West Doubles Down on Communist Comments In Glenn Beck Radio Interview

In the wake of Allen West’s recent bombshell in which he claimed there are currently “78 to 81 members of the Democratic Party that are members of the Communist Party,” the mainstream media has gone on what conservatives could argue is a veritable witch-hunt. To hear his take on these events, Glenn Beck interviewed the Florida freshman during his Friday morning radio broadcast, noting that leftists are attempting to make West look like Joseph McCarthy.
West, ever poised, told Beck that Americans must stick to its founding principles and asked Democrats whether they believe in freedom and liberty, or “collective subjugation.”
“They can try to use the Saul Alinksy tactic of ridicule,” West said of his detractors, but they are “not answering the question Americans want to hear.“ He added that progressive lawmakers are ”running away” from the real issue.
West maintained that it comes down to an “ideological separation” and a choice between two very different futures. He refused to apologize or backtrack for his Communist remarks, saying this is an “important debate.”
When Beck and his co-hosts mentioned their disappointment in the fact that West will likely not be tapped to run for Vice President as a result of his comments, West didn’t blink an eye.
“I’m not worried about being tapped” for VP he said. “I am worried about my country.”
He went on to say that if one is not willing to stand his or her ground and make this case “then you don’t have a political future.” Instead, the administration will create a “shadow government run by czars.”
Watch West in another powerful interview as he discusses liberty versus progressivism with Beck and his crew:

Posted on April 20, 2012 at 1:33pmLet me make it clear. Progressive Ideology = Communist Ideology. The name matters little. Call it Socialism, Marxism, Communism, Progressivism, or Collectivism, it doesn’t really matter. Allen West knows that if one embraces Communist ideas he or she should be considered a Communist. He knows that Progressives are Communists based on the ideas they embrace. So do Progressives=Communists?…….YES….Only because the ideas they embrace are = to the ideas that Communism embraces. Ask yourself…..Do Progressives believe and support the very same things that Communists do? The answer is…..YES. If you do not believe me, read the Communist Manifesto and then compare their goals to the vision of the Democratic Progressive Caucus. They are EXACTLY THE SAME !!! Progressives are the dirt bags of American Society.

Posted on April 20, 2012 at 1:50pmWho cares about the term Communism if it is a debatable subject?
Let’s change course to a subject that is undoubtedly an ultimate fact !!!!
There is an ideology just as dangerous as Communism is Washington D.C. and many more “representatives” of that ideology.
That nefarious concept is called DEMOCRACY !!!!!
The Constitution, the Bill of rights and the Declaration of Independence DO NOT mention Democracy.
The Founding Fathers loathed Democracy and thought it was the worst form of government there was.
Democracy means Majority Rules.
That Means 51% can rule 49%.
The Constitution Protects the 1%’s inherent unalienable rights from the will of the 99%.
No Person, Politician, Senate, Congress, President, Supreme Court Judge, or Pope can take away your Constitutional Rights !!!!
BOTTOM LINE !!!!!!

Contrary to what the Marxist Media would have us believe, Jospeh McCarthy was proven correct about communist agents & spies being in our government when the former Communist Soviet Union released the VENONA FILES at the end of The Cold War. (Run a search on Venona files).
Col. West is also correct and is being villified by communists in the media just like McCarthy was, and for the same reasons.

Posted on April 20, 2012 at 4:36pmOn The Blaze I find that a lot of people forget or do not admit that progressives are in the Republican Party also. This is why so many ignore the fact that Romney is a progressive. If he was not a progressive, he would not have the support of the corrupt elite corporations that want to keep the status quo going down the same path.
Progressive statements: GW Bush, “We have to abandon the free market in order to save it.” Nancy Pelosi, “The Constitution, are you serious?” Barack Obama, “The Constitution is full of negative liberties.” Romney, “Our president, for all the criticism he receives, has kept America safe these last six years, and he has done it by: One pursuing the Patriot Act, which has given us the intelligence information we needed to find out who the bad guys were and get them out before they got us, and No. 2, when al-Qaida was calling America, he made sure someone here was listening.”
Benjamin Franklin said, “Those that would give up essential liberty for the purchase of temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.”
Romney, when asked whether he would have signed the recent National Defense Authorization Act of 2012, that Obama signed, Romney said, “I would have signed.”
So much for the protection of what’s really important – the inalienable rights of American citizens.

