Allen West Violates Federal Law During Weekend Diving Trip

Scotts Nyc

OK, now I may be coming a little late to the party, but I hope someone reads this: What really shows the congressman's lack of a patriotic attitude is his choice of Scuba gear. I see a Mares regulator (Italian) and Mares BCD. You may say he's wearing an O'Neil wetsuit but I'll bet if you look at the tag it's made in China. What's wrong with the people who's salary we pay spending money on brands that are made in USA while there are still a few left? Oh, and I happen to be a card carrying Democrat ...

Mathew,Our flag is flying freely, and beautifully with Allen West, and the picture with Sara, its is draped over the chair not touching the ground, so go look for some liberal disrespecting something like our Constitution....they are everywhere.

My unfortunate experience with West, I am also a vet, and an activist... i am one of only two, democrat supporters. i have heard over the past two years on LOU DOBBS /SCHNITT / and AMERICAN ADVISER ..but , my AM TALK "coming of ag"e was due to being a caller to Joyce Kaufman and i was the first Black liberal to debate West( "just before he was chosen to inoculate local Republicans from charges of Racism , in the course of their incessant attacks on President Obama. he(West), actually lost it on air and screamed( "i am sick and tired of you Kevin" )..but my experience with some of his local supporters is even more disturbing ...during his campaign his followers that were placing his campaign posters around town (Ed Larson is one name that was told to me ) ...WOULD STALK ME..and on four separate occassions i was granted a work contract (no WEST sign in the yard) ...THEN WHEN I RETURNED (now a WEST for CONGRESS SIN IS THERE )..THIS HAPPENED..... all over POMPANO and FT LAUDERDALE and there would be certain FT LAUDERDALE POLICE OFFICERS and BROWARD SHERIFFS "assist" in their harassment of me as punishment for SUPPORTING PRESDIENT OBAMA ..I HAVE BEEN ILLEGALLY EVICTED (on three occassions) FROM PLACES I HAD PAID RENT FOR 6 MONTHS AND MORE THEN IN EACH CASE MY PERSONAL BELONGINIGS (all my clothing , family heirlooms etc, were confiscated thrown away )....WOULD DISSAPPEAR...and the landloards were told CERTAIN OFFICERS WOULD 'COVER" THEM EEVN IN AN ILLEGAL EVICTION !.all in an obvious attempt to INTIMIDATE me as a VOCAL SUPPORTER OF PRESIDENT OBAMA ...I have LOST WORK (the most recent was a customer who greated me saying"when Obama sends me some money then you can get some more work )...this WORK impact has happened on several occassions (here is the rub unless Wests nutty supporters were stalking me how do i get into an Obama conversation to the point that i am told there is no more work here when in some cases i had worked there 4/5 years and i NEVER discussed politics ) THIS IS MOSTLY THE CORAL RIDGE AREA OF FT LAUDERDALE /POMPANO i am working in ....

I love it when liberals call the men and women who serve our country as "unpatriotic." Of course to liberals, anything less than Sharia Law is unpatriotic.

Impeach Alan West now.

Damn, Palin is HOT and West is awesome.

Come on you WeinerCrats - admit it!

Dave E

Bash the "Black Man" continually, Right!?! Then throw in the sexy picture of Sarah Palin with flag and BAM, this Blog is officially "Anti-Black aaand Anti-Women! It fits in perfectly with Debbie Wasserman-Shultz's campaign of exposig evil people and groups of being Anti-Women and now Anti-Black and needs to take a REAL close look at this Blog. And what about the flag on the moon when it passes 'beneath' the earth?

BillyShaft

This is rich...Progeressives concerned about anything having to do with an American flag, other than burning it or otherwise using it as a prop.

When any of you actually serve your country, then come back and opine.

Using it as a prop?

Who does that more than the Repukelicans, doing everything with a flag but deepthroating it.

Again, no reply button.

Don't have to think of it.

Whatdehell does the Revolutionary Times have to do with today????

Unless you are positing that Ayers and Obama are mounting a revolution? You may be right there............is that what you are saying?

You are excusing Ayers because of what???!!! If he and we were alive during the Revolutionary Times while we were breaking away from England, he would be considered a hero? WTH? Using the same logic, if we were alive during the Jurrasic times, we would most likely be small mammals running through the tropical forests of Pangaea ....................got absolutely nothing to do with...........TODAY.

Are you some kind of freshman in a beginning Philosophy class where everything is relative? Or, worse, a teacher of it? Believe me, been there, done that.

I find your logic totally "infantile" (to use your words), nonsensical, overreaching, senseless, foolish, and absurd .......and just flat twaddle, and totally worthless in these current non-revolutionary times.. Unless you know something your not willing to share and are just flat out admitting that you are seeking the overthrow of this present form of government?If so, FO.

We aren't in the Revolutionary Times. We have a functioning government (if we can wrest it from Obama's hands before he completely destroys it ) and Ayers is a criminal DURING TODAY'S TIMES.

I see you skipped Critical Thinking 101 in college if not college altogether. Glenn Beck is no substitute for academia.

eztalk

Appears that you failed MindReading 101.I've got plenty of critical thinking and enough to know you are full of crap to be comparing the Revolutionary Times to today in order to excuse Ayer's crimes.

This isn't a Philosophy class. It's real life, dealing with real issues, not some fanciful ideas of some idealistic professor, or you.

Ayers is a criminal in today's society. I could care less how he "might" have been viewed, "possibly" been viewed 250 years ago because those conditions don't exist today.

