Allen West: ‘Silly’ for Republicans to Negotiate With ‘Marxist, Socialist, Rigid Ideologue’ Obama

Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) on Thursday called it “silly” for Republicans to negotiate with “Marxist, socialist, rigid ideologue” President Barack Obama.

Speaking on Mark Levin’s radio program, West said the GOP needs to stop its “circular firing squad” and focus on “unity based upon principles.”

“This whole thing about having having negotiations with President Obama is silly,” West said. “President Obama is Marxist, socialist, rigid ideologue and for whatever reason, he believes he has some self-conceived mandate to go out and further destroy and ruin our economy.”

House Republicans and the White House have been deadlocked over how to deal with the looming “fiscal cliff,” which will trigger automatic tax hikes and sharp spending cuts unless both sides can reach a budget agreement before the end of the year.

West, a Tea Party firebrand who lost his re-election bid last month, said that instead of wasting time negotiating with Obama, it’s up to House members to go out and “pass good policy,” then turn to the media and say, “we’ve done our job now what are you going to do.”

Listen to the full interview below, relevant portion begins at the 2:30 mark.

He couldn’t fight the democratic machine that stole the election from him through voter fraud. A
true American patriot being screwed by democratic politicans, politicans who have the audacity to stand in front of the American flag when they speak their diatribe. They do everything possible to stop our American soldiers from sending in their absentee ballet, yet try to change the laws so felons can’t vote. Your spit sir isn’t good enought to shine the boots of Col. West.

  @BROTHER WINSTON SMITH: Allen West is a Christian Conservative Patriot. I have always viewed you PaulTARDS as even worse than Obamites. You’re (for the most part) godless, racist, antagonistic, anarchistic, and divisive isolationist’s. You’ll sacrifice the Republic and every Patriot in it if things don’t go your way (exemplifying your racist tendencies).

  @ThatsJustCrazyTalk, So you support all those things? Do you know him personally? Can YOU tell me what he voted for that you actually agree with? Most West ‘idol worshipers’ don’t have a clue how he voted. They just hear his rhetoric on few second clips here and there. I can assure you that West has voted as Brother Winston claims. He’s essentially said by his voting record that he doesn’t believe in the 1st, 4th, 6th, and 10th amendments in two years as a Tea Party member. You don’t have to be a Ron Paul supporter to realize that a politician that believes he can take away your god-given rights this way is a good congressman.

  If Ron Paul was such a savvy political stud, why did he run as a Republican? Even if he was the presidential candidate and had a lot of supporters he still would’ve lost through voter fraud.

  The answer to Ron Paul running as a Republican is what’s going on right now within the Republican Party. If Paul had run as a 3rd party candidate he never would have been allowed into the debates and his message would not have spread like it has. It’s largely because of him that the GOP leadership is being exposed as top-down dictators. If it wasn’t for his supporters in Tampa, we never would have seen the corruption of Romney, Boehner, Priebus, et al. on display so blatantly on national TV. Anyone with a brain knows the establishment ran a rigged convention down there. And now, at least a couple of Ron Paul supporting congressman have been booted off their committees because they are fiscal conservatives. Now it’s not just Paul supporters who notice this, it’s talk radio as well. His message is getting out and becoming more mainstream within the party, even if he never receives the credit he is due from fools like you.

  You mean Obama is a socialist AND a Marxist? How can you be both? Or is he just name calling?
  
  “Further destroy the economy?” Maybe he’s forgotten that the economy was “destroyed” in 2007, after seven years of Bush policies.
  
  And to call a President names and suggest that you shouldn’t negotiate with them is something that surely has the founding fathers rolling over in their graves.
  
  There’s a reason Floridians gave this guy the boot and this is it. People are sick of this kind of scorched earth demagoguery and sick of “rigid ideologues” like West.

  “You mean Obama is a socialist AND a Marxist? How can you be both?”
  Socialism is a form of government (or, perhaps a “goal of” government), while Marxism is a belief system that emphasizes class struggle to reach the end goal of “Communism” (as Marx described it, of course, no matter that small groups of people had lived in communistic societies for thousands of years before Marx.
  Actually, many socialists are also Marxists (who see socialism as a “steeping stone” in the Marxist game plan). You probably already knew that, I suppose, and thought that West was guilty of redundancy and you wanted to poke fun. If you underestimate West’s grasp of the concepts of Marxism or Islamism, you (sadly) have a great deal of company. I wonder if there is racism afoot? Is that a dog whistle that I am hearing?

