Beginning at 9:45 a.m. on Thursday morning, former congressman Allen West of Florida was the alarm clock for the enthusiastic Conservative Political Action Conference-2013 attendees.
“There is no shortage of people telling us what conservatism cannot accomplish, what we can’t do, how we cannot connect, how we must change our values to fit the times,” he began. “Well ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you that is truly a bunch of malarky.”
“The last time I checked, a bended knee is not, nor shall it ever be, a conservative tradition.”
He then steered the address to his own personal experience as a black conservative.
“I’m speaking from experience when I tell you that there is nothing on this green earth that a liberal progressive fears more than a black American who wants a better life and a smaller government,” West said.
West’s speech was peppered with one-liners that stirred the crowd, such as the following call for a strong national defense.
“I’m a conservative because I understand that real peace comes from the Marine Corps, not the Peace Corps,” said the former military officer.
West called for a new generation of Americans to carry the torch for conservatism.
“If there is one constant in our short history, it is that this great republic rises and falls on the backs of generations and giants,” he said. “When they are weak we falter; when they are sturdy we triumph.”

*speech Learn to Spell. Why are West supporters always so ignorant? Oh yeah, because if they were educated they wouldn’t support him.
Juvenile behavior is unbecoming to civilization.
you’re a fucking idiot!
Why are liberals so retarded? Because they believe every lie that obama says….
War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength. 1984– we are here.
I’m so very proud of Mr.Allen West. He is truly an american at heart and soul. Being an ex-marine viet nam,and attending combat vet meetings, from nam era, i fully understand and totally agree with Mr.West. Growing up in S.Texas,i remember all the good values that made America beautiful, great,reverent,and God fearing. What is happening right now, today, is really scary. It’s just one step closer to being a police state and country. Don’t ever forget history repeats self! Don’t ever forget what Stalin, Hitler,Mao, and others did before people lost everything, even their lives. What made this country great, is fading fast. Our president, along with his staff, wants a socialist state and country. He and others are messing with the constitution that specially stated what our gov. could and could not do. Now, mr.president and others are destorying our beautiful country so many vet have died for and suffered for. GOD BLESS AMERICA AND MR.WEST!
He needs to accept and compliment the Tea Party conservatives, as well. Rand Paul, Ted Cruz and men like them are acting what they are saying. Just sayin’….
Borders frequented by trade seldom need soldiers.
Spoken like a true Zionist.
Join the US army, and fight for Israel!
Spoken like a true neocon piece of crap
I’d vote for him.
I’ve read some very juvenile and useless comments here, but very few seem to care about this country and it’s founding fathers values and strengths. Mr. West is a breath of fresh air in this political climate, and there’s a lot of people feeling the same way. As for post jumpers, get a life or at least display some similitude of intelligence.
support military killing and nation rebuilding….or you’re not an American!!!
Care to explain where in the Constitution authorizes an overreaching and bloodthirsty global military.
In b4 MUH IRAN bla bla bla
