Allen West sound just plain foolish. Good lord, are we now going to revert back to the “red scare” and start having hearings on rooting out the “communists”!
Solidad handled this beautifully. West is smart enough to realize that actually individually naming names of his colleagues may look untoward so thinks better of taking that final step, which really, in my opinion, solidifies the inanity of his communist blather.
Was Teddy Roosevelt a Communist? I hope not, but he sure was a Progressive! He was President during a very contentious period in American history. Remember the “square deal”? He was a strong advocate for fair labor contracts and busting up corporate monopolies. He created the first federal department to ensure the health of food products and safety of drugs.
Lets not forget our first National Parks also and push to protect our natural resources. Not sure how progress became a dirty word, but shame on West for scraping the bottom of the barrel to insult his fellow congressmen and congresswomen.
Thomas Jefferson was a progressive. Does anyone here really believe the Declaration of Independence was not a “progressive” forward thinking document?
