Congressional Candidate Lt. Col. Allen West - going to have to keep an eye out for this guy.
How about you!!??

Great find, a light bird Col. running for Congress on the Founding Fathers beliefs (at least from this speech). That is probably as close as we'll get to a speech that parallels the mid 1700's, with the possible exceptions of entitlements, tho I suspect the British Aristocracy of 1770 would fit today's use of entitlement mentality. :bow: :bow:
The reference to the Oath of Office, or The Oath in general never sun-setting is inspired! The references to past politicians ignoring it after taking office is a sad comment on current reality. :wall: :wb: :sos:
This would be an excellent recorded media to use for a bit of 'flavor' for the historical presentations, except for the beginning, where the image of Open Revolution & Fixed Bayonets in 2010 is used; this is stated only in deference to the ADL debate, and it being used out of historic context.
Probably would be a great change, almost any breathing (or even non breathing person, or even any inanimate object) candidate would be a serioous considewration for a chanage. ;)
However, we need to remember that we are a non profit, barred from advocating any political candidates, and, we are a Mission Oriented Organization (MOO ;)) and politics is not on our list of missions to accomplish.
But here is my suggestion for any non mission related information. Metalbot is the Texas IIT and member information contact and if you will send him your email address he can add it to the list of Texas instructors and family and we can send out political information and any other non mission related info to each other by emails which include all of our Texas members and anyone else who wants to get involved in non missin relatedd topics.
I personally am interested in receiving information regarding new candidates for our state and nation and also any info on tea party meetings, new gear etc. but I ask that we keep it off the forum so we reduce the already insufferable amount of clutter here.
My email is listed on my profile, rangescout@hughes.net so feel free to send me any of this info Viking. ;)
