Only two blacks were newly elected to congress this cycle, and both are Republican. LTC. Allen West is from southern Florida, a bastion of the Democratic Party. He won in a walk.
It is worth the viewing. This new Congressman was an extremely popular commander in Iraq. He was forced to retire because during an intense combat action a few of his men were captured. At the same time his men had captured one of the guys who were with the Iraqis who captured his men.
This is not my account of the happenings:
Knowing that time was crucial and his interrogators were not getting anywhere with the prisoner COL West took matters into his own hands. He burst into the room and demanded thru an interpreter that the prisoner tell him where his men were being taken. The prisoner refused so COL West took out his pistol and placed it into the prisoner's crotch and fired. Then the COL told the prisoner that the next shot would not miss. So the prisoner said he would show where the American service members were being taken. The Americans were rescued. Some one filed a report on incorrect handling of prisoners. COL West was forced to retire. COL West was just elected in November 2010 to Congress from Florida. During the elections he was part of a panel on how to handle or how to relate to Muslims. You will see his answer here.
Here is one of the new congressmen from Florida explaining very definitively in just over a minute the truth about Islam. Please watch and if you agree; please forward it to your friends

Comment by Robbie Eagle on August 28, 2011 at 10:31pm I would vote for West in a heart beat. The only thing that bothers me about him being President is that he wouldn't last long.I truly believe that he would be murdered.To many politicians fear him as well as radical groups.
I have always felt that LBJ was a player in the death of Kennedy. I do not think that the death of J.F.K.JR. was an accident.
Just my thoughts on the way our Gov. goes to whatever extreme deemed necessary to achieve the end goal.

Would you explain, "Lets ( let's ) get allen ( Allen ) elected, till he makes his move."?

Comment by Diogenes on August 27, 2011 at 10:51pm What is the purpose of the Congressional Black Caucus, Latino et al? Does it mean solidarity for the benefit of
promoting legislation favorable to one or more groups. We speak of the desire for legitimate government, versus a pyramid government that keeps growing beyond that conceived by the founders; a government which seeks to sustain its own livelihood and benefits by cultivating programs aimed at getting themselves the re-elected. It seems to me that by legitimizing the recognition of special groups it defeats the purpose of
representative government in which we are all equal, versus institutionalized polarization and special treatment. Each candidate should be asked if government as the founders envisioned intended the special recognition of of race and color.
