I salute Lt. Col. Allen West because he is the first to recognize this liberal revolution which has been gathering and organizing since the fall of the Soviet Union. Our ‘elected’ politicans of the left stand to impose the agenda of the radical few over those of the American people. When all polls show dismal support of this health care “reform”, yet the drive it through with ZERO input from the opposing party, we have a SINGLE party system. Make no mistake, these policies (HC, cap-n-trade, card check, immigration, domestically located terror trials..etc.) along with a Afghanistan “surge” speech without using the word “victory” a SINGLE TIME) ALL AMERICANS need to decide which side they are on!

Lt. Col, sir, I did not serve in our country’s military, but that does not mean I cannot be a patriot. If you ask, I will stand and sacrifice with you in your cause! GOD BLESS AMERICA.

Col. West,
As a veteran during the Vietnam era, I understand what you so eloquently said in a video I watched on YouTube. My only question is…. Sir, do you really believe in what you said, or is this about politics? I also saw in several other postings on the web some connection between yourself and Mrs. Obama. Are you tying yourself to the power of politics or do you REALLY believe the rhetoric you were espousing? Are you an Anmerican who truley believes what most career military (enlisted and officers) believe, or are you pounding sunshine up our asses to get yourself elected? It sounds good, but where do you really stand? Understand Col. West, I do not care if you are Black, White, Red, Purple or candy striped… you are a true American with the ideals of small town America or you are a POLITICIAN who looks at this thing as a means to your financial success. Either you wear the uniform or you do not. I am nothing more than an American who chose a military career because of a sense of DUTY to this country. Or are you a POLITICIAN who chose a military career as a means to an end…..Answer this email if you dare. I am sick of it all. Are you a POLITICIAN or are you an AMERICAN??? DO you have the balls to answer this???

So, Pat, evidently you’ve been unable to buy any weapons.

As many as 300,000 veterans from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq are afflicted with post traumatic stress disorder and other mental disabilities. The suicide rate for soldiers is now five times higher than in the Persian Gulf War and 11% greater than during Vietnam. Crimes of violence are skyrocketing on military bases, making the surrounding communities some of the most dangerous cities in the country.

Thank God, Senators Burr and Webb have identified the source of the problem: “mentally incapacitated” veterans are angry and frustrated because the Gun Control Act of 1968 bars them from owning firearms.

Yes, that’s right, the federal government uses mental competency as a litmus test for whether a person should own a gun or not.

Unbelievable, but that’s socialism for you.

Fortunately, Burr, Webb and 18 other senators are sponsoring legislation to right this wrong. The Veterans Second Amendment Protection Act will allow mentally incapacitated vets to buy guns unless a judge diagnoses them to be psychologically unfit to own firearms.

It’s nice to see that the Senate isn’t spending all it’s time on crazy things like a public health care option.
