About to board a flight out of BWI heading to Phoenix to join my family. This is our first family vacation in nearly 6 years and we are attending the Fiesta Bowl football game.

Angela and I both have degrees from Kansas State – of course she has two (BS and PhD) to my one Masters – she is such an overachiever!

We are excited about seeing the Wildcat Nation take on the Oregon Ducks. All the best to Coach Snyder and the K-State Wildcats. When Angela and I were only recently married Coach Snyder first showed up in Manhattan, the Little Apple, and we remember the phenomenal job he did in transforming the football program and the University.

We will be enthusiastically cheering you all on……EMAW (Every Man a Wildcat)

Congratulations to my colleague, Tim Scott, on his appointment to the Senate. It’s been about 4 decades since there’s been a black GOP member of that chamber – and seems like about that long since it has passed a budget…

Liberals like Jason Whitlock want you to believe that the NRA killed Kansas City Chiefs player Jovan Belcher and his girlfriend. Zo tells you why the NRA is not the KKK, and reminds you who is really to blame for this murder-suicide, in addition to other tragedies in black communities.

Tattered and Torn, Will You Rise Up?

As I sit here thinking about all the terrible things going on in our country and worried about what is to come, I try to grasp for understanding and pray for piece of mind. Since November 6th many of you have sworn off the news, the postings, the fight for our republic and more. You are either sad, scared, beaten down, discouraged and maybe even more, or all of this combined. I understand the mental wear and tear it has taken on many of us and some days I have no words to describe how I feel but today is not that day.

Our country is still a good country, Our God although pushed back into the distance will still be the winner (here’s a little hint, I’ve read the Book, I know how it ends). Through six hours of what was eternal Hell, through brutality and unspeakable cruelty He has paid for the transgressions of this nation. We sit and we think, Oh, Lord, what have we allowed to happen? How can this be? Can it get any worse? What are we witnessing, how can we relate it to scripture and figure out if this truly is the end of times according to His word?

You see, we have this life, this one given opportunity to stand up for what is right. When the going get’s tough our human nature doesn’t want to get going, but our spiritual good side knows that if we don’t stand up and take action that every drop of blood that was shed at Calvary and the Wars that have been fought to give us our freedom’s and liberties are being tossed aside and taken in vain.Did the great foraging of this nation seem like it was an easy task? Reading through my history books I do not remember it being a delicate undertaking. Did they want to give up??? Well heck, they had every reason too, but they didn’t. So what we are witnessing today is discouraging, the takers are outnumbering the doers, Santa Claus reigns and God and the solid foundations of this country are taking back seat. How long do you truly think HE will allow this continue? Well, like a thief in the night, no man knows what time the Son will return.

So, do we give up or continue the fight?

Here is my heart, I will not, while there is breath in me quit this fight. I will not be silent. I will not only profess these actions but I will live by them and find the niche that I am best suited to fight for and focus on it. Spreading yourselves all around the issues trying to keep up with it all is where the frustration is building. The elections and the fraud have discouraged a massive amount of people. I could go on for days with the amount of communications that I have with friends who have heavy hearts but the bottom line is this. Find your niche, get into that groove, zoom in on something that is nearest and dearest to your heart….. now I know a lot of you will say EVERYTHING concerns me, well, it does me too but we must retreat, refocus, regroup and reach a common goal of getting this Republic back on its feet. By the time this President is done with our nation in 4 more years it is going to need every one of us on the ready to pick up the tattered and torn pieces and reconstruct what has been torn apart.

We CAN do this, we WILL do this and if you can find it in your heart to remember how it all started and how it all will end then you know that we must work together for the common good. Stand Up my patriot friends, do not be discouraged any longer. We can, one piece at a time put this back together but we must take the right path. There is no use saying you choose to lie down, when it feels impossible to stand up. In spite of our outward circumstances and the downward spiral of moral, economic, political, and social conditions we are witnessing today we must stand up and be heard.

God bless you my friends, stay in the fight.

Rep. Allen West “Prayers for those hit by the storm, and a few other thoughts this week”

Posted by allenwestrepublic on

by Congressman Allen West on Friday, August 31, 2012 at 3:40pm (taken from Congressman Allen West’s Facebook Page)

To our Constituents, fellow Floridians, and all Americans, greetings,

There will be no weekly update for this week as the predominant topic would be the RNC Convention and according to ethics rules it cannot be discussed using official Congressional channels.

However, let me take a moment to express a few thoughts. First of all my wife Angela, daughters Aubrey and Austen, and myself  want to convey our most sincere thoughts, prayers, and condolences for those here locally, in Florida, and across the Gulf States region who have suffered and lost friends, loved ones, and their homes as a result of Tropical Storm/Hurricane Isaac. May God be with you at this time and wrap His loving arms around each of you.

And as we prepare to enjoy another Labor Day, even with gas prices skyrocketing to an average of $3.79, please remember our men and women in uniform who labor everyday to be our Guardians of America’s honor, and our liberty, freedom, and democracy. Keep them in your prayers this weekend as you enjoy your last days of summer.

