In a recent email to supporters that touched on the Occupy Wall Street protests, Rep. Allen West (R-FL) offered this appraisal of President Obama’s understanding of America:
I truly believe President Barack Obama does not comprehend American exceptionalism. He does not fathom that in America the station of your birth does not determine the station of your outcome. America is not about class or caste, it is about rewarding individuals for their drive and determination, for their hard work and ideas.
America is about the individual and not about a collective. We are not like “The Borg” of Star Trek.
Liberal progressives do not want to unleash our individual strength, they prefer to foment collective divisiveness, which is exactly what this “Occupy Wall Street” movement is about.
Never forget that every time in the history of the world that a national leader has demagogued and demonized a targeted segment of society, it has ended up horribly for that country.
