I’ve listened to some of this, but I haven’t had time to watch this in its entirety. But it’s Allen West – how can you go wrong with Allen West?!!

It runs for about 24 min and West speaks primarily on education.

Enjoy!

    This meeting was on EDUCATION.

    It's not a 'rousing, invigorating' “Call to Action” speech.

    It IS 'meat-n-potato' TRUTH about the subject.

    The man does NOT hide… on ANY subject, and makes good “common” sense in every regard. I'll stand with that ANY DAY.

    What do we do about the two lost generations that have already left school without learning these values and information? They will be the ones in charge for the next fifty, sixty years. Will they know what and why to fight for?

    No. Look how they voted. Obviously, not ready to lead.

    A lot of us Progressives have been saying in Florida for a long time that FCAT was absolutely the wrong way to go about improving the education. It puts too much emphasis on a single test, and there are plenty of students who learn, but just don't test well. There are also plenty with LDs, who can't be held to the same standard as those without.

    You can't prepare everyone to lead. If everyone thinks they can lead, who will do the following?

    West is dead wrong on teachers being underpaid. They are grossly overpaid and that is well documented. Check with Thomas Sowell about the teaching profession's
    ability to do their job.

    No, the Party. They picked an radical ideologue with an social agenda 20 miles long, no experience, and no ability to adapt when the going gets tough. 3 months to decide on Afghan troops. 80 days to ponder the oil spill. Months without appointees in key Financial slots. He was lucky enough to have a super-majority in Congress or he wouldn't have passed any of his social stuff (and even then it took some RINO's). Bush gave him a $300 Billion handoff out of the gate (and by the way Bush created TARP that apparently Geitner thinks was pretty cool) How many Republican votes has he gotten total on any of his initiatives? Probably the least in history on the most massive social legislation ever. Even with that they couldn't fill in the blanks in the legislation because Obama knew they could never get it through if they wrote it down beforehand.

    He's not dealt at all with the real cause of the financial collapse which was 1)Democrats took Congress in 2006 and their liberal policies are screwed; 2)Fannie, Freddie, and Ginnie.

    I don't understand, “No, the PArty.” What exactly is this the answer to?

    He took 3 months to decide on Afghanistan troops, and then, as far as I can tell, made the wrong decision. 80 days to ponder the oil spill.. what would you have had him do, that wouldn't have looked like he was taking over the oil industry? Building Jindal's sand berms… most environmental experts who've reviewed it, have said it wouldn't be effective, and could do more harm than good. The only reason he needed a supermajority in Congress was because the GOP was filibustering nearly everything in sight. Sometimes, even appointments that they actually had no objection to and later passed overwhelmingly. That's not governing, that's just being a bunch of sore losers. Could you imagine if Bush had faced similar tactics from the Dems? He wouldn't have gotten a single thing accomplished.

    And he wasn't “lucky” to have a supermajority… we lost those Senate seats in 2006 and 2008.

    True, he hasn't dealt with Fannie and Freddie in the financial bill.. but those didn't cause the collapse… it was the collapse that took them down, just as it did Lehman Bros. The cause of the collapse was the repeal of Glass-Steagall, and the protections they had in place. Suddenly, the financial markets were transformed from a marketplace where businesses could go to raise capital… to a giant casino where traders could gamble all day on whether other gamblers would win or lose… and they're all betting the rent money.