The fact that I "might" have been a Tory back then, doesn't mean that I agree now with what England's views were then, looking through the lenses of today. Doesn't compute.And, because Ayers "may" have been seen as a hero to "SOME" back then (not all), doesn't mean that he is one today. Your argument comes close to being in the realm of Argumentum ad Verecundiam.

So, go take your affected air of superiority and "possibilites" and "might have beens" and peddle them to someone else less educated and with a little less worldly experiences. Thank you for insulting both Beck and me with the same sentence. Argumentum ad Hominem and a variation of it...... Poisoning The Wells

In fact, I take back my guess at your being a professor. The superior air belies that you don't have any higher education at all, or you wouldn't be using the time-worn criticism about Beck.........it's a little stale and a little too common for a professor to make.My guess is high school is the highest you've obtained, which puts you about 8 years behind me.

And, since you can't win by using facts, you try to stupify with bullshyte.

Rep. West responded, “Well I think it’s most important that I stand upon the principles that people elected me to go to Washington, D.C., and represent them on Capitol Hill.”

He added, “So that when you run into someone that is counter, or someone that really does represent the antithesis of the principles upon which this country was established, you’ve got to be able to defeat them intellectually in debate and discourse, and you to just have to be able to challenge each and every one of their assertions very wisely and very forthright.”

and clearly, a progressive blog that has video of west lying, well, it must just be CGI, lol....

i'm glad what one would call "bigotry" you call "opinion." that must make you feel much better about hating women and muslims. now if only they were YOUR opinion and not double-down lies you're parroting from the tea party echo chamber...

goodbye troll.

I didn't think you'd read it. ..........whatever makes YOU feel better. West didn't lie on any video. He said exactly what you said which I refuted. Me and the "black" women on the video. Admit it.......... You got your a$$ handed to you on a plate.

My LLOOONGG response was in reply to the long litany of yours.

I put my reply in caps to make it stand out from yours. More readable. Since I couldn't "reply" as is normal.

You proved to be exactly the kind of idiot I thought you'd be. Closed mind, snapped shut.. Didn't I predict it? :)

I'm not writing for you.

I'm writing for those that can see that your "lies" about West aren't true and I gave facts to prove it, unlike yours which just quoted mainly........... just mainly progressive sites. Obviously, you had to look long and hard to find even those tidbits about his "opinions". Not very varied and definitely with an agenda........But, I'm the one that is "parroting" and "hating". LOL! At least you quit calling West's opinions "lies". You're a child nanook. A child. And, an ignorant one as well.

And, now you are running away. I thought you were " ready and waiting to make a fool out of anyone who wants to pretend like west doesn't LIKE through his teeth on a regular basis". All it took was ONE reply to your post and you run.

Typical.

I would walk through hell with a gasoline can for this man. A true leader in a nation of socialist and communists that want to 'fundamentally transform' America. Obama just forgot to mention that his idea of transformation is the same vision as Karl Marx's. His buddy, Bill Ayers standing on the flag is exactly opposite of what Mr.West's action portrays in this photo.

It appears that a blog on West and his flag brings out the right wing en masse. They must have gotten their writing orders from Glen Beck or Sean. Too bad that they all seem to have lost their sense of humor years ago. This is the same bunch that dropped acid, protested against the Viet Nam war, wore bell bottoms with flag patches, and smoked everything in sight during the 1960s and 70s. Stop with the name calling, communist, socialist, racist, et al. Nothing is gained by hateful speech. You people need to lighten up.

His flag display is entirely consistent with Mr. West wearing military badges on his civilian suit . . . blatant pandering to the patriotic among us. However, lest anyone forget, "Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel."-- Samuel Johnson (Boswell's Life of Johnson)

According to historians, Mr. Johnson was not speaking of all patriotism, only "false patriotism." While I do not accuse Mr. West of that, I do accuse him of pandering. We're better than that, Mr. West. Appeal, instead, to our intellect if you can.

It is also pathetic in its inattention to the facts............ apparently you don't read any posts beyond your own:

You people need to get a life. As someone else stated, submarines fly American flags all the time and I'm sure some water splashs on it while steaming. That's why nylon flags are made. Clearly the meaning of the law is not that the flag should not EVER touch water (as the flag code also specifies that a flag can be flown in inclement weather as long as it is constructed of all weather material), but that it should not hang down to touch whatever is below it. And, here is something interesting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...

Matthew obviously isn’t a diver, nor does he understand the several ‘atmospheres’ we deal with. (land, Air and Sea) In the normal air breathing atmosphere the Flag shall not touch the ground, water, or anything ‘beneath’ the air… underwater, which is an atmosphere unto itself, the flag is flying and shall not touch the submarine (ship), bottom, or any other object that touches the floor of the lake, sea, or ocean. Rep West broke no law, nor did he disgrace the flag by having it underwater (flying it underwater) … he was flying it properly in another medium (in this case water) and it was not touching the ground, air, or other object attached to the floor of that atmosphere.

Has this blogger ever commented on this picture at the bottom? I've seen it plenty of times and think I've even heard some leftist's say it's "freedom of speech". http://americanglob.com/2011/0...

"Memorial" flags on sunken ships are perfectly acceptable underwater per military code and old navy tradition. It is seen as the flag always on staff, even on the ship as it sunk. For example, on the USS Speigle Grove.http://www.freerepublic.com/fo...http://divehappy.com/thailand/...
