Allen West's Stand on the Black Panthers
E mail from Allen B West ^ | July 8, 2010 | Lt. Allen B. West, US Army, retired

Posted on 07/08/2010 2:25:09 PM PDT by HonestConservative

The following is a promise, written by the hand of Allen B. West, candidate for congress from Florida's 22nd district. “The recent decision by the Obama Justice Department to drop all charges of voter intimidation against the New Black Panther Party during the 2008 Election represents a sad day for all Americans. For an Administration that promised a new era in race relations, Obama and the Democrats in Congress have demonstrated that race will continually be exploited for political gain. It is outright hypocrisy that the Justice Department under Attorney General Holder is suing a sovereign American State, yet dismissing this heinous violation of our Constitution – the right to vote.

Throughout history, the Democrat party has been the standard bearer of voter intimidation in America – only this time the once victim is now the perpetrator.

The recent comments and actions of the New Black Panther Party are despicable, disgusting, and completely reprehensible. It is with no reservation that I make a formal condemnation of this racist and extremist group, which is anathema to the principles and values that make America a great Nation. For those who would define our country as a “nation of cowards,” or who feel the United States is neither great nor exceptional, and to any other racist and extremist groups, feel free to show yourselves the door.

As a young black man who grew up in the inner city of Atlanta, my Mom and Dad taught me that which is presented in the Declaration of Independence – that all men are created equal. I was taught – and I have taught my children – that there is no such thing as an African American or Black American, only American. That there is only one true race – the Human race. That the only colors that matter in this country are Red, White and Blue. That, as a Constitutional Republic, the rule of law is paramount in binding us as a Nation.

Throughout our Congressional campaign endeavor to restore honor, integrity, and character to the US House of Representatives, I have been called many things by some black Americans – token, Uncle Tom, sellout, oreo cookie, and many others. And the so-called leaders of the black movement – mainly those in the Congressional Black Caucus – have remained silent in their condemnation of these race-baiting critics.

The dye has been cast in this election cycle – Democrats and their liberal progressive socialist allies will continue to play the race card when it is politically expedient. I demand an investigation of the New Black Panther Party and the placement of it, along with any extremist group, be placed on the Terrorist Watch List if warranted. If that it not done prior to my taking the oath of office as a United States Congressman, it will happen soon thereafter.”

Steadfast and Loyal,

Lt. Col. Allen B. West (US Army, retired)

*** that there is no such thing as an African American or Black American, only American. That there is only one true race – the Human race. That the only colors that matter in this country are Red, White and Blue.***

These are words that bring us all together. What a sharp contrast to Obama. There really is hope for America if we can get guys like this leading us. Hope he wins!

Well said, but should be die is cast not dye are cast.
Die in this case is the singular of dice.

“Freedom Radio welcomes back Dan Fanelli, Sunday July 18 for a GREAT interview.

Great show line up and I sure will be listening in on Sunday evening!

You know that Dan Fanelli is my other favorite veteran to send to Congress from our Sunshine state! We need Allen West and Dan Fanelli in Congress to make sure we succeed in taling back our country and placing honesty and integrity back in Congress.

We know that Allen and Dan will not only sponser legislation that is right for America they will have our Constitution in the front of their minds when they do so!

I will keep on spreading the word about these two great patriots! I hope all Floridians and Freepers everywhere will make a visit to
Allen West at: http://www.allenwestforcongress.com/ and
Dan Fanelli at: http://electdan2010.com/ to make a donation to their campaigns.

Let's help Allen West and Dan Fanelli send Socilast/DEM Ron Klein and Socialist/DEM Alan Grayson as far away from Congress as possible!
