Rep. Allen West: We Need Strong Women to Raise American Men Like They Did in Ancient Sparta…
Your daily dose of Allen West awesomeness.
Part 1:
Part 2:
. . . But when you understood what made the Spartan men strong, it was the Spartan women, because the Spartan women at the age of nine gave up their male sons. And their male sons went into a training that was called the Agoge and they stayed in that training for the next eleven to twelve years. And when they were finally qualified — when they were finally ready to join the ranks for the Spartan army — it was not their father who gave them their cloak and shield; it was the mother who gave them their shield. And when the Spartan mother gave that young Spartan warrior his shield, she gave him this basic commandment: she said, “Spartan, here is your shield. Come back bearing this shield or being borne upon it!”
When Queen Gorgo, wife of King Leonidas, was questioned by a Persian emissary, and she somewhat spoke out of turn to this Persian emissary, he tried to rebuke her. And she looked at him and said, “Persian, beware, for it is Spartan women who raise Spartan men.”

Thank you God
Why isn’t this man a candidate? How many more people in the military and other parts of society like him are out there? When I hear this man speak, it gives me hope!
why is this man not our president????? I’ll take him, trump or palin.
I’m not gay, not even close, but Allan West is doing his damnedest to make me wanna give him a big sloppy kiss right on the fucking lips.
Cain speaks well too and he knows business West/Cain 2012 or reversed
I’ve said it before.
The GOP will be hard at work to marginalize the likes of West, Cain and Palin at every turn. They’re as much a threat to the GOP as they are to the dems.
Please, please prove me wrong.
Hell, anymore and I might just slip him some tongue…..
It’s like he just walked off the set of a Clint Eastwood Western.
He’s the character at the end who stares down the ‘no-good bastards’ who have been victimizing everyone, and he never flinches.
They KNOW he’s serious!
.
This is now an Allen West facts thread:
Allen West beats up 100 times his weight in hippies every day………and that’s just before breakfast.
Boys must leave the world of women and enter the world of men. A good women knows her role in raising a good son just as her husband knows his role and time.
A poor mother wants to keep that herself in that motherly, life giver role forever. A weak father also wants her on that same pedistal. We need men who know what is noble and good; men who accept the true value of women as co-equal with unique and non-interchangable roles .
Study and contrast the Middle East societies and how the boys are raised…wonder why there are suicide bombers?
Allen West not only pick-pocketed a ninja once……he also made him wash dishes to pay for his lunch.
Simply put: Allen West is a Great American.
@ JJ: I agree. I live in the middle east now. I don’t see a hell of a lot of the “metrosexual” culture nor do they play the “victim card”. Those are all western inventions from the left. I’ve got 2 stepdaughters. One finished her degree in Mandarin Chinese and is in the army. The other is still at home with mom but that’s gonna change soon too. She’s 14 and time goes by fast. I don’t seem to have the worries that my girls are going to grow up to be layabouts, losers, or “alternative lifestyle” douchebags that my colleagues at work do. Oldest daughter joined the army and is a US citizen now. She got baptized 4 years ago. My wife and stepdaughters are Turkish and have seen hard times (and I don’t mean wal-mart’s being closed, or Macdonalds out of milkshakes!). That may have something to do with it.
Who doesn’t love West…he’s the absolute best- you just can’t get enough of him.
I wished to heck he would run for Prez!
“We just lost eight soldiers in Afghanistan…”
Here’s the reception back in Mississippi when USMC Staff Sgt. Jason Rogers was laid to rest in Brandon on 4/14/2011.
This was after the people from the Westboro Baptist Church got their ass kicked.

God bless our soldiers and the people of Brandon, Mississippi.
We need more prominent people who lead from the front by example.
Allen West is 100 feet tall and can fell a tree with a glance.
West/Cain 2012!!
Dem be some harsh (mother)fuckers if you ask me …..
Allen West once won a poker game against JohnWayne, Superman and God holding nothing but a handful of Steak ‘N Shake coupons.
Yeah we need women to raise good men, but damn it, we need men to quit acting like a bunch of metrosexual weenies.
@Royinar
Amen to that one brother!
I get his point…i do.
however, its not going to be long before some lefty takes West’s admiration of Spartan society to say he should be pro abortion since Spartan’s literally threw away newborns they considered unfit. Its part of the reason they were such ass kickers.
