Look at what the VAST EXPERIENCE did for McCain. DO NOT LET THE MEDIA choose the candidate as they always pick the one they know they can turn on once he/she is chosen. Or, they have a surprise revelation about at the opportune time—f-them!
wtfk and road ..with all due respect and I mean that..he was vetted when he drew his pistol and demanded an answer from an Iraqi prisoner that could in the end, save his men. Yes, he did discharge that weapon. Note that he asked all the others to leave the room so only he would get in trouble–that is enough for me. When asked by a lib reporter if it was the right thing to do…his response…(I will run through a fire carrying gallons of gasoline for my men)
Write to him and to all your local Tea Parties for encourage West for 2012. We should NOT the past dictate our future and do not let someone else define us as they have for 70 years.
I wrote a letter to his Washington office and I urge all of you do to the same. I will chain letter all the Tea Parties that I am involved in as well.
West/Bolton West/Cain Cain/West West/Palin West/Rubio. Our soldiers from privates to Lt. Col have proven that you do not have to be a pomp -ass General to have leadership skills and courage. The main leadership skill for the next 10 years will be courage under fire…a person with bona fide battlefield experience that define the threat and defeat it…the left and Islam
If we lose in 2012…ordered liberty is over and the country will disolve
Thank you
And may God Bless America and our troops
Yay on Bolton..
Double yay on West, but full agreed – needs a few years in the office he has already. As to why he is the only one ‘speaking truth to power’ I can not begin to imagine. Hopefully, he will inspire someone w/ actual traction to start telling it like it is…
And why the EFF is Huckabee even mentioned as a candidate? What kind of MSM pussy push is THAT about?
I love this man.
love.this.man
As for his statement, I know people in a couple of public unions, they hate that they are forced to pay union fees when they don’t want to, they are independent voters and they absolutely support what is going on in WI with Gov. Walker’s plan.
They said that this makes them think perhaps this is what the community agitator meant in 2008 when he said he “wanted a civilian army to rival the US military”.
The demonrats have no clue that this is going to backfire and massively, this is not about demonizing anyone, as Obama wants to do himself, this is about fiscal responsibility, and why the hell is Obama getting involved in a soverign state’s budget issue, if he wants to butt into WI’s budget issue, he needs to resign and run for governor or else he needs to Shut up!
I understand what whthfk is saying, I don’t want someone who hasn’t been properly vetted either, but as MUSLIMANIA said, we are OUT of time.
We can’t afford the have some RINO in office and Heaven forbid we end up with O again! *shudder* We have to get a real kick ass conservetive in office and we need to do that A.S.A.P!
The biggest problem is…West says he won’t run, so now what? Who can we get behind ?
Draft West.
There is no reason why West can’t go back to congress after serving as the next best President ever…
I can think of a good reason for West to stay in congress…
to solidify his hold on the district he represents.. this is a very noble goal as well..
if he leaves his district, it might revert back to demonrat…
West:<blockquote“It is such a critical time for our Republic, yet there seems no visionary leadership — it is as if America stopped producing adults.
A lot of the blame for that can be laid at the feet of our public schools!
How refreshing to hear a straight shooter – uh scratch that – straight “talker” who communicates what every true conservative is thinking!!
“It is as if America stopped producing adults.”
Them alone is fighting words.
West is one of the few to personally attack Obama which is why I love him.
I’ve read through all the comments and I’m torn.
West is needed in Congress but we also need a kick-ass, eff the MSM person to lead us.
Please tell me why Iowa gets to pick the candidate when those lightweights have already named Huckabee as their favorite. Huckabee sucks! He’s nice but we don’t need nice! We need someone with balls – be it Palin or West or Cain.
We are in the fight of our life’s and this man is currently the man for POTUS! Forget Palin, she is TOAST!
WEST/BOLTON 2012! Time to kick the world’s ass and take America back!
the slam dunk contest last night made me laugh wonder if obama got mad because they used a foreign car to jump over instead of a gm
@nugykent
A GM vehicle wouldn’t have survived the impact if Blake hit it on the way up.
@ whthfk
I concur. West is the man so far in my book, but he needs time.
@czekmark
Scott Brown
ps STFU at whthfk? I’ve seen better treatment of trolls here. Shame Shame Shame.
That’s why they’re called obama ZOMBIES!
WEST for PRESIDENT!!! It’s time this volunteer got DRAFTED!
the demonicrats are the communist party in the usa. commie rat bastards aflicted with liberalism the mental disorder
Proper vetting? What a joke. We got a junior senator from Illinois who always voted ‘present’, now. If the Colonel needs help carrying them gas cans, I will volunteer. And I would follow him into the gates of hell.
