    Allen West to national Dems: ‘Get the hell out of the United States of America’

    By Christopher Bedford - The Daily Caller | The Daily Caller – Mon, Jan 30, 2012

    Rep. Allen West did not mince words on Sunday, telling national Democrats to get out of Florida and, for that matter, out of the country.

    In a speech at the Lincoln Day Dinner where Herman Cain endorsed former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, the Palm Beach Post reports that West drew the greatest applause with his fiery speech.

    “We need to let President Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and my dear friend the chairman of the Democratic National Committee [Debbie Wasserman Schultz], let them know Florida ain’t on the table.”

    Schultz has spent the last number of weeks stalking the Republican primaries, seeking media appearances in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and, now, Florida, with efforts to garner media attention and knock GOP candidates off balance.

    “Take your message of economic dependency, take your message of enslaving the entrepreneurial will and spirit of the American people somewhere else,” West continued. “You can take it to Europe, you can take it to the bottom of the sea, you can take it to the North Pole, but get the hell out of the United States of America.”

    “This is not about 1 percent or 99 percent — this is about 100 percent. This is about 100 percent of America, and I will not stand back and watch anyone defame, degrade or destroy that which my father fought for, my older brother, my father-in-law, my nephew and all my friends in uniform,” West concluded. “I will not allow President Obama to take the United States of America and destroy it.”

    “If that means I’m the number one target for the Democratic party, all I have to say is one thing: Bring it on.”

    West is indeed a high-value target for Democrats. The Republican freshman and tea party favorite’s district has been redrawn since he won election, and the new district is more favorable to Democrats.

      This kind of hate speech does nothing to resolve the Nations problems. It does distract the debate from real issues, and makes them harder to solve. It is irresponsible of any citizen to make such a statement and unforgivable coming from an elected official.

      What an idiot. Immigrants flooded the U.S. to get away from conservatism, forced religion, and dictators so that people could be "free." If we don't have the same opinions as he does, we're supposed to get out?

      Allen West wants those who disagree with him to leave the country. Well, at least he's an honest fascist. Personally, I'm glad that this is a Democracy. We can disagree all we want, and he can kiss my a^^.

      Well you didn't think the African Tribal Chiefs sold their best and brights people to the Arab and Jew slave traders, who in turn sold them to a ship's captain. who in turn brought them to the Americas, did you??????? Now do you understand how we are stuck with a ignoramus like Allen West?

      This guy is a perfect example of what is wrong with us as a nation. We have so vilified each other that we seem to have forgotten that we are on the same side. Even the most radical liberals and conservatives have more in common with each other than with radical islamists. We need to dispense with all the vitriol and start trying to work together. That being said, Ms Podnar is right, this guy is an idiot.