Yes, we are going to need the Spartan values again if we are to hold the Persians at bay. And Allen West is the man to make it all happen.
Has everyone here seen this vid – “Israel is Sparta”, based on the movie “300″?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RSzaP3Veek
We have too few Spartans. If we were a nation of Spartans, little men like Obammy and his cohort would be marginalized, ostracized and dismissed.
Its time to draft Alan West. Time to start a letter writing campaign to convince him to run in 2012. He already knows that he is a man appointed for such a time as this. I think he just needs a push to put the bar up a tad higher than Congress.
How many Spartans will be standing tall when the leftist loons come for our Constitional rights?
I speak for myself and my friends who also say “Come and get them”.
West/Cain 2012 “We’re tired of the rest. Its time for West”
West/Cain or West/Bolton… Either way, it’s a WIN for America…
Some here doubt my Conservative creds because I have problems with Palin, too f*cking bad… My Conservative creds are rock solid, I can just see, and recognize a RINO that will fold like a cheap suit at 1,000 yards…
West, Cain, Bolton, these are American men of character and leadership ability, and I don’t think they know what QUIT means…
I kinda have a man crush on this guy! Allen West 2012…God willing!

West/Bolton would be Awesome
Allen West carved the grand canyon with a flood of principled leadership unleashed by the destruction of the glacial ice dam of tyranny
Leadership, leadership, leadership.
This is what leadership looks like.
This is what leadersip sounds like.
This is what leadership acts like.
I am convinced that we need this man as a national leader.
Allen West can divide by zero !
Anyone who would vote for Donald Trump really should research and then rethink. The man is a liberal using the swing of the conservative movement to get attention.
http://allenwest2012.ning.com/
Allen West proved he could divide by zero by first hand drawing a perfect circle.
Cain/West, Herman can cover the business of running the country and let the VP clean up the mid east and teach the Senate and House some morals, how to have the back bone to do what’s right to get the USA back in shape, back to being number one.
Abolish congress and the supreme court. I vote for Allen West for Dictator.
“fogged” is right about Trump. A vote for Donald Trump would be like a vote for John McCain. Watch the lefties as they try to do to us again what they did in 2008. They will help Trump get the nomination and then turn on him with all their hatred and vile. Then we will get stuck with Yobama again.
Notice how Alen West does his speech without a teleprompter? He speaks from his heart and knows what he’s talking about.
He would not only demand the respect of our allies and enemies alike, but I feel he is the man who could start healing our serious racial divide (thanks to Obama) that we see growing worse by the day.
Palin POTUS in ’12
West Speaker of the House in ’12
Rubio Majority Leader in ’12
I am high on Allen West. Ahhh…
This man isn’t african american, asian america or mexican american,
hell he’s All American and can do the job America needs…..
Lt Col West if you need so kind of sigh that America needs you to serve
our beloved country once again, just visit this site and read our post, we
are indepted to you for what you have already done and we call upon
you one more time to serve a greater cause and restore the country back
to her people….
Our needs are in your hands and we challenge you to pick up the saber
one more time for your country…
With respect,
America, ‘The land of the free…
last time
I have to resist the urge to jump to attention and say
“sir, yes, sir” when he finishes a speech. We need to
reverse the pussification of American boys.
Shit, this guy rocks. He is vocal like Trump, but he knows what he is talking about. Unlike Trump.
Just when I think he can’t get any more awesome he does this.
No, no, no!!! We need all of the Wests, Bachmans, Rubios et all in The House and Senate to push the conservative agenda and lead the new conservatives as they arrive. The President is only one third of the government. We need that strong leadership in the legislative branch to balance wimps like McAmnisty and the Maine twins and of course the rhino from Alaska. I left Mass out as that man is the best we could ever expect to win from that nest of vipers. There is presidential material out there not currently serving. There is plenty of time to search them out.
@johnnycab23513
His name is Herman Cain
Dear Lt Col West,
You took an oath in the military and as a Congressman that contained the words “…I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign or domestic…” Well, I contend, sir, that We The People are in desperate need for your support. Republican 2012 presidential canidates are weak, at best, and will in all likehood lose to BHO as he will certainly get the votes of those on the gov’t dole which is well over 50%. Mr. West, your country needs you.
Sincerely,
Concerned Citizens
Who Love Their Country
This Man is Much More than AWESOME – He is G-D’s Man for THIS HOUR.