In closing, to the 23 million Americans who are unemployed, like Lynn, who I met Friday morning coming back from Tampa at the Racetrack gas station in Okeechobee, the underemployed, and the discouraged Americans who seem to have just given up…gird yourselves to find courage and strength on this coming Labor Day weekend knowing the Cavalry is mounting up and coming to your rescue.

The greatness and exceptional nature of America and Americans shall always triumph over the misconceived empty promises and failed policies of one individual and his blind disciples.

Steadfast and Loyal,

Allen

Rep. Allen West has a little fun with the Press Corp

Posted by allenwestrepublic on

Rep. Allen West said Thursday he won’t be speaking at the Republican National Convention — but that he’ll be slinging hot dogs in Tampa instead.

“I want everyone to know if you come to the Republican Convention I’ll be selling hot dogs,” West told reporters on Capitol Hill, according to a tweet from freelance reporter Matt Laslo.

Of course, the Republican congressman was joking, as West’s communications director confirmed.

“Congressman West will not be selling hotdogs outside of the Convention hall, even though we all like the idea of opening The Colonel’s Hotdogs since we’re pretty confident we could do it on our own,” Angela Melvin wrote in an e-mail. “They would be beef hot dogs and condiments would be free.”

Melvin also used West’s hot dog joke to jab at President Barack Obama for his “you didn’t build that” gaffe

Rep Allen West – “There are people on the other side that are actually tracking every little thing I say”

The Congressman related a story to his audience about the time one of his staff members introduced him to a Think Progress article titled “Rep. Allen West’s 15 Most Outrageous Statements.”

“So, I go around and there’s a website she has up,” Rep. West explains, “And it was hilarious!”

Why is it “hilarious”? Rep. West explains:

There are people out there on the other side that are actually tracking every little single thing I say. And they had the top ten things that Allen West is saying. And you know? It really started to look like a bunch of whiners: “He said nuts!“ ”He said he doesn’t want a liberal message in America!“ ”He said…”

You know?

What I can’t understand for the life of me is how people on the other side can certainly dish it out, but when you stand up on principle, when you tell them what you believe in, they can’t take it! They act offended and they act hurt.

Rep. West’s remarks were met with cheers and applause.

The current lull in the Republican race is giving others a chance to sport their social media prowess, including the members on Capitol Hill. Analytics fromOhMyGov reveals the Top 10 Social Media Users in Congress from the past week.

The top social media scorers had to demonstrate a proficiency and mastery of both Facebook and Twitter by growing their following at the highest rate over the past week.  They were also scored on the number of Retweets their followers shared from their Twitter feeds.  Finally the amount of Twitter mentions each Congressional leader earned rounded out the scoring.  Each social media component was added together and averaged out to reveal the individual’s social media score for the week.

The gap between Congressional Republicans and Democrats in social media is clear in the Top 10 for the House of Representatives, with 7 of the 10 members clocking in as Republican.  In the Senate, the split is more even: 5 Republicans, 4 Democrats and an Independent.

Regardless of party lines, these 20 Congressional leaders led the pack for Feb 7-14, becoming this week’s most successful social media users on Capitol Hill by earning high scores in four key touch points for social media analysis.

Heaven and Hell and the Corrupt Senator

Posted by allenwestrepublic on
HEAVEN AND HELL

While walking down the street one day a Corrupt Senator was tragically hit by a car and died.

 His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance.

 ”Welcome to heaven,” says St. Peter. “Before you settle in, it seems there is a problem. We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see, so we’re not sure what to do with you.”

 ”No problem, just let me in,” says the Senator.

 ”Well, I’d like to, but I have orders from the higher ups. What we’ll do is have you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you can choose where to spend eternity.”

 ”Really?, I’ve made up my mind. I want to be in heaven,” says the Senator.

 ”I’m sorry, but we have our rules.”

 And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell.

 The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a green golf course. In the distance is a clubhouse and standing in front of it are all his friends and other politicians who had worked with him.

 Everyone is very happy and in evening dress. They run to greet him, shake his hand, and reminisce about the good times they had while getting rich at the expense of the people. They played a friendly game of golf and then dine on lobster, caviar and the finest champagne.

 Also present is the devil, who really is a very friendly guy who is having a good time dancing and telling jokes.

 They are all having such a good time that before the Senator realizes it, it is time to go.

 Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves while the elevator rises.

 The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens in heaven where St. Peter is waiting for him, “Now it’s time to visit heaven…???

 So, 24 hours passed with the Senator joining a group of contented souls moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They have a good time and, before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by and St. Peter returns.

 ”Well, then, you’ve spent a day in hell and another in heaven. Now choose your eternity.”

 The Senator reflects for a minute, then he answers: “Well, I would never have said it before, I mean heaven has been delightful, but I think I would be better off in hell.”

 So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell…

 Now the doors of the elevator open and he’s in the middle of a barren land covered with waste and garbage. He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up the trash and putting it in black bags as more trash falls from above

 The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his shoulders.

 ”I don’t understand,” stammers the Senator. “Yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and clubhouse, and we ate lobster and caviar, drank champagne, and danced and had a great time. Now there’s just a wasteland full of garbage and my friends look miserable. What happened?”

 The devil smiles at him and says,

 “Yesterday we were campaigning, Today, you voted..”

 Vote wisely in November
