You’ve probably seen the ubiquitous Co-Exist bumper sticker that includes symbols of all the major religions. Right? Megan has one on her car. So does one of our neighbors. I’ve always thought it was one of the better bumper stickers because it doesn’t attack anyone.<\/p>\n

But Florida Rep. Allen West has other ideas. It seems that West,\u00a0who happens to represent the district where we live,\u00a0thinks co-existing is bad news.<\/p>\n

Take a look at what he says about the sticker. What’s particularly jarring is that West is black and co-existing is what blacks have been trying to do in this country for 300 years. Shame on Allen West. He should know better.<\/p>\n

Here he is in his own words:<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause as I was driving up here today, I saw that bumper sticker that absolutely incenses me. It\u2019s not the Obama bumper sticker. But it\u2019s the bumper sticker that says, ‘Co-exist.’ And it has all the little religious symbols on it. And the reason why I get upset, and every time I see one of those bumper stickers, I look at the person inside that is driving. Because that person represents something that would give away our country. Would give away who we are, our rights and freedoms and liberties because they are afraid to stand up and confront that which is the antithesis, anathema of who we are. The liberties that we want to enjoy.”<\/p>\n

So apparently, according to West, in order to enjoy our freedom and liberty, we need to repress those who are different from us. What a guy. I’m voting against him…again in 2012.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
