There's nothing on this green earth that a liberal progressive fears more than a black American who wants a better life and a smaller government.
Allen West
A person like myself, born and raised in the inner city of Atlanta, Georgia, to lower-middle-class parents. But I had the opportunity to get an education, to go and earn a commission in the United States Army, to serve for 22 years, to lead men and women in combat.

Leadership is about being a servant first.

Of course we have compassion. We just don't believe the safety net should be used as a hammock.
Allen West
This liberal progressive agenda... is the antithesis of who we are as a constitutional republic.

But when I look at the fact that today is 1,000 days that we have not had a budget for the United States of America, you know, the House, one of the things we did, we passed a budget last year. But that is still sitting over there at the Senate. And so we have got to get this country back on track.

Are we witnessing an Obama 'Wag the Dog' moment with Boko Haram in Nigeria? I say yes.
Allen West
Liberals worry that what's best for the individual might not be better for the public at large. But that philosophy assumes something vicious about each and every one of us. It assumes we only care about ourselves.
Allen West
I'll give you a great example of an issue that no one brought up during this Florida primary, the fact that we're going to have a Chinese made oil rig put in place about 60 miles off the coast of Florida.

You had 42 blacks that ran on the Republican ticket this Cycle, 14 made of them made it to the general election and two of us made it to the House of Representatives. So I think that there is a new movement that needs to have a voice in the Congressional Black Caucus.
Allen West
When did 'Ask not what your country can do for you' become 'Ask only what your country will give you'?
Allen West
There is a simple maxim that I use to express this situation, 'when tolerance becomes a one way street, it leads to cultural suicide.'
Allen West
Conservatives understand that the power that binds our republic together is fierce independence held high on the shoulders of compassion.
Allen West
Every year, thousands of Californians flee that populous paradise for tax-eased small government oasis of America's red states.
Allen West
I'm a conservative because I believe we're here on this earth to do a little more than crawl through life, comfortable in the cradle of government excess and oblivious to the duties required to keep this republic standing.
Allen West
I spent 22 years in the United States military, so I'm a pretty strategic level thinker.
Allen West
I'm tired of liberals dividing this country up into little groups, setting them upon each other, breeding spite and envy, and then having the nerve to accuse conservatives of hatred.
