Lt. Col. Allen West’s Chilling, but Refreshingly Honest Response to Question about Radical Islam & Jihadists… Plus, Obama Helps Terrorists, Rips $42M from NYC’s Anti-Terror Fund (video)
Posted By Vicki McClure Davidson on May 13, 2010
H/t to Clifton B at Another Black Conservative for this video and I echo his sentiments about Lt. Col. Allen West… I would vote for this articulate, no-nonsense man in an Arizona minute. Fearless to speak the truth about radical Muslims, from a historical perspective and a contemporary perspective, in a leftist political atmosphere famous for its inelegant terrorist coddling… Lt. Col. West is a rarity. A man with a spine.

This video is from February (h/t The Right Scoop). In it a guy (off camera) from Red State asks a panel about the motivations of radical Islam. Two gentlemen give vague answers and then Lt. Col. West cuts to the chase.
I am hard pressed to think of anyone in politics today who would have to courage to say anything like that. I am pretty amazed that Lt. Col. West hasn’t made it big in politics yet. I hope, after getting elected to the House, he immediately finds a governorship somewhere and then make a run for the White House. I would vote for him in a second.

On another jaw-droppingly horrible note, Pres. Obama will be decimating New York City’s security/anti-terrorism budget. By $42 million.
Yeah, ‘cuz all the Islamic terrorists who want to blow up innocent New Yorkers into zillions of tiny little bloody pieces of bone and guts have decided to leave the Big Apple and New Yorkers now have nothing to fear from soulless Islamic radicals who want them all dead… right?

Another day… Another move to make America less secure.
Last week it was reported that the Obama White House removed confessed terrorist Faisal Shahzad from the Department of Homeland Security travel lookout list sometime after Barack Obama came into office.
Terrorist Faisal Shahzad had substantial connections to the Taliban, reached out to the Taliban, was influenced by Yemeni terror leader Anwar al Awlaki, made at least a dozen return trips to Pakistan since arriving in the United States in 1999, and he bought a one way ticket with cash to Pakistan.

Now this…
Barack Obama will cut $42 million in funding to New York City just days after the attempted bombing in Times Square.
CBS2 reported:
President Obama was expected in Manhattan Thursday to thank the cops who handled the recent Times Square terror. His visit comes the very day the government was set to announce that millions of federal dollars were being slashed from the City’s counter-terrorism budget, just a dozen days after the attempted car bombing, despite the Big Apple being considered many to be the number one target of Islamic terrorists.
“It’s an absolute direct slap in the face of the people of New York,” said Rep. Peter King.
The city takes a $42 million hit for mass transit security, down 27-percent from last year. Measures like extra patrols on trains and chemical and biological weapons detection systems may have to wait, according to officials, and port security get a big cut as well. On the chopping block are $11.2 million dollars, down 25-percent from last year.
Every day, it’s something inexplicable, galling, horrific, or disturbing with this administration. On the slashing of New York City’s anti-terrorism budget, I’d classify this news as all four.
Add in disgraceful and dangerous.
Love ya, New York!