@Phil in Ohio
I would clear a path for him.
anyone else know what it feels like to be a ‘giddy schoolgirl’ fawning over ‘Justin Bieber’ now?
LOL
Allen West…Patriot. I too am tired of the communist union entitlement class whining, stomping their feet when they are asked to pay their fair share. These union children think they are entitled to have the taxpayers fund their better than private sector salaries and benefits…FIRE each and everyone of those selfish brats who do not return to work on Tuesday.
No one else summed up the circus in Madison better than him -
How about West/Cain in 2012 ??
Col. West is one of the very few GOP voices putting muscle into the clown opera playing in Madison. The tassled loafer GOP is laying in the weeds and should be giving Walker all the muscle he deserves – that is why I am still a Democrat – the GOP likes to blow its own toes off.
This entire circus is meant to discredit Walker and thereby Chris Christie -he is a Democrat of the old school, run off by the Progressive Reds who hijack the DNC.
Col. West is the real deal.
Fuck I only meant let the Guy finish out his freshman year and see if he really wants to be president.
I realize were out of time.. But if we don’t put the best person,the most loyal and patriotic person in office who can also manage a budget. Were still fucked.
So Yes, I want to make sure the guy has every fucking skill he needs to be president and go after obama.
I don’t know if West has that yet. because he hasn’t been given the chance to show us.
I want him to be every fucking thing we need. excuse the fuck out of me for expecting that out of My Next President.
I am impressed with Herman Cain. Also Allen West, and John Bolton.
I love Sarah Palin, but we need a strong man to run for our president. We are fighting Islamic terror, and the Islamists have no respect for women. The three I named , I think fit the bill. Maybe someone else will pop up, but right now, these three are the most promising. That is my opinion.
czekmark.
Yea you pissed me off a bit everyone else here understood where I was coming from.
I need to know more… I need certain things proven to me.
I don’t want West in Congress forever ,but at least long enough to understand how the damn process works.
And long enough so every stupid America that doesn’t bother to read and research knows who the fuck he is as well.
whthfk and czekmark…..
You are both on the same side. Play well together!!!
I know,I know……FUCK YOU,BORNFREE!!!! LOL.
I’ve been following Allen West since 2004. He gives me hope. To me, he represents America at it’s best.
From Wiki:
While serving in Taji, Iraq, on August 20, 2003, West was in charge of the interrogation of Yahya Jhodri Hamoodi, a civilian Iraqi police officer suspected of having information about attacks on American troops in the area.
Interrogators had been informed the detainee knew about a planned ambush. When the detainee refused to talk, LTC West was asked to assist. Hamoodi continued to withhold information, and West was accused of firing his pistol past the prisoner’s head, frightening him into talking. According to West’s sworn statement, the detainee told West:
[The attack] was to occur Friday morning in Saba al Boor vicinity of the police station by positioned snipers supposedly being brought in from Fallujah. [The detainee] was to ID my vehicle and myself for these rooftop firers. We took this information and the following day established flask CPs and used AH-64s overhead. There was no attack and no further attacks have emanated from the town since the apprehension of [the detainee] and his named associates.
Bornfree.
I was playing nice then I got picked on and I tend to get a bit cranky when that happens. I’m sorry and I apologies to everyone here on Weasel Zippers.
Being and Italian Irish lady gives me a short fuse at times.
Imagine what I could do to a liberal progressive if I was like really pissed.
Is this the same guy who voted down an amendment to a CR to reduce government spending to 2008 levels? So now the spending levels will increase under standards for base line budgeting and the status quo continues.
I like Col. West and would have voted for him if I lived in his district but right about now I would not be happy with him. I hope that this isn’t the start of some serious disappointment in Congress with the new leadership.
Sometimes the toilet needs another flushing.
He is not perfect but he spoke correctly.
He’d be the lefties’ worst nightmare if he ran for POTUS. How could they smear a man with such integrity? I have no doubt they would try. After all, the only way a liberal can look good is to make everyone else around him look bad. Good luck lefty smear monkeys. Time for you all to STFU and get out of the way. You’ve played your hand and now we all know your tricks. It won’t work again. I would be proud to vote for Allen West. I would even campaign for him and send my money to his campaign headquarters. Oh, but I forgot, I’m a racist because I didn’t vote for Nobama.
Slam dunk in 2012 a Hero vs nerO
A truth talking American in every respect. Thank God as We need him and more of his ilk.
I will stand with this man for our great country.
We will “Palin-ize” him if he gets too big for his britches. He needs to get back on the liberal plantation, where he belongs! Darn Oreo!
“unionized entitlement class”, now that’s an understatement by a man with incredible leadership skills.
