Where is the Outrage? Allen West Speaks Out

While I was petitioning, I actually ran into a few registered voters who did NOT speak nor write or understand English. You have to wonder how they can make a difference in our process. Even our ballot information from the Supervisor of Elections is in both English and Spanish and Lake Worth's election information is also in Spanish. We are making it easier and easier for immigrants never to assimilate and truly be a part of this country.

Adopted by referendum in 1988, English is the official language of Florida. One of the main reasons voters approved this amendment was to cut the costs of government and reduce waste caused by producing information in different languages. As you can see by the huge influx of illegal aliens over the last 20 years, this objective never was realized and the Florida Charter as well as the voters wishes have been ignored.

At 9:30 I was voter number 31. Today's primary is very important to several elections:

Kristin Jacobs/Lois Frankel in District 22. The winner today will run against Republican Adam Hasner in November's General Election.

Mack Bernard/Jeff Clemens in District 27. The winner of this primary will be our new State Senator District 27.

It's Do or Die Day for Some - Election Day

Primary for Democratic Party:

Don't let Mack Bernard or Jeff Clemens fool you. Neither one of them is a rubber stamp for Rick Scott. They are both Democrats. Whoever wins this election today will be our new Florida State Senator District 27. And you, whether Democrat, Republican or Independent will make that decision today. Those of us in Lake Worth already know about the bad Clemens' decisions when he was mayor. Update:  There is a write-in candidate. Whoever wins goes to the Nov election. Candidates who benefit from a one party-only election in August arrange for a write-in candidate to challenge them in November, to keep voters they don't like from being able to cast ballots in the primary.

Next comes the Lois Frankel/KRISTIN JACOBS race for District 22.  JACOBS is it

Clerk of the Circuit Court:  SHARON BOCK

Tax Collector:  ANN GANNON

Sheriff:  JOE TALLEY. I'm afraid Bradshaw is too powerful in PBCounty and there are people who just love him no matter what, no matter the costs, no matter the amount of crime. Remember the organized hysteria in LW to keep the Sheriff? With an astronomical budget of $482,587,380 for 2011/2012, this year Bradshaw wanted 7.5 million more. His budget is already 60% of the entire county budget. The sheriff says more than $5 million - 70 percent of the increase - is to pay for personnel. Employee compensation by far is the sheriff's office largest expenditure. We need change.

An American Tragedy

Comment Up

This is a flyer being distributed in our downtown. Anything goes in this great Republic of ours as far as first Amendment rights. And just think--there will be someone agreeing that he is "An American legend"..probably someone on "Mr. Nice Guy.  Perhaps he is equating himself to other legends such as Jesse James, who only robbed trains and banks not people's minds. Maybe it's the personification of the American people itself, Uncle Sam, a legend of monumental proportions.

Mr. Harrison is being charged with serious crimes and he can be released on bond when he comes up with $600,000.

These figures include legal and illegal residents in the United States with 43% of illegal aliens on some sort of welfare.

Mr. Nice Guy might get out on bail

Comment Up

A federal judge Friday morning ordered that Dylan Harrison, one of the men arrested for producing and nationally distributing synthetic marijuana under the name Mr. Nice Guy, and also charged with putting the community in danger and misbranding the product, will be released from jail once his family helps him post $600,000 bond.

Lake Worth Trio Commission suggests breaking the law

Comment Up

Whoa--the people had better call a Point of Order here. The Commission suggested breaking the law as offhandedly as the Mayor calls all her Points of Order when she doesn't want to hear a different viewpoint.

At the past city commission meeting, with the  commission majority still angry that citizens dare petition its government and dare go against its wishes, it was stated that the public needed to be educated on the height issue in our downtown. It was the trio's desire to include their "educational" information in with the Utility bill allowing all of us dopes (and thugs) to "see the light" as well as pay for it.

Here is what the law says:

106.113 Expenditures by local governments.—

(1) As used in this section, the term:

(a) “Local government” means:

1. A county, municipality, school district, or other political subdivision in this state; and

2. Any department, agency, board, bureau, district, commission, authority, or similar body of a county, municipality, school district, or other political subdivision of this state.

(b) “Public funds” means all moneys under the jurisdiction or control of the local government.

(2) A local government or a person acting on behalf of local government may not expend or authorize the expenditure of, and a person or group may not accept, public funds for a political advertisement or electioneering communication concerning an issue, referendum, or amendment, including any state question, that is subject to a vote of the electors. This subsection does not apply to an electioneering communication from a local government or a person acting on behalf of a local government which is limited to factual information.

Message from Allen West

Dear Patriot,

Greetings to our constituents, fellow Floridians, and all Americans. It is time for another weekly update.

“Those who refuse to participate in politics shall be governed by their inferiors.” America has fallen prey to individuals who truly are not the best and brightest amongst us. They seek political office not to serve but as a stepping-stone for power and control. Indeed, they want not to serve, but to be served.

