INDEPENDENT CONSERVATIVE VOICE OF
UPSTATE SOUTH CAROLINA FOR OVER 30 YEARS!

Allen West TownHall Column 2026

It is time that we understand that there is a political party called Democratic, but that label, other than the jackass symbol, has nothing to do with who they are.

It is time that we understand that there is a political party called Democratic, but that label, other than the jackass symbol, has nothing to do with who they are. It is time we stop calling them Democrats and use references that align with their principles, values (or lack thereof), and political philosophy.

We should also stop calling Democrats liberals; they are not. True classical liberalism is that of its founder, John Locke, and can be found in his Second Treatise of Government, circa 1689. It was Locke whom Thomas Jefferson studied to frame our Declaration of Independence based on Locke’s Natural Rights Theory. It affirms that it is only natural that individual rights derive from the Judeo-Christian faith heritage of the Creator God—life, liberty, and property. Sadly, we have fallen under the toxic spell of leftists believing that they decide who will live, when you will die, determine your freedoms, and, as Cea Weaver has proclaimed, must redefine the essence of property ownership, which is, after all, a weapon of white supremacy.

And if one doesn’t believe me, well, take the words of Obama and Mamdani to heart.