I thought ridicule had been around more or less since the origin of human language. And I thought opponents had been ridiculing each other since opponents were invented! But what do I know?
I wonder if Saul Alinsky also invented lying about your opponent, as when you say they are “members of the Communist Party” when they are, in fact, not members of the Communist Party. Was that Saul Alinsky too? Did Saul Alinsky also invent appealing to the most base instincts, fear and ignorance of people whose vote you hope to get?
And, since Reagan thought millionaires should pay more taxes than their secretaries, does that mean Reagan was a communist?

It is sad.
Let’s try a different approach.
Under The District of Columbia Organic Act of 1871 a private corporation named, “The District of Columbia”, was formed. It trademarked the names “THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT”, “United States”, “U.S.”, “U.S.A.”, “USA”, and “America”.
By 1913 there was still no money for operating the government/corporation, so Corp. U.S. went to those seven very powerful families and asked if they could borrow money from them.
http://www.teamlaw.net/history.htm
A list of those 7 families:

In 1933, The United States Corp. defaulted on that loan and declared bankruptcy:

In 1944 at the Bretton Woods Treaty the Federal reserve transfered the lien on the U.S. to the IMF and World bank.
The United States Code (USC) Title 22 § 286 reads:
Ҥ 286. Acceptance of membership by the United States in International Monetary Fund.

None of the rest will even try, they will just do what has been done thinking they can run this country like a business better than the last and keep the croni-capitalistic state that we have been in for so long. If we could ever break away from this, we would see the less fortunate have the ability to live the American dreams of the past by doing what they love to do to make money without all the regulation BS that comes with any corporation. I am not sure if the masses have the fortitude to do what is necessary, as they just buy into the campign promises of the rich that want to be the next CEO.

The truth is that the Solyndra loan was rejected by the Bush administration because the company was too risky. On the other hand..your beloved “light in the darkness” Baraka Obama (sic) and his utterly stupid energy secretary Stephen Chu fasttracked the loan guarantees in 2009 to Solyndra, ignoring every indicator that this company was a disaster and to rub salt in the wounds of every American tax payer they subordinated the loan so that Obama’s bundler Kaiser could getout with his $75 million while the tax payer got left on the hook.

As a liberal, I do understand that your that being OCD is not something you can control, and so your inability to maintain a focus is perfectly understandable viewed with that perspective. Now I remember, even if you don’t, that you conceded being wrong on the Solyndra issue in one of your moments of clarity. But I also understand why, given you have a disorder beyond your control, you want to bring it up every time you see my user name. That’s normal.

There is only one way left to end this. Have the government run out of money and hike interest rates. At first this may seem like a bad idea but the Obama commies are dust without money .Face facts the US is never going to pay off that 16 + trillion dollar debt. And it’s only going to get worst. If you look the entire Washington desk squatter company it has a monthly payroll of around 16+ billion for around 3 million people.That’s about $35 per America a month just for their pay.

Posted on April 21, 2012 at 3:18pmRJJinGadsden says, “A year before his death Saul Alinsky essentially did reinvent the use of ‘ridicule’ in his desire to transform this country.” RJJinGadsden, I’d respond to that statement if I understood what it means that Alinsky “reinvented” the idea of ridicule. How did the use of ridicule differ before and after Alinsky? You agree he didn’t invent sarcasm, but you say he reinvented it. What exactly does that statement mean?
I understand the “transform the country” part of your statement, because, like Martin Luther King, he did fight for the civil rights of blacks. You might not like transformation of the country away from Jim Crow days, away from the horrible working and living conditions of the poorest among us, but most would disagree with you. Alinsky is just a right wing boogy man. He spent his life helping the poor and disadvantaged, a concept that those on the right find offensive, although most Christians don’t.
Sorry you‘re disappointed I haven’t read his books, although perhaps if I were organizing Tea Parties with Dick Armey I might have gotten one of the free copies he hands out. Is that where you got yours?
Did Alinsky also reinvent lying? You know, like saying 80 Congressmen are members of the Communist Party? Did he reinvent hateful insults, like calling a someone in congress “”vile, unprofessional ,and despicable,“ ”a coward,“ ”characterless,“ and ”not a Lady,“ and demanding that she ”shut the heck up.”?