  Communists only respect superior power. If the House GOP told Obama he had till December 20th to make an agreement or the House will shut down until January, the Communist dictator might change his mind. The Communist dictator will never negotiate with a weak childish GOP.

All of you backward jerks that “just love Allen West” have no idea what you’re talking about. This guy is a mole – do you know what a mole is? Check out his voting record to learn the real truth about this phony. He voted for many anti-American bills that went through the house and passed including the NDAA.

Furthermore, why didn’t he speak up and call Mr. Obama those names before he was defeated, because he’s a coward and a plant by those that would overthrow our Republic, that’s why! Get wise.

This turkey is no different than Michelle Bachmann, who ran for President illegally. You cannot run for President of the U.S. if you ever held dual citizenship. She was a citizen of Switzerland/America. That’s another phony that you and Glenn Beck fell for !

  And in 2012, West was way down compared to 2011… so these critiques of west are not without merit, depending on your viewpoint and what you agree/do not agree with.

  (1) I know who Bill Ayers is, I think he’s a fine intelligent man.
  (2) Just because you know someone or are even friends and agree on somethings, doesn’t mean you absorb all their views on everything by osmosis. (i.e. just because Obama knew/knows Ayers, doesn’t mean he’s a clone of Ayers…which is only bad to YOU because YOU don’t like Ayers)
  
  @MDECKER
  It IS a laughing matter–just CALLING someone a “Marxist socialist” doesn’t MAKE them either of those things–and even IF it were true that Obama were either, West would only have proven that he was those things (which he hasn’t even bothered to do besides baldly assert as much)–he’d still have to show why anyone should consider that a BAD thing. This isn’t the Cold War anymore–you actually have to give a SUBSTANTIVE reason why something is bad, not just call it a label (correctly or no) that YOU think is scary.
  
  @THE-REAL-ENRICO
  Correct–I AM a socialist and I see no reason to mince words about it. I also feel anarcho-communism, in the sense sketched out by Marx, would be the ideal socioeconomy that I can imagine (though not necessarily the “ultimately good” one–I’m not sure such a thing exists), if we could achieve a post-scarcity economy and eliminate the collective action problem. But that’s besides the point, since of course we’re far from either of those-but it’s important to have goals. Now if West had called ME those things, it wouldn’t be a problem–he WOULDN’T be making shi

  Redistributionary policy.
  
  That’s an effect not a goal of socialism and Marxism–the problem isn’t that there IS disparity, the problem is when that disparity has negative consequences. It’s the consequence that must be corrected–sometimes that will have a direct effect of reducing the disparity itself, and sometimes no, but it isn’t the stupid strawman you set up of “oh, differences are problematic in and of themselves.” If massive wealth disparity didn’t undermine aggregate demand and diminish optimal social utility, it WOULDN’T be a problem–but it DOES, and so it is a matter of public concern.

Here is the situation.

Going off the fiscal cliff is an Obama wet dream. Taxes go up on everyone, the military gets hammerred, spending goes up everywhere else and in the end Obummer get to ride in on his white horse qand demand that the GOP give the middle class back there money (reduce tax rate back to Bush on 250K or less). The debt hits 23 Billion in 4 years, we become Greece and the GOP gets the historical blame for agreeing to this.

Now why would Obummer cut a better deal with the GOP when he can have this? He won’t! Any deal will be worse with the same result.

THEREFORE COLONEL WEST IS RIGHT!!!!!!!

The only exception being killing Hollywood with confisctory taxes now.

  Uh-huh, let’s see
  
  ACTUAL Fake Tea Party GOPer
  
  +30 career politician who never advanced the Constitution but advanced close to $31 billion in earmark pork.
  Publishes racists newsletters, in 1995 promotes them and then in 2011 denies they ever existed, AKA a liar.
  Blames 9/11 on America.
  Supports Iran having nuclear weapons.
  Calls Israel Nazis when reenforcing their borders.
  Calls for open borders in the US.
  Preaches isolationism.
  Supports the fascist/communist supported OWS.
  In 2008 calls ultra socialists Ralph Nader and Cynthia McKinney “beacons of freedom.”
  Supports drug legalization.
  Supports prostitution legalization.
  Calls himself “pro-life” and then thinks that if the state says it’s ok to murder an unborn child, it’s okee-dokee.
  Sides with Sheila Jackson Lee on trying terrorists in civilian courts.
  Etc.
  
