Allen West delivered another great speech at a tea party event down in Boca Raton, Florida. He takes on Obama, specifically what he said in his speech the other day, and points how the absurdity of the things Obama said. But my favorite part of the speech came at the end:

The future is at stake for our country! And now is the time, for all of my fellow Americans to rise up with voices stentorian, and say we will not go away! The United States of America, it’s greatest days are ahead of us!

Enjoy!

    PALIN/WEST in 2012!!!!!

      Are you crazy? West shouldn’t even be said in the same breath as Sarah Palin. He is soooo far above her.

        Typical politician-du-jour fawning at the Right Scoop. Look, West is a first-term Congressman; no legislative record yet to defend or advance. ONE SIMPLE QUESTION: Why has Rep. West NOT joined Bachmann’s House TEA Party Caucus ?? This site has turned into a love-fest for frustrated voters who will fall in love with politicians that feed them the conservative tidbit of the day… SAD reflection on the state of affairs amongst the citizenry….

        • PammyFaye

          Really, coffee, he simply does not have the experience that Obama had when elected president. We knew exactly where Obama stood on everything – “present”. Unless, of course, when it came to what to do with babies who survived abortions…then we knew he wanted to just let them die. After all, the mom-to-be wanted a dead baby, she should get a dead baby. Give me a break. This man has more sense and ability in his little finger than Obama can ever hope to have.

            Debt and corruption; you’re preaching to the choir. I asked a question that NO ONE has answered; why hasn’t Rep West joined the House TEA Party Caucus ? Without unity in the House, RINO’s and faux-TEA Party candidates are gonna continue to frustrate and outrage all of US. If he was so passionate about the TEA Party precepts, he should have joined the House TP Caucus. He’s not the only one: Toomey, Rubio, Flake, Hensarling, Coburn, Inhofe, Ryan; none of these conservatives sought fit to join as well….

        You simply cannot study her accomplishments over her political career and come up with much substance to back up your statement.
        On the contrary her record shows a woman that is a well above average achiever and is often referred to by many that have dealings with her over several decades as very smart.

        Try turning off the msm…
        They have spent 2+ years and hundreds of millions of dollars trying to destroy Palin through Propaganda…
        They have done a fairly good job with the masses… but then most of us here are not your typical MSM drone either..

    If Allen West runs, he will be branded as a Quitter like Sarah Palin, which she was not. But I must say, since Reagan, I do not see anyone who has their hat in the ring that says “Show me respect, I have earned it.” Other then Alan West.

    • Tommyd

      Sarah Palin has been attacked more viciously than any politician in history by the msm & left.
      She has stood there for over 2 years and given it right back to them all.
      She has “Earned” it….

      Where has everyone else been while she has been fighting the opposition?

      Other than Bachman there is not a man in the house that has had the balls to stand up with those two..
      With few exceptions all the “Real Men” have been hiding behind their
      mommas skirts…

      There is no one that has been on the front like Palin has since 2008. No one.

      Allen West is a real warrior, he has my vote anytime, his time will come.

  • Macwell

    At this time, my choice is a Palin/West ticket and here’s why. Col. West needs the freedom of the office of VP to go hunting. Palin is well suited for president, and would do a great job leading. Col.West on the other hand, is more of a warrior and as VP, he would have the time, and resources to (hunt) out waste and corruption in government.
    I could picture Col. West showing up, unannounced, at this dept. or that agency, and demand an audit. It would be like a slasher film, drone heads would explode like a 4th of July picnic. The best part, if anyone gave the president any guff, Vice President, Col. Allen West, would be more than capable of defending her. I think it would be a great match, and an unbeatable ticket next year.

    • Peter Warner

      Macwell, I like your description. I had a similar thought yesterday, but for a different reason… which I hesitate to offer.

      If Sarah Palin was a vocal and popular voice in the Oval Office (and she would be), it would drive the far left to dangerous extremes. If Col. Allen West was the Vice President, they would be afraid to actually endanger her. It’s a terrible thought, but makes sense to me. Col. Allen West is far more frightening than Sarah, which would actually work for her protection.

      My first choice at the moment is West/Palin. I’m not sure if Sarah would accept that however, and West has not encouraged it. However, with every speech they both gain stature. Paul Ryan should be Treasury Secretary, I think.

      Best regards, Peter Warner.

    Excellent American Thinker Article

    The Mendacity of Barack Obama
    By Steve McCann

    Over my 45+ years in the business community, both domestic and international, I have dealt with an overwhelming variety of people of all races and political philosophies. Men and women who were thoroughly honest and many who had no concept of honor and integrity. Among them were those who would do or say anything to achieve their ends and do so with a straight face and an air of self-confidence that would deceive the most gullible. It is only through painful experience that one is finally able to develop an antenna to quickly weed out those charlatans.

    While I have always been wary of and have written about his dishonesty, after the speech the president delivered the 13th of April regarding the federal budget, one that was chock full of lies, deceit, and crass fear-mongering, it must be said that Barack Obama is the most dishonest, deceitful, and mendacious person in a position of power I have ever witnessed.

    That performance was the culmination of four years of outright lies and narcissism that have been largely ignored by the media, including some in the conservative press and political class who are loath to call Mr. Obama what he is in the bluntest of terms: a liar and a fraud. That he relies on his skin color to intimidate, either outright or by insinuation, those who oppose his radical agenda only adds to his audacity. It is apparent that he has gotten away with his character flaws his entire life, aided and abetted by the sycophants around him, thus he is who he is and cannot change.