Posted on April 21, 2012 at 4:14pmMcCarthy was right. We all know that, now. It’s history. He was 100% correct.
It was the threat of exposing the totality of communist infiltration in government that wound up turning the investigation back on him by both those inside as communist subversives AND those who didn’t want to go through the PAIN of that exposure for fear of losing their own careers in politics.

What do you know about the modern Communists and how they operate?
“Communism is neither a pure idea nor a doctrinaire model of society. It is not the name of a state regime, nor of a new mode of production. It is the name of the movement that permanently overcomes/abolishes the established order. But it is also the goal that, borne from this movement, orients it and, as different from politics without principles, actions without consequences, or day to day improvisions, enables it to determine what comes close to the goal and what strays from it….It names, indissociably, the irreducible dream of another world of justice, equality and solidarity; the permanent movement that seeks to overturn the existing order in the age of capitalism; and the hypothesis that orients this movement toward a radical transformation of the relations of property and power…” -Daniel Bensaid — leader of the Trotskyist movement in France. He became a leading figure in the student revolt of 1968, died in 2010 and would have been a focus of theological study by our President back in his college days. “Recreate ‘68” Knowing that he is an internationalist, what do you think Van Jones meant by that?

At least West directs his fire against identifiable people belonging to the Progressive or Black Caucus, however laughable his assertion that they are Communists, Marxists, statists, whatever. McCarthy was an entirely empty suit with a bad shave.

Posted on April 20, 2012 at 1:07pmThe GOP had better at least give Mr. West a close look. I think he’s the one who could help the conservatives really get behind Mr. Romney.

Posted on April 20, 2012 at 1:05pmI share West’ s worry. Can only imagine what May 1 holds in store for us when these Adbusters’ Occupiers celebrate their world-wide International Workers of the World Day. Wonder if the White House will also share their anti-capitalist ” frustration ?” Duh. How dumb do these radicals think the American voter is ?

If Allen West was really worried about his country he would not have voted in favor of NDAA!
Allen West is a NEW WORLD ORDER OPERATIVE who is playing us for suckers.

Posted on April 20, 2012 at 1:07pmOn the flip side of the coin, the NDAA would be really nasty against liberals, Marxists, and communists under a conservative regime.

A re-election of Obama is just fine with a Ron Paul supporter. To a Paul acolyte…. if it ain’t Ron Paul… then anyone BUT a Republican is just fine with them just like in ‘08. Subversives, nothing more.

Posted on April 20, 2012 at 8:22pmTime_2, It is so funny how out of touch you are, and that goes for barber also. We are against progressives and croni-capitalism in both parties. The thing about you party line people is that you do nopt care how conservative or unconservative a candidate is as long as they tell you what you want to hear. It does not matter how much they lie to you, your feeble brains believe anything these people with R’s in front of their name tells you. You do not care who they are embolden to, you just want them to give you what you want and what they cannot give you. It is quite a shame as you really seem to be intelligent, but let you selfishness get in the way of your brain.

This is what Romney needs to begin doing at every juncture. Beat this fact into the minds of so many clueless Americans that this ideology has filed chapter 13 more times than you can shake a stick at. It’s an inherently corrupt ideology and throw in socialism and Marxism as well, because they’re all one in the same.
It’s one thing to bamboozle most of the American public. However, when it gets to the point when the informed are stifled into not being honest about this abomination in the White House, then this is becomes a critical problem that will deep-six this nation.

Posted on April 21, 2012 at 4:33pmRomney is a Comrade. Comrade Soros has already approved Comrade Romney. Are there still people in the United States who think the Republicans care anything at all about the Constitution of early America? The Republicans turned our monetary system over to the bankers of the Bolshevik Revolution a hundred years ago and pushed the Bolshevik agenda just as hard and fast as they could. Relax and enjoy Soviet America. It is what it is.
