Red meat doesn’t get much redder than this, my friends. Javier Manjarres at the Shark Tank took this video at a townhall meeting conducted by Rep. Allen West, where CAIR’s executive director Nezar Hamze tried to score a couple of points off of West. Instead, West ends up schooling Hamze on history, both ancient and recent, noting pointedly that Hamze’s professions of peace certainly seem to be undermined by some of his brethren in the faith:

Congressman West closed his retort by referencing the Fort Hood shootings and 9-11 attacks, saying that his first hand experiences on the battlefield has given him insight into the tactics that Islamists use before telling Hamze not to “try to blow sunshine up my butt” with his criticism of him. West took offense to Hamze’s amateurish criticism of his stance on radical Islam and concluded by telling Mr. Hamze to “put the microphone down and go home.”

The audience appeared less than impressed with Hamze and his grandstanding, and more than impressed with West’s preparation on the topic.

In a sane world Allen West would be president, and the Communist, Muslim fraud currently destroying the US of A would be put in a box and shipped back to Kenya.

Allen West not ruling out VP bid: 'I'm always willing to serve my country'

Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) is not closing the door to being considered for the vice presidential spot, despite only having served in Congress for less than three months.

Speculation over West was sparked Friday when former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.), who is considering a presidential bid, said that a number of Florida GOP politicians would do well as vice president, including West.

When asked about Gingrich's comments by WPTV-TV, West asked, "He said that?""I have to pray about it and I have to clear it with my wife and two daughters," he added. "I never thought that seven years ago when I retired here I'd be a United States congressman, and that I'd be standing in front of your news camera. So we don't know what the future holds, but I'm always willing to serve my country."

West, 50, is one of two black Republicans elected to Congress in the 2010 midterm elections, which saw the GOP take control of the House with the backing of Tea Party activists. Florida has never had a candidate on a national ticket, according to WPTV.

To become vice president, West would need to be chosen by the Republican Party's presidential nominee after a thorough vetting process.

During his short time in Washington, West has garnered significant media attention for his staunchly conservative views on policy and his tough talk.

West, a decorated lieutenant colonel, served in the Iraq war but was the subject of an investigation into his behavior during an interrogation of an Iraqi police officer, and subsequently retired.

Allen West is the embodiment of what an American Patriot is, period.

Only advice I would give him is to smile more. His intensity might frighten some voters. Then again, he's a serious man and we're living in serious times.

Just imagine this guy in a debate with the Kenyan or Biden! :LMAO

Disgusted Allen West to Dems: Grow Up!

Rookie U.S. Rep. Allen West delivered a stinging indictment of his colleagues in a letter to constituents in which he rails about House members? ?ignorance, belligerence, and dishonest rhetoric.? Without naming names, but clearly implying that he was including President Barack Obama, the Florida Republican also decried Washington?s interference with Wisconsin?s budget turmoil. The text of the letter to residents of Florida's 22nd District:

<table align="right" border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" width="200"> <tbody> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr align="center"> <td>U.S. Rep Allen West</td> </tr> </tbody> </table>

?Over this past week I have watched and listened to members of the House of Representatives from across the aisle.

?I am appalled at their ignorance, belligerence, and dishonest rhetoric filled with empty emotional platitudes. Have they no shame in realizing that their inept, incompetent failures are the reason why we are debating this continuing resolution. They failed to pass a budget during the 111th Congress.

?Have they no honor in realizing that their fiscal irresponsibility over the past four years has resulted in our standing on the precipice of a fiscal canyon from which we may not recover.

?Also troubling are the events in the state of Wisconsin which mirror those that happened in Greece several months ago. We are witnessing the abject hostility of a unionized entitlement class that is being lauded by the liberal left, seemingly to include our President." :thumbsup

?It is such a critical time for our Republic, yet there seems no visionary leadership ? it is as if America stopped producing adults. I have never seen a greater assembly of petulance and sophomoric behavior as what I have witnessed this week on the floor of the House of Representatives.

?To those across the aisle, please explain to the American people how your economic policies have created a better environment for long-term sustainable growth.

?This debate is about jobs and the economy.

?It begins with remedying the spending problem on Capitol Hill. It includes tackling the burdensome taxation and regulation policies strangling our country. It is the understanding that Keynesian tax and spend policies did not grow America?s economy, but the indomitable, entrepreneurial spirit of the American people.

?Government sets the conditions for job and economic growth, it does not create jobs.

?I am pleased that we are having open debate in the peoples? house. However, there is clearly something lacking in this discourse ? the recognition of the failure of the bureaucratic nanny-state liberal policies.

?Rest assured that I will do everything in my ability to stand firm and lead on the principles that make America exceptional.?

Don't forget about the 6 years before that .Come on selective memory only works in the nursing home!!

“Also troubling are the events in the state of Wisconsin which mirror those that happened in Greece several months ago. We are witnessing the abject hostility of a unionized entitlement class that is being lauded by the liberal left, seemingly to include our President." :thumbsup
Class warfare at it's finest.Just do away with the 1st amendment and go to Fascism.

“It is such a critical time for our Republic, yet there seems no visionary leadership — it is as if America stopped producing adults. I have never seen a greater assembly of petulance and sophomoric behavior as what I have witnessed this week on the floor of the House of Representatives.


“To those across the aisle, please explain to the American people how your economic policies have created a better environment for long-term sustainable growth.
Did you forget about the tax cuts??Come on that is the answer to everything according to you.

“This debate is about jobs and the economy.
You telling me those tax cuts for the last 10 years is not working??What now??More tax cuts for the wealthy??Sure that will do it this time right?:LMAO

“It begins with remedying the spending problem on Capitol Hill. It includes tackling the burdensome taxation and regulation policies strangling our country. It is the understanding that Keynesian tax and spend policies did not grow America’s economy, but the indomitable, entrepreneurial spirit of the American people.
Wow!!!All we have been hearing is tax breaks and now that we have had them for over 10 years they are not working??What now??

“Government sets the conditions for job and economic growth, it does not create jobs.
It creates them for other counties quite well.Remember those taxes that went for that??

“I am pleased that we are having open debate in the peoples’ house. However, there is clearly something lacking in this discourse — the recognition of the failure of the bureaucratic nanny-state liberal policies.
More tax breaks right??

“Rest assured that I will do everything in my ability to stand firm and lead on the principles that make America exceptional.”