    The question becomes is he a compulsive liar or a sociopath? By definition:

    A sociopath is typically defined as someone who lies incessantly to get their way and does so with little concern for others. A sociopath is often goal-oriented (i.e., lying is focused — it is done to get one’s way). Sociopaths have little regard or respect for the rights and feelings of others. Sociopaths are often charming and charismatic, but they use their talented social skills in manipulative and self-centered ways.

    A compulsive liar:

    A compulsive liar is defined as someone who lies out of habit. Lying is their normal and reflexive way of responding to questions. Compulsive liars bend the truth about everything, large and small. For a compulsive liar, telling the truth is very awkward and uncomfortable while lying feels right. Compulsive lying is usually developed in early childhood, due to being placed in an environment where lying was necessary.

    I came to the United States as a survivor of the Second World War. I spent my early years alone on the streets of a totally destroyed city somewhere in central Europe. In order to survive I had to steal food where I could and lie in order to survive. I spent a good part of my life, even after coming to America and being adopted, battling those inbred impulses. It was a never-ending struggle with successes and failures, but I was able to finally defeat those demons.

    What I say about Barack Obama I do not do lightly, but because I fear greatly for this country and can, not only from personal experience but in my dealing with others, recognize those failings in a person whose only interest is himself and his inbred radical ideology, which as its lynchpin desires to transform the country into a quasi-totalitarian state by any means possible.

    In the United States there is great deference paid to the occupant of the White House. Justifiably so, as that person is not only the chief operating officer of the country but also the head of state representing the nation around the globe. The president’s actions and demeanor set the tone for not only the political class but the country as a whole. Over the centuries there have many exceptional but also a few inept men to hold the office of President.

    Today so much power is now vested in the Office of President of the United States that honor and integrity must be a hallmark of a president’s character. It is not with Barack Obama; he may well be the most dishonest and disingenuous occupant of the Oval Office in history, and will do more damage to the nation than all his predecessors combined.

    His failings can no longer be excused by this historical deference or timidity fostered by race, with the euphemisms of spin, obfuscation, fabrication, or politics being used to avoid the truth. Obama is extremely adept at exploiting the celebrity culture that has overwhelmed the society as well as the erosion of the education system that has created a generation or more of citizens unaware of their history, culture as well as historical ethical standards based on Judeo-Christian teaching.

    While the future of the country depends on dramatically altering the economic and governing landscape, it cannot do so unless the opposition politicians and average citizens forcefully challenge and respond to the lies and machinations of Barack Obama and his allies without fear of what may be said about them or to them. As for me, I have already experienced far worse than anything that could be said or done to me. My only concern is for the welfare of my fellow citizens and the noblest experiment in the history of mankind: the United States.

    The potential for a revolution in the United States has long been a topic of discussion by strategists in Moscow and Beijing. In fact, the breakdown of America’s economy leading to a revolution was discussed by Soviet bloc leaders as far back as 1967, and Soviet strategy envisioned this eventuality as the key to victory over the United States. Even more alarming: There is a growing body of evidence suggesting that the United States, with all its self-made problems, has been pushed deeper into crisis by the hidden hand of Moscow. Readers should be directed to Kevin Freeman’s June 2009 report titled, Economic Warfare: Risks and Responses. Freeman outlines a three-phased attack on the U.S. economy which he suspects is already underway. The First Phase involves a “speculative run-up in oil prices” that generate as much as $2 trillion of excess wealth for oil-producing nations. Second comes “a series of bear raids targeting U.S. financial services firms.” Third is a “direct attack on the U.S. Treasury and U.S. dollar.” Freeman explained that, “A focused effort to collapse the dollar by dumping Treasury bonds has grave implications including the possibility of a downgrading of U.S. debt forcing rapidly rising interest rates and a collapse of the American economy. In short, a bear raid against the U.S. financial system….”

  • Justt0mmyb0y

    Unfortunately, Palin cannot beat Obama and West is a first term man. Same problem for Rubio and Christie. They will have to run in 2016. As for right now, I think Trump is the ONLY person that can beat Obama. Romney, Gingrich, Pawlenty, Huckabby and Bachman really have no chance with the Liberal/Progressive Media. The media will destroy them and praise Obama. On the other hand, Trump is already destroying the media. TRUMP 2012!! Let “The Don” fix the economy and our international affairs. Then we can elect one of the other Repubs to fix the rest.

He is an A-One First Class Bad Ass, there’s no number two spot good enough for him. He’s passionate, Patriotic, loves this country and the people, and will stand firm, no question, and drain this sesspool in Washington. He’s already had a bill passed with a unanimous vote regarding wasteful spending, he is a LEADER and knows his sh**…From strategic skills on the battle field, the budget deficit issues, the enemies within, he’s gets it all.. Someone said he was a God send, that’s the Truth, baby. And Allen West said it’s up to God (and his wife) about his decision to run. Now we have to do our part to get him in.

    There was a short interview with NewsMax that happened before this speech.
    He was asked about a VP run with Trump.
    He made it kinda clear that that would be up to whoever won the nomination, and that it was serious business running for a leadership position…but it didn’t sound like he was rulling it out the concept.

    Yes!