I pray Sarah will stand with him – Israel will be Blessed and Iran’s Mullah’s will all be shipped out to Hell!
Exciting Times as my dear friend Dr. Chuck Missler says! Hallelujah!
When I am old, and moribund.
If some reporter sticks a microphone in my face, and asks me to recall a moment in my life, that I will never forget, I would love to be able to say, that one of those moments, was the day I helped defeat the evil, anti-American Barak Hussein Obama.
Which is also the day, that I had the privilege, the honor, to vote for Colonel Allen West, for President of The United States of America.
Damn this guy is good. He could be the Left’s worst nightmare.
You mean “REAL” men like this?
https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=148661961865965
Again, I have to admit I am in love with this guy! I tell my husband this all of the time. President West sounds so awesome!
WOW. Indeed he is awesome.
He makes the Left apoplectic for the same reason Sarah Palin does: He can’t be shaken, because he stands on the Rock.
Even more than Sarah, West really and truly does not care about, and is not the tiniest bit intimidated by, the media.
Alan West is a great man.
I wish he would walk into the White House and drag Barrie out on the lawn and kick his ass.
I’m not on WZ site all the time, just saw a website promoting West as a draft candidate (on the Blaze) Http://www.draftallenwest2012.com. I’d link it but I’m inept at anything past basic typing. If this is old news my sincere apologies.
I agree to a point about beware it is Spartan women who raise Spartan men, the hand the rocks the cradle rules the world. but there are paralells to the spartan women knowingly raising their male child to give to the defense of the state and women in the middle east who strap a waist device and send their children off to meet their maker.
Islamic women in the who strap a waist device and send their children off to meet their maker ARE giving to the defense of the state.
The Islamic State.
Muslim, beware, for it is German women who raise German men.

Alright Zip, for Easter I am going to load up 300.
That movie always reminds me that the liberals are just like Ephialtes.
@Bluesky: Viewed it, loved it. They would have thrown her in jail in Dearbornistan.
“The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.”
I can’t vote for Palin.
We need *men* leading our country ~ that is the only way that America will return to *masculine strength.*
I admire woman politicians and I totally acknowledge their intelligence, skills, talents, and abilities. There is no doubt what-so-ever that women can do the job.
But that doesn’t mean that women automatically belong in political leadership positions. First of all, this mindset has created an imbalance, with most of the women working outside of the home with the result that they have turned their children over to the Feminist/Liberal/Commie/Marxist radicals in our schools, universities, and in our media. Western women have abandoned their post ~ is it any wonder then that our boys and men have become wimpy and weak??
We women need to first be at home raising our children, our sons to be strong men and our daughters to be women of integrity and virtue.
Perhaps it would make more sense if older, mature women ran for political offices *after* they raised their children first? By this point in their lives they will have come to understand, first-hand, the male mind. Perhaps this knowledge would help them to lead in a way that is balanced between feminine and masculine strength?
I sorta kinda agree w/ya Michelle.
West doesn’t want to step on toes and “offend” the GOP i.e. it’s not his “turn” yet. Hell w/that, our country is at stake.
Keep calling, faxing, emailing his offices requesting he run as in daily.
Cain/West – 2012
Gentlemen and gentle women – please vote to put this country on the road to standards and principles again.
God bless America I pray.
Allen west is W.I.NNING
A large percentage of women are totally ill-equiped to raise men. They raise life-long boys instead. I praise those that can raise men from childhood into adulthood and not bestow their inner feminine self on them, are to be commended.
As for Allen West, God bless and lead him to fulfill his potential to once again, serve his country with honor. Sadly, the experience with our ‘first black prez’ may have tainted the waters for a very long time.
One famous example comes from the time of the invasion of Philip II of Macedon. With key Greek city-states in submission, he turned his attention to Sparta and sent a message: “If I win this war, you will be slaves forever.” In another version, Philip proclaims: “You are advised to submit without further delay, for if I bring my army into your land, I will destroy your farms, slay your people, and raze your city.” According to both accounts, the Spartan ephors sent back a one word reply: “If.”[17] Subsequently, both Philip and Alexander would avoid Sparta entirely.
Yeah, but Spartans also had man-boy romantic and sexual relationships that developed into lifelong friendships and were supposed to create a tighter esprit de corps. But I’m sure Allen West didn’t mean for us to follow the Spartan example through to its logical conclusion.
