Chairman Allen West's Monday Message for 5.24.21





















Republican, Democrat . . . Meaningless
Designations
Here in America, we have a two-party
political system. However, there is something changing in
America, and in Texas: this is no longer about two political
parties. The growing atmosphere in America today is about two
philosophies of governance, divergent principles, and values.
America was established upon a unique
fundamental belief, that the individual is sovereign over the
institution of government. The premise that our unalienable
rights do not emanate from man, meaning government, but rather
from our Creator God, the Supreme and Sovereign Guide. The
challenge we face today is whether we can right the balance
between the individual citizen and the institution of government.
And, ladies and gents, this has less to do with two political
parties, rather, it is about principles.
Yes, I am the Chairman of the Republican
Party of Texas. In that role, it is my duty and responsibility to
advocate for, and advance, the legislative priorities of the
grassroots constitutional conservatives of Texas in accordance
with their platform, as voted upon at the GOP state convention.
As I ponder these remaining days of this 87th Texas legislative
session, where the RPT priorities were clearly stated, one can
only be utterly disappointed. The progressive socialist left
targeted Texas with hundreds of millions of dollars but were
beaten back in 2020. The left achieved no electoral gains in the
Lone Star State. One would consider that a Texas legislature with
a majority of 83-67 in the State House and 18-13 in the Senate
would have no issue passing RPT legislative priorities. This is
in addition to having a Republican Governor and Lieutenant
Governor.
Again, disappointment.
Consider that our very own
Republican-controlled legislature killed legislation such as HB
1399, which would have protected Texas children from chemical and
physical castration. And, it appears, based upon an article in
the National File that Texas children may have been sold out for
$250K in campaign contributions. SB 1311 still has a chance to be
heard, but it has been due to the intense pressure from our
grassroots.
Speaking of our Texas children, legislation
supporting school choice was killed. And, it appears that the
Austin lobby class, hired by respective Independent School
Districts (ISDs) were the hitmen who ensured educational freedom
and liberty would be unavailable for our Texas children. This
lead to another RPT legislative priority, ending the practice of
taxpayer-funded lobbying, being killed.
We want to ensure our history is taught to
our children and is preserved for all of us, the good, bad, and
ugly. History remains for us to learn from, not revise, based
upon any particular ideological agenda. Hint, America was
established on July 4, 1776, not 1619. However, there will be no
legislation addressing monument protection from this
Republican-controlled legislature. Though it was not a
legislative priority, I applaud the Texas Senate for passing SB
2202 banning the Marxist Critical Race Theory (CRT)
indoctrination in our schools. The legislation must go back to
the Texas House as the leftists were able to water down HB 3979,
which also sought to ban CRT.
HB 1927, Constitutional Carry, is heading to
Governor Abbott's desk. We are still awaiting the result of a
very integral measure for the future of our State and
Constitutional Republic, Election Integrity. The legislation, SB
7, was a strong election integrity measure, but it was gutted,
substituted, and watered down in the Texas House by progressive
socialists. Election integrity is not about voter suppression.
The unconstitutional actions of the left in the 2020 election
cycle suppressed the votes of honest Americans, Texans.
Yes, we have a Heartbeat Bill, SB 8, that has
been passed and signed into law by Governor Abbott. However, the
RPT legislative priority was to end the practice of murdering
unborn babies in Texas . . .something that the people of Lubbock
were able to achieve.
When the left is in control we know what we
shall get, progressive socialism, Marxism, communism, statism,
Critical Race Theory, and anarchism. They are unafraid, and have
no shame, ruling over us and seeking to fundamentally change our
Republic, including instituting an open borders policy by
Executive Order. Yet, how can it be that in Texas, with a
Republican Governor, we cannot rectify the situation, which the
Constitution enumerates, and secure our own border? Shall we
follow the money in this case as well?
The flawed reasoning that one must vote for
Republicans or else allow a Democrat to win is no longer
acceptable. If we are to win an ideological battle, we need
individuals who have the courage and conviction to fight it. We
need Constitutional Conservatives to defeat progressive
socialists . . . not merely the presence of the letter R behind a
name. Committed individuals who believe in our Judeo-Christian
faith heritage, want strong families, support individual rights,
freedoms, and liberty, support equality of opportunity, not
outcomes, enact policies to build up our small businesses and the
free market economic system, and embrace service to our nation.
There are no more Democrats. They have
accepted and embraced such abject radicalism that they align
themselves with an Islamic terrorist organization called Hamas.
These leftists are delusional and deranged in their pursuit of
undermining and destroying our country. Don't believe me, then go
sit in a gas line or watch the steady flow of illegal immigrants
into our nation.
Moderate Republicans? Like ol' Buck West
would say, "the only thing in the middle of the road is
roadkill." Even in the Book of Revelation we are told that we are
either hot or cold; if we are lukewarm we will be spewed from
God's mouth. So, choose for yourselves today what principles,
values, and governing philosophy guides you.


I have made my choice, and hence unafraid to
write a missive such as this.
Steadfast and Loyal,

LTC Allen B. West (Ret.)
Chairman
Republican Party of Texas
