Allen West: Time to teach Obama ‘lesson our forefathers taught King George III’

Former Rep. Allen B. West had some harsh words for President Obama and the Supreme Court on Sunday night, taking to Facebook to express his disdain for the court’s decision on Proposition 8.

“This week we’ll celebrate the 237th anniversary of our independence. But are we a free people?” Mr. West, a Florida Republican, asked.

“SCOTUS made an ill-conceived ruling believing the choice of sexual behavior should trump the people’s referendum. We are free to love anyone or anything we desire in America, but that does not correlate to rights beyond the unalienable ones Jefferson articulated 237 years ago.

  6. This country has gone full circle, only took 237 years. Was the greatest nation on earth concerning human freedom while it lasted.

  7. 808, that was a short-lived title. Was that when we had slaves in chains, the kkk terrorizing minority communities, Jim Crow era? Could have swore this describes a majority of US history. Seems the advent of true equal rights is pretty recent (historically speaking) in the US.
