Allen West: "Kiss the Ring"
Wheels on the Road ^ | April 20, 2009 | Allen West

Posted on 04/20/2010 6:18:45 AM PDT by HonestConservative

“ There are so many thoughts running through my brain but they all come back to the events of Thursday, 15 April 2010….Tax Day. On that day I had the distinct honor and pleasure to address two TEA Party groups; Ft Lauderdale and West Palm Beach. It was a fantastic gathering of everyday Americans with their families.

However, we get the topic of this month’s installment from our dear President. It was President Obama who after the tax day rallies admonished the participants that they should just say, “Thank You”. That is correct; his highness believes that you loyal subjects should be thankful for all the new taxes and growth of government imposed in his first year.

So what exactly is the T.E.A. Party movement, first of all it stands for Taxed Enough Already, and associates itself with the original Boston Tea Party. The first tea party lamented the issue of “taxation without representation”. The current tea party addresses “taxation with misrepresentation”, as evidenced by the Obamacare legislative process involving more broken arms than at a rugby match. The tea party today is made of all walks of life and it is just amazing how so many are seeking to define it and harness it into something which they can understand. It is a movement of American conscience, not a political party. It is a movement that is based upon principle of governance and philosophy, not partisan politics. When you are at a tea party event you feel a sense of that which started America on this road some 233 years ago; human will and yearning for Liberty.

Regardless of the insidious claims, this movement stretches across race, gender, age, and ethnicity. If you recognize that which makes America unique, and yes President Obama, exceptional, you understand the tea party movement. But why is it that the tea party has drawn so much attention, negative mostly, from media sources and political operatives? One word, it is fear. Today is the 15th anniversary of a tragic and terrible day in America, the Oklahoma City bombing. What should be a day of remembrance and mourning was used by another Democrat President, Bill Clinton, to launch a despicable attack against the tea party movement. Clinton made the comparison of what resulted in the deaths of 168 Americans to Americans seeking to “redress their grievances to government”, highly disgusting and dishonorable. In accordance with such we have Time magazine writer Joe Klein accusing Sarah Palin and others of sedition, a felony crime. What we are witnessing is the imagined fear of the liberal progressives in America. They are attempting to create a sense of intimidation and violence where no such thing exists. The constant stoking and probing for the smoking gun that will solidify their claim comes up empty time and time again. The real fear of the liberal progressives is that the silent majority is no longer silent and is rejecting their collectivist, big government agenda centered on nationalizing production and expansion of the entitlement class. Americans are rejecting the notion of the nanny-state where we find 47% of Americans are not paying taxes. We are rejecting the liberal progressive objective of having a majority of Americans wedded to government either by subsistence checks or by employment. The real fear is that since 2006 the Democrat party has laid ruin to our fundamental principles upon which America was built, namely our Constitution. They realize that there is a true danger for them in the mid-term elections of 2010, that means you too Ron Klein! And that is not intimidation, just means we will defeat you in the Congressional race for Florida district 22.

If one really wants a lesson in political intimidation you need only look to the history of the Democrat party. It is the party which created the Ku Klux Klan as its terrorist arm. It is the party of segregation, Jim Crow laws, poll taxes, and lynching, among other forms of violence. It is the party that reversed much of the Reconstruction era civil rights legislation and would have blocked the Civil Rights Act of the early 1960’s, save not for Republican Senator Everett Dirksen.

Today the Democrat party maintains its intimidation mantra through the thugs of ACORN, SEIU, New Black Panther Party, Code Pink, and anarchist groups. See if any political party recognizes violence and intimidation in America, it is the Democrat party.

Now with the media in tow, they have expanded their means by which to attack simple Americans yearning for their freedom and liberty. Let us never forget the heinous treatment of former President George W Bush and the last American President to be shot……a Republican, Ronald Reagan.

It is beyond contempt and belief that the party who promoted slavery and segregation is now attempting to call anyone racist. I find it absolutely humorous when the left attacks me as a; radical, racist, uncle tom, oreo, sellout, and token. The actions of the left media who interviewed a black Gentleman at a tea party trying to coach him into condemning the tea party as racist is reprehensible, but indicative of the MSM. The real racists in America are liberal progressives. Their dishonest tyranny which promotes failing social welfare policies centers on enslavement, not empowerment. They have created a new 21st century plantation and utilize such people as Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and the Congressional black caucus as their plantation overseer’s. The duplicitous hypocrisy of a Senator Harry Reid making statements about “light-skinned” and “non-negro dialect” as being acceptable to him is the essence of racism. How funny, that the mindless lemming lap dogs who refer to themselves as black leaders gave him a pass. Therefore, I am proud to stand with my American Brothers and Sisters, and their children, at TEA Party events and rallies. I would rather stand with them than live in shame and submission to the party of slavery, secession, segregation, and now socialism. It is amazing to me that President Obama and his cronies find it hard to address our real enemies; Islamic terrorists, muslim extremists, and jihadists. Instead he seeks to ridicule and demonize Americans exercising their Constitutional rights, truly Alinsky style. The TEA Party movement is about the rejection of his policies, not his skin color. The TEA Party movement is about rejecting ruling class elitism and career politicians that feel Americans should say thank you and in submission, “Kiss the Ring”. Americans have no issue with being justly governed, but we will reject being ruled, ask the last fella who tried, King George III. We are having a TEA Party across the land, time for true Americans to make a stand. Steadfast and Loyal! LTC A B West (USA, Ret)

I love West, and have been watching him for a while — I wish I could vote for him. He’ll certainly receive a generous donation from me.

Anyone else think West could be our (currently) unknown Presidential candidate in 2012? Imagine West/Bachmann, or West/Ryan, or West/Cantor...

The Old Dogs need to step aside. No Gingrich, Romney, or Huckabee. Not this time.

I don’t know who will be president in 2012, but this guy is my president already. This speech did it for me.

In a tough district against an entrenched incumbent, West has done a superb job of establishing himself as a credible and now well-funded candidate. With a strong GOP tide this year, West has a good shot at winning. And if he does win, he will quickly become a major political star for the GOP.

He tells it like it is... is very articulate...doesn't need a teleprompter.

“I love West, and have been watching him for a while — I wish I could vote for him. He’ll certainly receive a generous donation from me.”

My hubby and I can not vote for Allen either from here in Florida District 10, but we sure can vote for him with our donations!

Wonder if you are a Florida Freeper. I do know that many Freepers across the US are sending what they can in donations to candidates they know are true Constitutional Conservatives! And Lt.Col.(Ret.)Allen West is the real deal!

We also have another great Constitutional Conservative running in Florida District 8! And Lt.Comdr.(Ret)Dan Fanelli is the man to send Progressive/DEM Alan Grayson packing in November! http://electdan2010.com/

My dream is to see Allen West in our White House and I will do everything I can to make that happen! But if he were to enter the 2012 race he wold have to start out on the campaign trail just a few months after getting into Congress. Don't believe Allen would want to do that.

“The Old Dogs need to step aside. No Gingrich, Romney, or Huckabee. Not this time.”

I agree! Time for new blood and anyone with a Socialist blood cell in their system needs to stay home!

DITTO that for me too! I supported Allen in his first race in 08, and will continue to support him right to the office of President! If I have my way, Allen will be President in the very near future!
