I love this man: retired Army Lt Col. and U.S. Representative from Florida Allen West! Why isn’t this man the GOP presidential nominee, is such an hour of great need for our country?

With ObamaCare being upheld by a rogue Supreme Court, the American people are left with little recourse but to back a pathetic GOP presidential candidate, in the hopes of bringing down the greatest threat to liberty since FDR’s “New Deal.” But that does not mean we should or even must surrender the values that made America great. In fact, this is the time when we should and must go on the offensive to push back liberal incursions against the American way, and erect bulwarks that can not only protect against assaults against freedom in the future, but that can help hold weak-kneed politicians in both parties accountable in the near-term.

For years the liberal media has been throwing a tantrum about conservative political spending; they would have us all believe that corrupt conservative activists are buying politics. Yet for every dollar the Koch brothers donate, progressive bankrollers Ford Foundation and Tides are now spending at least another $23. This cash-swollen structure of politics is a symptom of a cancerous, sick system wherein the government has jurisdiction over practically every aspect of our lives, making every issue inherently political.

The Supreme Court is no longer relevant. Long viewed as the last bastion protecting the individual from the rapacious powers of the federal government, SCOTUS, in the name of Chief Justice John Roberts, declared themselves meaningless. If government can compel individuals to purchase a private product under the guise of its taxing authority, even when the government itself argued that the individual mandate was not a tax, then the government can compel individuals to do anything they choose.

After Rick Santorum dropped out of the GOP presidential primary, my plan had been to vote third party in the presidential election. The thought of rewarding with my vote the Leftist RINO establishment and “mainstream” media for shoving a worthless excuse for a Republican like Romney down my throat tasted like bile-and it still does. However, I never seriously thought the SCOTUS would uphold this unconstitutional travesty known as ObamaCare. Where does that leave a principled conservative who is dedicated to preserving freedom and the American republic?

“I would rather be right than President,” stated Henry Clay, who died JUNE 29, 1852. The son of a Baptist minister, Henry Clay was elected Speaker of the U.S. House 6 times, having served in Congress over 40 years with Daniel Webster and John Calhoun. The State of Kentucky placed Henry Clay’s statue in the U.S. Capitol’s Statuary Hall.
