A Democratic lawmaker says Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) “deliberately” offended members of the Congressional Black Caucus by having chicken and biscuits from Chick-fil-A catered to their weekly meeting, the Huffington Post reports.
Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-Fla.) said West even went a step further and walked out of the meeting even though it was his turn to provide the group with a formal lunch. He told the Huffington Post that the incident took place roughly 6 months ago but he apparently feels they are relevant given the recent controversy surrounding restaurant President Dan Cathy’s decision to publicly back traditional marriage.
================================================== =========================
So.... 6 MONTHS AGO, it was West's turn to cater lunch for the Black Caucus, and he chose Chic-Fil-a. There was no story or controversy for 6 months, but suddenly, the Chick-Fil-a controversy arises, and now all of a sudden, they decided they are upset with him about this!
A-MAZING!
LOL. It's like time travel for the criminally outraged.
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

Whats wrong with chicken and biscuits? I like chicken and biscuits.
They liked 'em too, according to the story, there were no leftovers. No one defiantly refused to eat Chick-fil-a on principle, and no one walked out in protest.
alcee hastings is the last asshole to complain about being offended after being impeached from the federal courts.
A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.
West responds.....
Responding to Hastings comments, West said today he did not recall any controversy over the meal in question, adding that there was nothing left of the food when the meeting was over. He questioned Hastings’ motives, calling it a case of “political elitism.”
West had not read the article -- partly, he said, because it was in the Huffington Post, a publication he has publically ridiculed in the past. He made it clear that he was not trying to send any kind of message to the caucus, as Hastings suggested.
“It is the American taxpayers’ dollars being used,” West said. “I don’t feel like it’s my responsibility to go out and get steak and lobster tails for the members of the Congressional Black Caucus.”

Isn't Alcee Hastings an impeached judge? Who gives a flying fuck what he thinks. Allen West rocks. Would rathe have him as nominee than Romney

Yep, and I fear what we may discover this election is, that's the kind of firebrand conservative we need to carry our message. Every time I hear Romney speak, it sounds like he is trying to explain himself, or apologetically make his points. I'm tired of walking on eggshells with these people, it's time to take the gloves off and pop them in the kisser with their own style of politics. West has no problem calling them outright Socialists, and neither should we... neither should Romney.
LOL
:lol:
I'm looking forward to the coming election and the dismisal of Allen West, R-Plantation.
His 15 minutes are up .. and he RAN from his old district .. trying to run from his fate.
I've never figured out why they let this bozo into the CBC in the first place.
AMERICAN HISTORY ITSELF IS A TESTAMENT TO THE STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE OF AFRICAN PEOPLE. WE, ALONG WITH THE COURGE AND SACRIFICES OF CONSCIOUS WHITE AMERICANS, LIKE VIOLA LIUZZO, EVERETT DIRKSEN, AND MANY OTHERS, HAVE FOUGHT AND DIED TOGETHER FOR OUR FREEDOM, AND FOR OUR SURVIVAL.
In America, rights are are not determined by what is just, fair, equitable, honest, nor by what Jesus would do. Rights are determined ONLY by what you can DEMAND.
Uhm.. really? You need some help with that one?I've never figured out why they let this bozo into the CBC in the first place.
Nope. :0)
I'm real sure there is nothing you can tell me about the CBC that has any significance to me.
The CBC is a liberal organization. Even JC Watts knew that. West adds nothing and is scorned and rejected by the membership.
Of course he could go off and start his own conservative congressional organization .. and be its only member. :0)

Shows you just how racist the CBC really is, just as long as you vote with the rest of slaves you will be OK.

that is interesting. doesn't that make their name a little misleading then?
Shouldn't they be the CBLC? The Congressional Black Liberal Caucus?
Interesting that you are only interested in a brother as long as he tows the democrat line. God forbid he jump off the democrat plantation.
