Allen West: Our Incompetent President's Defense Cuts Decimate the Military

Rep. Allen West (R-FL) gave an interview to Washington D.C. radio station WMAL on Friday, in which the shy and retiring former Army colonel quietly expressed a few mild criticisms of the Obama Administration’s recently announced military cuts.

Also, he’s just the tiniest bit displeased with the way both House and Senate Republican leaders handled the “payroll tax cut” drama at the end of the year. The hosts really had to work to bring Rep. West out of his shell...

The term “decimate” means to kill off one TENTH.
ONLY one tenth???????

Yagotta be kidding me.

The Republicans went along with the military cut trigger in the budget. They should stop acting surprised and outraged. Could not of happened with out their cooperating.

Obama’s not smart enough to run a snocone stand.

“Barack! Where’s your snocone cart?”
“I traded it for these magic beans.”
“Let me see them. These aren’t beans, these are rocks.”
“Ohhh...they are magic. They changed from beans to rocks.”

0bama may well be incompetent. But those pulling his strings know precisely what they’re doing. It’s pure, naked, smirking evil.

The key is getting the dumbed-down American electorate to understand why this is a bad thing. Somehow have to relate a weak military to their ability to access their favorite electronic toys.

I love and admire Rep. West but I hope that we do clear all troops out of Europe. (Or at least out of Italy, Spain and Germany.)

I believe most people think of the 3rd definition:

Definition of DECIMATE

transitive verb

1
: to select by lot and kill every tenth man of

2
: to exact a tax of 10 percent from

3
a: to reduce drastically especially in number
b: to cause great destruction or harm to

The republicans are at least stomping their feet before they shrink off to their dark little corners..... Thats a start.

Part of the "new speak" fostered by progressive liberal "educators". Many words have lost their true meanings or been outright banned (niggardly) because they might offend the ignorant.

Our Incompetent President’s Defense Cuts Decimate the Military

That's the point, isn't it? That's #3871 on the Destroy America List.

I’m with you! I really hate that (mis) usage! Michael Savage is especially guilty. Makes me want to “decimate” him! But of course it is hopeless - the ignorant masses rule!

Thanks truthkeeper, and Allen West.

As an example, recall Wendy Sherman, undersecretary of state for political affairs at the State Department, who doesn’t consider the multi-decade national North Korean famine to be a problem.

She’s probably a big fan of Walter Duranty, Uncle Joe and the Holodomor.

Actually, people of her ilk and inclination consider it a feature. Fits right in with their eliminationist worldview.

The Pakistani-Peruvian axis meets and converges with the Scandinavian-Slavic axis. Two vast, cruel and ultimately murderous world-historical currents have merged into a catastrophic flood. We here in America stand alone against it. "There is a tide in the affairs of men..."
