West: "I don't care who's yelling at me, cursing at me, or saying whatever. You're still an American."
This appears to be the new tactic by those on the left to "re-create" the town hall meetings from a year and a half ago in which citizens met with their representatives to voice displeasure at a health-care bill with which they disagreed.. The difference with these new town halls, up to this point, is this: those on the left don't want to ask questions. They hurl insults, yell down the speakers, and to try to ensure that there is no discussion. Contrast this with the town halls from two summers ago, where the participants asked pointed questions, and were certainly passionate, even angry at times. The booed at answers they disagreed with, and cheered for points with which they agreed. The difference was that they allowed their representative to actually dialogue with them.
Allen West is certainly a force to be reckoned with in American politics. He is grounded in his principles and his vision of what he sees for the country. Agree with him or not, he will communicate those principles and vision. I don't have a problem with those who disagree with Congressman West, or any other politician. The problem is that these protesters don't want anyone else to hear what Allen West has to say, and that speaks volumes. I tells me that Congressman West scares the hell out of them, because his message resonates with people.
The left will always let us know who they are most afraid of by the amount of hysteria and vitriol they exhibit. It turns into an Orwellian '2 minutes of hate'-like scene for those whom the left decides to focus on. It is the only explanation for the amount of attention to that has been focused on discrediting someone like Sarah Palin since 2008. On the one hand, the left tells everyone that she is unelectable and not a factor. But in their schizophrenia, they attack her as stupid, evil, dangerous, and responsible for everything from the shooting of Representative Gabriel Giffords, to global warming and rising sea levels. I'm surprised that some media pundit hasn't gone back to the infamous Palin map with crosshairs to point out that some of the states hit by the recent rash of tornadoes were targeted by Sarah Palin.
Now the left is focused on Allen West. Makes you wonder: what are they afraid of?
