    I'm not a big Allen west guy, either (I guess that I prefer the more thoughtful black conservatives like Shelby Steele, Walter Williams, and Thomas Sowell), but he is who he is and he has every right to be that without some lunatic accosting him and his family in public. And in terms of answering your question, Les, yes, yes, yes, and yes.

    This guy was not ready at that moment to deal with an ideologue with a camera and a microphone.

    But he does generally have the right idea.

    That's why he innately knows that the Republican party and it's ideals today are an anathema to itself in the mid-19th century, and that's why this cleverly small little man with a camera and a microphone begs the question.

    It's easy to say "Lincoln was a republican," but it takes more explanation to show how the Republican party, from it's known precedents, has changed over the past almost 200 years now.

    So, the statement, "Well, the GOP is the party of Lincoln! Do you like Lincoln??? No????? DO YOU EAT BABIES?!?!?!?," is like a sleazy shuffle on a street corner in early 20th century New York City.

    This "conservative" filmmaker is a part of the problem, so to speak. He is the very element that has wrecked most of the havoc on this nation for about two generations now. He is the embodiment of a scam artist.

    all very nice ideological excuses, Jersey. but not a very good defense of his use of language or his position as he stated.

    Typical stammering, stupid liberal. Vulgar and incoherent, angry for no apparent reason.

    Personally I get sick of the whole the left is more racist than the right and vice versa. Racism has nothing to do with politics. It is a human thing. They exist on both sides of the aisle, they exist in all different income groups, and they exist in all different colors.

    Are their people who don't like Obama because he is black? Yes. Are their people who don't like Allen West simply because he dares to be conservative while black? Yes.

    If we keep making racism about politics, we only continue it by adding a layer that doesn't really exist.

      I agree, JACG, but with both sides constantly playing the race car against the other, it's getting kind of hard to get rid of that layer. Unfortunately.

      And therein lies the great challenge for our political structure(s) as well as our culture at large JACG and Will.

    Free speech.
    Lack of class, maybe.
    We are talking about Mr. Alan (count the commies) West. And the Republican party refuses to say publicly that Mr. West's Joe McCarthy like incendiary language, is unacceptable. At long last sir......... A certain lack of class.

    You guys are suckers. This is the same sport of specious, circular propaganda we see Kurt Cameron suckering people on the streets with on that silly show of his.

    Suckers.

      Just wondering jmj, are there not liberal "silly" show examples as well? Or is it that only the "other" side has silly shows?

      Same question for conservatives.

    Eh, the racism thing again? Usually it's just applied to Whites.

    When the rich pursue their political interests it’s called “lobbying.”

    When non-Whites pursue their political interests it’s called “civil rights.”

    When the White working and middle classes pursue their political interests it’s called “White Supremacy.”

( Reuters ) - Global leaders on Saturday arranged a round of emergency calls to discuss the twin debt crises in Europe and the United States that are causing turmoil in financial markets . After a week that saw $2.5 trillion wiped off global stock markets, they are under pressure to show political leadership and reassure markets that Western governments have both the will and ability to reduce their huge and growing public debt loads. French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who chairs the G7/G20 group of leading economies, conferred with Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron ahead of a call planned for this weekend by G7 finance ministers and central bankers. "They discussed the euro area and the U.S. debt downgrade. Both agreed the importance of working together, monitoring the situation closely

As the Liberal/Progressive Media and Blogosphere Attempt To Destroy Governor Chris Christie...

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation U S A Purveyor of Truth As the liberal/progressive media and bloggers attempt to trash Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey over the George Washington Bridge lane closings, ostensibly because he is a formidable threat to their darling would be 2016 democratic presidential nominee Hillary Rodham Clinton, there remains NO EVIDENCE he had any involvement or was aware of the actions by his underlings. If Governor Christie indeed had no involvement in the closings, and at this point is is prudent to assume he didn't, the valid question is... should he have known? If we believe an executive sets the tone and culture for his administration then indeed the actions of his loyal staff at least become somewhat understandable. Wrong, but understandable. From NorthJersey.com Nothing in the approximately 2,000 documents released on Friday by the Assembly committee investigating the matter suggest that Christie knew of the lane-closure scheme beforeh

Race Baiting at the Highest Level of the Federal Government...?