  Yeah how is Ron Paul the “actual conservative?”
  
  I’ll bet if Ron Paul had another name and ran as a GOP candidate you would think he is the worst RINO in the world. Ron Paul is a neo-lib and border line neo-con.

Col West pegs it. We fought communists in Vietnam. We fought them in Korea. We fought them in the cold war with tanks and nuclear bombs. Obama will never admit he is a communist just like Roosevelt would never admit it. His administration would be destroyed if he did. We would have every right to take up arms against him and remove him forceably from office. Instead, he hides behind stupid democrats.

  I like West but not in political office. West talks a big game but does not follow through. He knowing voted against our liberties and freedom to indefinitely detain American citizen without warrant or a trail and voted to keep increasing spending multiple times.
  
  He doesn’t need to be in political office. He could use his voice some where else just not some where he is voting bills.

  “Nothing”, while taking a principled stand for fiscal responsibility, smaller government and Constitutional strict construction, is better than caving in to the Obama Administration and raising taxes without any quid pro quo on cutting entitlement spending. Lap-dog Press or not, if this economy crashes any worse than it already has, Obama owns it. The Dems control the Senate and have not allowed a budget to pass in almost 4 years. To semi-quote Gandolf the Good in “The Lord of the Rings”, “They shall not pass.”

  If Obama doesn’t negotiate he still gets what he wants. We go over the fiscal cliff and the taxes go back up to what they were before the Bush tax cuts. Obama wins without having to lift a finger. If Republicans will negotiate they will get some of what they want, just like Soy said.
  
  Either way, at this point, the taxes on the rich will go up. If the fiscal cliff is not avoided, and taxes for (almost) everyone increases, then Republicans will get most, if not all of the blame for it, making election bids for 2014 even more unlikely.
  
  Rand Paul believes that Republicans should let Obama “win” this one, that way he will wholly own it if things go south. I tend to agree with that sentiment.

The Democrats play chess, we play checkers.

Who is driving the culture? Rich liberal elites are. So there is a Cliff? The GOP should make them be the first to take the plunge. The GOP should not stand on principle, hey need to play some poker.

Agree with Obama that the 1% should bear the brunt of the tax burden. Send Obama a bill that says, we are not interested in raising taxes on Mr. and Mrs. Mainstreet and the middle class so we are going to reduce their taxes by 50% on income below 1 million dollars. All income over one million dollars, i.e. Wall St. Fat Cats (read Buffet), Actors (read Ed Asner, Stewart and Letterman) , Bankers (read Obama Guitner bundlers) will be taxed at a 95% rate including capitol gains.

Then you will see a Morsi moment. Hollywood, NBA, NFL, and Wall Street will be storming the white house. Obama will be forced to defend the Uber rich while the GOP champions the middle class.

Hollywood will learn ASAP, “be careful whqat you wish for cause here it is”.

  Barber, You really love your Aussie / Saudi owned news outlet, don’t you? Never mind Rupert’s a globalist with membership to the CFR, (rubbing elbows with Soros) or that he and his right hand man called for gun control following a shooting spree, they speak the truth… Come on, man. Every time there’s a racial topic the panel goes from it’s standard lily white to all black, as if that makes a difference in how people should come to grips with the topic. It’s inadvertently racist.
  
  Oh and I’m still waiting for you to tell me what votes of West’s you like. You’re kind of running away from that question like a little bi’otch because your foolish pride won’t let you admit that you’re ignorant of the topic and let other people (FOX) do your thinking for you.

  @Gregb Please don’t jump the gun. West is the black Newt Gingrich. They both very quick, smart and use powerful languish in the defense of conservatism but do not follow through with actions.
  
  I would love for West to continue to speak out against marxist and marxism but not in political office where actions and voting matters.
  
  He has repeatedly voted for increasing wasteful spending and against our freedoms.
  
  West is Tea in name only.

  How about some one else who has not voted against our freedom to defiantly detain U.S citizens without trail or warrant etc. He also voted repeatedly for spending increases and stimulus bailout etc.
  
  He uses powerful words but does not back them up with action. He could use his voice as a powerful speaker but not political office.
