Sometimes you just want to Scream!


After reading Allen B West Marketwatch.com Outside the Box (and this was outside of the box) post of  Sept 18, 2012 http://www.marketwatch.com/story/the-republic-cannot-survive-so-much-dependency-2012-09-18 which contain some very remarkable words from a man about dependence on the Government, this from a man who from all appearances has been dependent on the Government from birth in 1961.
His father was a career military, so he was suckling the breast of the People and the Government of the United States of America from his first breath on this planet.  His mother was a civilian employee of the United States Marine Corp, is that double dipping of dependancy, again another dependency on the People and the Government of the United States America.  His parents were receiving retirement checks from the time they either retired from the military or civil service until their deaths from the People and Government of the United States of America; it appears that for a significant portion of their lives they were dependent on the People and Government of the United States of America.
After graduation from college University of Tennessee (dependent on the People and Government of Tennessee, and indirectly on the People and Government of the United States of America), probably on an ROTC scholarship (unknown by this author and only speculation based on his dates in his biography), (Would that be another dependency on the People and Government of the United States of America?), but at the very least possibility enrolled in an ROTC program, joins the United States Army, and servers 22 Years before retiring after an Article 32 investigation, which results in an Article 15, rather than an Article 39. (Again is that another dependency on the People and Government of the United States?).  While on Active Duty completes a Master Program in Political Science (Kansas State University (dependent on the People and Government of the State of Kansas and indirectly on the People and Government of the United States of America) and a Master of Military Arts and Science (United States Army Command and General Staff Officer College) paid for by the People and Government of the United States of America, again is that another dependency on the People and Government of the United States of America?
In 2004-2005, while drawing his retirement pay (dependency on the People and Government of the United States of America?) teaches US History and coaches Track and Field Deerfield Beach High School (dependency on the People and Government of the State of Florida and indirectly on the People and Government of the United States of America ?).
In 2006-2007, while drawing his retirement pay from the United States Government (dependency on the People and Government of the United States of America?) works for Military Professional Resources Inc., a defense contractor (again dependency on the People and Government of the United States of America) support United States operations in Afghanistan.
In 2008, while drawing his retirement pay from the United States Government (dependency on the People and Government of the United State of America?) runs for United States House of Representatives, he loses.
In 2010 while drawing his retirement pay from the United States Government (dependency on the People and Government of the United States of America?) run for the United States House of Representatives, and wins.  Now joins the incoming class of Representatives in January 2011, start drawing another paycheck with benefits from the People and Government of the United States of America.
These are words from an individual who for all intent and purpose has been dependent directly or indirectly on the People and Government of the United States of America for all of his life.  It is a clear case of not eating what you kill, of what is good for the goose is NOT good for gander. A clear case of do what I say NOT as I do.
Only God knows if Allen B West would be where he is today if not for being dependent on People and Government of the United States of America.
To paraphrase Shakespeare Julius Caesar 
“Yet Allen B West say many of us are dependent on the Government; and Allen B West is an honorable man; so are they all, all honorable men;”
Buffalo soldier speak with forked tongue, you are the poster child for people dependent on the People and Government of the United States of America, to be honest sir we all are poster children of people dependent of the People and Government of the United States of America, that is the whole bloody point to Government.