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Lib e rty -vs- Tyr a nny I listened to the full Presidential news conference this afternoon. Obama said some things that made sense. Then he made the following remarks that IMNHO told the nation in full agenda with respect to said issue. Having a in depth discussion of race relations might very well be appropriate and a general discussion is something that MOST American's would welcome. Using the Zimmerman verdict ks simply the WRONG event at possibly the right time. However, don't expect the President, the Department of Justice, or the liberal media or ultra liberal populace to understand what this means. If I can find a video of the full and complete news conference it will be posted later. Via: Memeorandum     Update : via You Tube.    Your views and thoughts are most welcome.

The ObamaCare Divide Creating Two America's...

(Wikimedia Commons/ Angr) This site is not a supporter of the mechanisms of ObamaCare and questions whether it in fact will ultimately make health care either more accessible r affordable. Except for those receiving a subsidy or are getting it free. All that aside I do agree with following Moyers & Company article stating that ObamaCare is widening the gap between red America and blue America. Something needed to be done with our health care and insurance system. Most agree that the pre ObamaCare system needed some work. Unfortunately reason failed American politics and what we have achieved is an ever more polorized country with no end to the polarization. Perhaps it is time to officially form a Blue United States of America and a Red United States of America. Because in reality we are moving ever closer to the breaking point. Th

It's Going To Be Close, Brace Yourself For Continued Polarization of America, Especially if Obama Loses...

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Liberty -vs- Tyranny The race is close, very close, with the momentum shifting to Romney. However, my take is the shift, as significant as it has been, came too late and too little. Progressives no doubt are biting their nails because as much as they prefer not to acknowledge it, this one is a real cliff hanger. Reminiscent of 2000. It is true if Obama loses this one progressives throughout the land will be wailing and gnashing their teeth. For them it will be a great undoing of their greatest hopes and dreams. Of course the other fifty percent of America will view it quite differently. So, as the polls close tomorrow, and the tabulating of the vote goes late into the night, we can be sure of a few thing... The nation will remain polarized, the puppet masters behind the curtains will continue calling the shots, the debt and deficits will continue, no mater who wins. And America will continue to ask why. Tomorrow, as I visit my polli

Obama the Socialist, or Is He? Listen to the Voice of One Who Knows...

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Liberty -vs- Tyranny at the 44th Karlovy Vary International Film Festival Every so often we have our views called into check. Whenever this happens the wise person considers the perspective, as well as the experiences of the person calling the entrenched views into check. In doing so one learns and therefor grows. At least that is how it should work. Milos Forman , the immigrant from Czechoslovakia who later won Academy Awards for best director for the films “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” and “Amadeus”, provides just such a check for America. He clearly, and accurately describes American politicians misunderstanding of totalitarianism and western European democratic socialism in his July 10th op-ed piece in the New York Times . He ends the article with a very poignant warning. Mr. Obama, and politicians of both major parties, as well as every American citizens ought to consider his words... and warning.

Humor in Truth...

Rational Nation U S A Purveyor of Truth Eleven days into 2016 and still recovering from the hustle and bustle of the preceding year end holidays I was looking for something to get me back to normal and give me a great belly splitting laugh. But that laugh needed to be a laugh caused by something that was funny because of the great truths it held. Today that great belly splitting laugh happened. June 28, 2015 Jeff Landry, an aide to Donald Trump, scratched the back of his right leg with his left shoe, stalling. You have to answer just right , or he goes apeshit . Jeff remembered grimly what a pleasant change he’d thought this job would be, but now he looked back on those six harrowing weeks working for Harvey Weinstein like a long-ago Hanukkah. The question Trump had put to him was “How do we close this?” Jeff played it safe: “I say go big.” Trump lit up. “I can do big,” he said. “This whole thing, which was my idea, incidentally, and a very good idea, really a very gr

More Thoughts On Reasonable Firearm Control...

Image
by: Les Carprnter Rational Nation USA Liberty -vs- Tyranny In the wake of the Sandy Hook tragedy in which 20 innocent children lost their live to a sick and mentally unstable individual the subject of gun control has remained center stage. This is understandable, and as it should be. The pursuit of finding improved methods to better identify unstable individuals and thereby keep firearms out of the hands of such individuals is a worthy pursuit. As we consider how to deal with increasing societal violence we must find a happy medium that will both improve public safety and preserve our second amendment rights. It can be done, if both sides of the gun control debate will start listening to each other rather talking A T each other. We have heard from the NRA's Wayne LaPierre, who has offered essentially the same solution as the organization did in 2007. Put armed police guards in every school in America. Not anything most suburban and rural Mom's and Dad's will b
