RE: Allen West, Black Conservatives, Conservative Blacks, and what a diet of “Rainbow Stew” will do to you. Some comments on your column on why Congressman West should move to Mars.

Mr. Lyons,

“Allen West is moving north”
Today
You

Does that mean he is moving to Maryland like former Congressman Robert Wexler, AKA “Toad”? If memory serves Wexler’s Florida address was a Chinese takeaway in Delray. Is it racist to ask a White man for a photo ID? That way his domicile would have been made clear.

As you say, Congressman West has made a career in “berating liberals”. He does this for the self-evident fact that it is so very, very easy to do so. I have been told by confidential sources that must remain anonymous that berating liberals is good for the environment. Whatever I can do to save even one drowning polar bear I’ll do.

#1 – You may recall the caterwauling about the Bush administration borrowing money to finance its deficit. Modern American Liberals sounded like Jacob Marley and Ebenezer Scrooge had gotten back together again. Lord Barack the Beneficent will have borrowed more money in 4 years than Bush borrowed in 8. If there is a difference between Republicans borrowing and Democrats borrowing I have failed to find it. Perhaps you could tell me.

#2 – One of the more perpetual mantras of modern American Liberals is FREEDOM. Speech, thought, art, expression – Woe betide any Conservative who dares to limit any of the above! That brings us face to face with the political cognitive dissonance that modern American Liberalism demands of its votaries.

It is OK to burn an American Flag. It is OK to have American taxpayers subsidize a play – Corpus Cristi – that says the reason Christ was crucified was because of a lovers’ quarrel with Judas. It is OK to have an exhibit of photographs showing one man urinating into the mouth of another man. It is OK to show one man inserting a whip handle into the anus of another man. Robert Mapplethorpe was the photographer. It’s OK to show a cross suspended in a clear cylinder filled with urine. The artist on that one was Andres Serrano.

Would it be fair to say that anyone who objected to any of the above would fit the description of “bitter clingers”?

The contradiction comes when someone suggests that maybe Allah ain’t so Akbar. Maybe he started the first traveling troupe of the world famous Moslem “Dancing Boys”. Maybe he was a bit too friendly with the outcast goat, the one with the limp and the so sad eyes.

Heaven forefend if anyone mentions this. The heavens would tumble if anyone should draw a cartoon of this. Thousands of turd eating WOGs in Kafiristan would rise up and burn down the only house in the province with indoor plumbing to show how much they hate the Zionist loving infidels.

[As an aside, perhaps you could tell me why everything inanimate in a Muslim country is described either as “holy” or “sacred”? The “sacred” Koran in the “holy” city of Bugfug must be protected at all costs lest infidels steal it and wipe their asses with the torn pages. How about the “holy” city of Wilton Manors? How about the “sacred” Elbo Room?]

It is a level of contradictory madness not seen since Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz sent 2 Florida Department of Law Enforcement Agents to my house to question me about something I wrote.

Would “slippery slope” or the more ominous “chilling effect” be appropriate?

Agent Thomas [the good cop] and Agent Mineva [the bad cop] came to my house to suggest that free speech isn’t exactly free. Of course it depends on whose Gore is being oxed but modern American Liberals are constantly astonished and outraged when someone reminds them that “Free men speak with free tongues”. The “bad cop” actually told me to stop writing to public officials. This man had a badge, a gun and, more importantly, the majestic force of the law behind him. You would have thought I was protesting in front of an abortion clinic.

But I digress.

Here’s a thought.

Allen West versus Alcee Hastings.

In a district rigged so that either Nat Turner or Aunt Jemima would have been elected it would be a true test of voter sentiment. The voters of that district are to be commended. By sending a felon to Congress they cut back on the learning curve.

You say that “finger waggin’” at a black President is as racist as a white sheeted Robert Byrd [D-WV] burning a cross on the White House lawn.

Would he not have been better off if a teacher had “wagged” his finger at him and said “It’s 50 states. Not 57 and not 58. Remember that.” Also, some kind soul should have told him that Austrian is an adjective like in Austrian Alps. It is not a language spoken in Vienna. Wagner wrote all his librettos in German, not Austrian.

You say, “Blacks can be conservative.”

Would it be fair to say that almost all modern American Liberals favor abortion? Nat Hentoff would be a notable exception. Would it be fair to say that almost all Conservatives are opposed to abortion? Perhaps you could help me understand a most disturbing fact.

Since Roe v Wade almost 50,000,000 babies have been aborted. Black women make up about 6% of the population. Between 35% and 40% of the abortions performed in this country have been on Black women. As many as 20,000,000 wanabee Douglas Lyons or Allen Wests have been denied their chance to excel, indeed even their chance to live. Is this racist per se? Is it Affirmative Action on steroids? I suppose there is some consolation in knowing that as many as 20,000,000 people will not have to endure the humiliation of having someone wag a finger in their faces. I have seen a picture of Brian Williams wagging his finger in George W. Bush’s face. If a White finger being waved in a Black President’s face is bad is a White finger being waved in a White President’s face neutral? If a Black finger – say the imposing digit of Al Sharpton – were to be wagged in a White President’s face would that be good?

As usual, our little dialogue ends with no resolution.

Your last paragraph suggests that someone should have wagged his finger in your face. You say that it is all about jobs. I read where the Black teenage unemployment rate in Washington, DC, AKA the Land of the Immortal Golden Goose, the Land from where all milk and honey flow, is 50%. I will bet a penny to $10 that you believe that one way to stop this would be to raise the minimum wage.

In the land of the blind the one-eyed man is King. God Bless Congressman West wherever he lives.
