I see nothing wrong with being a conservative black men what I see wrong is when some of them open their mouths and talk down about their race black or white. May be I'm old fashion but if you are a politician unless you are running for that office you should not talk down about the President of the USA black or white. How can the US government get any respect from other nation when they are in house fighting all the time, I can understand disagreements but no one in either party wants to compromise. They are not conservatives they are idiots with a agenda that most are not buying into. A conservative black men is not a threat, most blacks are conservative liberals but those who think like him is a threat to all not just blacks. It's what comes out of their mouths that makes black people call them out. They call themselves conservatives but by what they say I don't see it.
Thanks copper380--I'm more of a Repulicatitarian ;)
I identify as Independent, but I'm certain some would go "HA!" at that. It's a great position to be in, though--both sides love us "swing" voters. I have never voted "party line" and I never will. I like to think about my choices not have others do it for me.
While we're being fair, why don't you acknowledge that you stretched the truth a bit when you called Ms. Rosen an "Obama staffer"? Also, you neglected to mention (though the article you linked does) that the actual Obama campaign universally condemned Ms. Rosen's remarks regarding Mrs. Romney.
To be honest, I never heard of Mr. Allen West before I read this article, so I hardly think he's much of a threat--more just a source of entertainment.
Conservative black male=biggest threat to liberal narrative=destruction of man's credibility (see Clarence Thomas, Allen West, Dr. Thomas Sowell, Condoleeza Rice, Alan Keyes, Herman Cain, JC Watts, etc. If they don't "go along to get along" they are labeled a multitude of names to include uncle tom, house negro, etc.......and those names don't come from the right. I am wondering there Matt, since you seem to want to keep posting political articles in LE News, how about being intellectually honest for once and post the article where the obama staffer said that Ann Romney has not worked a day in her life? As if raising 5 kids isn't working. Ok well tell you what, I will save you the trouble:

Reagan was definitely no fool. I love me some Reagan quotes, too.
"Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves."
"It has been said that politics is the second oldest profession. I have learned that it bears a striking resemblance to the first."
"I am not worried about the deficit. It is big enough to take care of itself."
"I call upon the scientific community in our country, those who gave us nuclear weapons, to turn their great talents now to the cause of mankind and world peace: to give us the means of rendering these nuclear weapons impotent and obsolete."
"I favor the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and it must be enforced at gunpoint if necessary."
sorry, had to pipe in....."'The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so.' - Ronald Reagan
Geez, is it that hard? The post is about some idiot running his mouth off, so I posted a Twain quote on that topic. Your poor self-image is certainly not my concern. Please go cry about it to someone else. ~Me
