  Conservatives respect life and oppose abortion. If you care about people you will vote conservative.

  This guy gets it!
  Just be curious enough to find out what makes Allen West such an outstanding leader; it's not his skin color, or his race. Decide if being a Democratic drone is better than being a successful, independent thinking man.

  It shouldn't matter at all. I don't like some of the content of the video.
  
  I think that urban black communities would benefit most from libertarian beliefs and classical economic policies to be honest, but don't expect them to ever accept them. Conservative values would also be a help, but not nearly as much.

  NO [explain why not].

  

  I said NO because I don't think anybody, black, white, whatever...'SHOULD' be anything other than what THEY 'WANT' to be....I think that a better way to have phrased the question would have been... 'COULD a black man (or woman) today be a conservative Republican ??? '...
  With that being said...WHY they choose NOT to be conservative Republicans is another issue altogether...heres an interesting article regarding racial politics...check it out...

  Bo...that is a picture from the article I posted...I had hoped it would get you to go to the article...you have misinterpreted why it was presented. Please go to the article, give it a read, and if you still feel the same way, then I apologize if I have offended you.

  I am sorry . Your article was a little long but you are right . The republican party started to help slaves. Now liberals try to take the credit. Bet this happens all the time. You did not offend me. I thought you did this to get a rise out of people. I feel bad now. Sorry again.

  A black man, in the United States, can be anything he wants to be. That is not the case for many black men across the world.
  
  The video of this particular man pretty much lays it all it as to why he is a Conservative Republican. What is there to argue with? The guys gets it, and he says it, and he lives it. God Bless him!

  With the unemployment rate being so high for African-Americans under the Obama administration, black men should want to be Conservative Republicans...so that they can pay for their own mortgage and gas.

  Yeah why not? Are you suggesting that African Americans cannot decide what political ideals that they agree with, or that they cannot think for themselves when it comes to current events?
  
  Any man, of any race, of any creed, of any gender, of any way of life.....can choose what they want to believe in based on what they agree with. If that's to be a conservative, then that's what it is.

  The Afro-American community is best served by conservatism, pro-family, pro-life, limited government, sound money, low taxes, and no stupid foreign wars are in their best interest.

  Because you understand why.
  You understand yourself better than a 20 year old kid who is a liberal because their favorite teacher in college was a liberal.
  You understand yourself better than a 50 year old man who votes Republican/ Democrat because their daddy voted Republican/ Democrat and their daddy before them voted Republican/ Democrat.

  He can be whatever he wants to be, but his first line, "he hates war" doesnt fit. Republicans are typically the war mongers more so than democrats. Everything he said could fit some dems too, but he chose the dark side. I wish him the best.

  Who killed the top terrorist leaders? It wasnt the republican administration. We can have a strong national defense without going to war, as Obama recently proved.

  Would you like to go do the research into the team of analyst that were responsible for finding Bin Laden over a ten year period your messiah was just sitting in the chair when he was finally found and it wouldn't have been any different if it was Obama, Bush or Mickey Mouse as to who killed the top terrorist leader it was Navy Seals and since tomorrow is Dec 7th it only seems appropriate that you are reminded that we were taking a neutral position when we were sneak attacked by japan.

  Look, I will block your sorry arrss, if you dont quit trying to demean me. It was on his shoulders to make the decision. He could have said for them to go in and they could have all been killed or captured. It was a big responsiblity all on him, so dont act like you think he didnt do anything.

  If the truth bothers you so much then block me as you will bothers me not in the least but Im not going to sugar coat something to make you feel better about your choice of a President. Your remarks are skewed and you are wrong; the sitting President whomever it is would have made the call on OBL so Obama didnt do anything dramatic as much as he and his cronies and sycophants are going to try to make it into something else. He did his job which is actually a first when you think about it

  I am not going to be insulted by you. If you want to have a discussion, we can have one. But enough of the name calling, ok? We got rid of OBL without the loss of one soldier, whereas Bush's administration killed over 4600 and 20,000 wounded. Obama's administration and defense is fighting a new kind of war, which I think is brilliant. If you dont want to give him credit, then dont. I really dont care.

  No I am an American and I am a realist. I am not swayed by speeches I am swayed by actions. It is unfortunate that many like you absolutely refuse to truly look into data and details regarding this man and his administration and blindly believe everything he says. I have said it before and will say it again, a glorified used car salesman years ago they were called flim flam men.
