Star Parker on Congressman Allen West (R-FL)

You need to read the article on Townhall, by Star Parker. Her article stems from the event where Florida Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL), also Democratic National Committee chair, suggested that the nasty email she got from Congressman Allen West (R-FL), responding to her attack on him in the House, resulted from him being “under pressure.”

Of course, Allen West is under pressure. As is every freedom loving American, as we watch our great country sink.

Cowboy's comment: Does anyone really think LTC (ret) Allen West, who fought terrorists and insurgents in the streets and fields of Iraq, feels pressured from an idiot like Wasserman Schultz?

In two and a half years, a left wing Democrat president along with a left wing Democrat congress, controlled by the likes of Ms Wasserman Schultz, have changed this country so fundamentally it is not clear at all to what extent we can recover.

In just two and half years, they’ve increased federal spending a trillion dollars. It took George W. Bush, the largest spender since President Johnson, eight years to accomplish this.

The national debt stood at $10.6 trillion when Barack Obama became president. Now, two and a half years later, it’s at $14.3 trillion. A forty percent increase.

Allen West, who were elected in the 2010 electoral backlash, are trying to do something to save our future. One is the Cut, Cap, and Balance bill that the House just passed, which was the focus of Wasserman Schultz’s attack on West.

Wasserman Schultz got on West for supporting this bill, calling this a platform for cutting Medicare for the seniors in his district.

Let’s get things straight.

The threat to seniors is Obamacare.

It cuts $500 billion out of Medicare to pay for its new socialized medicine regime.

We have turned our lives, health, and pocketbooks over to the same humble geniuses who told us that $850 billion in stimulus spending would create 4 million jobs and prevent unemployment from going over 8 percent.

Today one and half million fewer Americans are working than when Barack Obama became president and unemployment stands at 9.2 percent.

West explained the vitriol of the left toward him, one of two black Republicans in the House, as stemming from his “being the guy that got off their 21st century plantation.”

Cowboy's comment: This man should be our President. Anyone for a straight Florida ticket of West-Rubio for 2012? Together they have more common sense and honor than all the King's (Obama) Men (his cabinet and czars) put together.