At this time, our President has better things to do than address the looming issue of sequestration, also known as the hollowing out of our military. Thanks to the idea of the "Super Committee," an idea courtesy of United States Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV), Americans are now facing a specter that will surely reduce the greatest military in the world to a shell of itself.

Although I've only been in Washington, D.C. for 18 months, I quickly learned that as a leader, you will not always get 100 percent of what you seek. At times, you must go with a 75 percent solution, knowing that much of what you want for your country will still be accomplished in the negotiation. This is the very reason why I voted for the Budget Control Act of 2011. Pragmatism was essential to move forward.

Since then, the United States House of Representatives has approved legislation to stave off equestration, however, it sits on Majority Leader Reid’s desk. The “Commander-in-Chief” has remained virtually silent on the issue. One has to ask, what President would want the decimation of our Armed Forces on his watch? Unfortunately, this issue is being virtually ignored by the media.

The ever-growing American welfare-state also continues to be of little concern to the mainstream news pundits. One of the tenets of socialism is the creation and expansion of the welfare-state, which is key to promoting a dependency class. In his essay, “The Law,” Frederic Bastiat talked about how government enacts legal plunder based upon greed and misconceived philanthropy. Such is the case with the leading liberal progressive in America, whom I believe is President Barack Obama. I caught a lot of flak recently when I stated that I believe President Obama wants economic dependency. I said that I believe the President's kind of democracy is a form of enslavement. Harsh words perhaps. But the truth hurts, and facts are a killer. The question is, will the American people accept the truth or just march forward as mindless lemmings to the death of our constitutional republic? Click here

for the August 10th OP-ED from Investor’s Business Daily titled, "The United States of Dependency."

There is a clear choice America, economic freedom and liberty, or economic dependence and obedient servitude to the nanny-state. It’s your choice.

Steadfast and loyal,

Allen West

Quote of the Day - Marco Rubio

Comment Up

"Throughout his life, Mitt Romney has made great decisions, and choosing Paul Ryan as his running mate is a truly inspired choice. Ryan is a courageous reformer who understands our nation's challenges, has proposed bold policy solutions to solve them, and has shown the courage to stand up to President Obama and other Washington politicians trying to tear him down."

 ~ Senator Marco Rubio

New Blogger in town

Comment Up

A few of us become bloggers because we feel passionately about issues that affect our lives. It is a platform for those passions and  perspectives. Here in Lake Worth there are a few political blogs and a few "feel-good" blogs. Some bloggers are actually professional writers who just love to write on subjects that turn them on.

Lake Worth now has such a blogger, Margaret Menge. I casually mentioned one of her blogs this past Thursday when I provided a link to the Veterans Parade info. Margaret describes herself as follows:

"I've been in Lake Worth since November of 2010. I moved here from Key West, where I was deputy editor of the Miami Herald-owned paper there. I'm now an editor with Newsmax Media, where I work as an editor on a foreign intel site, Lignet.com, that was launched last year."

Lignet is a web site devoted to worldwide intelligence. The Langley Intelligence Group  Network (LIGNET.com) is a Washington, DC-based service providing global intelligence and  forecasting from former CIA, U.S. intelligence and national security officers, drawing on an  international network of experts and sources.

Her new blog, Lake Worth Sun will "just be focusing on Lake Worth, with stories here and there on what's happening at the Palm Beach County level," she said. She also started another blog Lovely Lake Worth where she will post "mostly features related to Lake Worth buildings, parks, history, etc."

Both blogs sound interesting and as we are rapidly approaching our 100th birthday, the Lovely Lake Worth blog in particular will be of great interest to all Lake Worthians.

Lake Worth Beach - a Parking Design Nightmare

Comment Up

Commissions come and go and in some ways, there has never been the ideal commission--you know, the one that makes all the correct decisions. They vote to outsource our police and fire costing us control and millions more; they vote to buy water from PB County rather than build our own RO plant; they waste millions and they voted to ruin our beach.

We have talked about this from the inception of the design plan. No one listened. This is the most ridiculous parking configuration imaginable. Two sides of parked cars backing onto two way oncoming traffic and into each other. We warned you for three years and all we ever got were dead eyes and blank stares.

The parking was just fine before commissioners voted to ruin our beach. People went crazy about all things green. People go to the beach--they don't go there to look at grass. They want convenient parking. This is an accident waiting to happen and accidents will happen, guaranteed.


This is now a two way street/parking lot combination! Even a bag boy at Publix could have designed this better. A non-architect would not have screwed this up so badly. Rearranging parking lots cost $5 million dollars on a Bond we have been paying on since 2004 PLUS we have to pay over a million more for infrastructure and lighting.

The blame of this nightmare is directly on the heads of a past commission but all subsequent commissions, especially this commission, could have stopped the madness.

Guy in Palm Beach County arrested for defrauding Investors

headlines from the PB Post:

Lake Worth financial planner arrested on allegations he defrauded investors out of more than $1 million

Of course it's irrelevant that he lives on OAKMONT DR, LAKE WORTH, FL 33467 that is in the county, not the City of Lake Worth.
