Recently, Allen West spoke at a Center for Security Policy event in New York City, where he spoke on the national security threats America faces. This is long, and includes the question and answer period, but worth listening to in full. Your eyes and ears are hungry for this.
There’s not a more knowledgeable person in Congress on the subject of national security, especially vis a vis threats from the Middle East, than Congressman West. And I’m sure I don’t have to tell you — Allen West is a blunt man…he doesn’t cushion his words with PC garbage.
West: You can not have negotiations with a group of individuals that are the antithesis of everything you believe in.”
More great lines from West:
“You can turn around an economy…You can make the American people as prosperous as they want to be, but if stuff starts going boom, again, it makes not a hill of beans.”
“There are a group of people out there who are stuck on stupid, and you’re not going to get through to them…there’s a 60-65% who get it, and the other 30-35% we just have to save from themselves.”
I second that call from the member of the audience who asked, “Allen West for President?”
