An Insult to all Vets; "Allen West is a Hypocrite" [Barf Alert]
The Broward Beat ^ | March 16, 2010 | Sam Fields

The following necessitates a BARF ALERT!

Allen West is a Hypocrite and Other Goodies

by Sam Fields

At some point during his campaign someone has to ask Allen West, Republican candidate for Congress: “Are you now or have you ever been a member of the Communist Party?”

While he might deny party membership, he would have difficulty disputing that his 22-years Army stint was living the Marxist dream.

West – the retired Army lietuenant colonel running the second time for Congress in U. S. House District 22 – never had to spend a day worrying about corporate bankruptcy, competition, layoffs or a bounced paycheck. Housing, healthcare and food were taken care of by the government.

I am not suggesting the Army should be any other way or that risking your life does not justify this economic security.

What I am saying is that West is hypocritical to question national health insurance, while having taken advantage of a VA healthcare system where everything is owned by the government and everyone works for the government.

It’s absurd to claim to be a spokesman for free enterprise when you choose a professional career of living off the government teat and are now trying to get another “gummint” job.

West is a hypocrite.

It seems the left is terrified of Col. West, as well they should be.

In your hat, Mr. Fields!

Feel free to leave Mr. Fields a message of endearment at the link provided above.

They are faulting him for the military’s medical.

By the way, if the Dems wanted to include me in their medi-care, medic-aid, medi-cal program, they could probably do that with the stroke of a pen and a bill about two pages long.

So, whats the other 2398 pages for?

This is the same kind of convoluted attacks they pull on Palin.

Seems to me that having served in the military has more than paid for his VA care.

I fired the VA....I found Medicare was better, and now I have fired Medicare and will be dropping part B coverage and going rogue.

It's all gone to hell since Obama moved into the white house.

I wonder if there is a connection?(sarc)

Of course, you are. How many years did you spend in the US Army?

Guest "columnist" - Sam Fields.

This blog doesn't look like much. How the heck did you come across it?

I think most people that have “enjoyed” military medical care would campaign against unleashing it on the nation at large. How many parents want to take their child to sick call?

Listening to the audio book, “Forgotten Man”.

So many parallels to what Roosevelt did. It is amazing.

Fields appears to be some sort of new and improved moron who doesn’t understand the difference between earning something and stealing it.

Ah, I didn’t write it, you’ll have to ask Mr. Fields.

I am very proud to say I am one of the original Allen West supporters, so point your ammo elsewhere.

Yeah.......He's Roosy resurrected. Both of them, actually. Teddy hated capitalism as well and he tried to kill it.

It was sent to me with more people CC’d than have probably ever read Mr. Fields’ “work”.

However, it should be addressed, since surrogates are often assigned the duty of smear campaigns.

Hmmm, interesting statement.

I would consider it just compensation for 21 long years of my life.

I’t be interesting to see if there is a connection between this clown and Rep. Ron Klein, like maybe he cleans Mr. Klein’s pool.

Friend....CalTexan wasn’t talking to YOU; he was commenting directly on a quote taken from the idiot’s post. He even posted the offending sentence in his reply. That’s how it’s done here. Relax.
