Do you think there will ever come a time when conservatives will stop trying to claim that America is solely "their" country and will stop telling other Americans with whom they disagree to get out?
I don't.
"Take your message of economic dependency, take your message of enslaving the entrepreneurial will and spirit of the American people somewhere else. You can take it to Europe, you can take it to the bottom of the sea, you can take it the North Pole, but get the hell out of the United States of America." - Rep. Allen West, Republican, Florida [source]
The proper response? Make me.
Allen West is a moronic douchebag who should resign. He's an embarrassment to Florida and to the United States House of Representatives (and that is saying A LOT).
It should be noted that other than two years as a government contractor with MPRI, West's last experience in the private sector probably dates back to high school. Not only that, he's a product of long-term government employees. Combine that with his heavily subsidized college education and you'll be hard pressed to argue that the government can't make things at least a little better.
