Congressman West's unemployed brother could not be more opposite. He seems a genuinely nice man.
He was just on in a clip from the CBC's job fair in Atlanta. After he suggested to his brother he could use some help finding a job. West sent him to Maxine Waters and told him to ask her for help. His suggestion was peppered with quips about plantations.

2. Ah, more of that family values hypocrisy from a right winger. Who didn't see that coming?

If nothing else, you'd think he could give him a job working at his district office in Florida.
These Republicans make me sick.
Maybe 0bama could fly his brother to the states, appoint him czar over something, and get him out of his broke down hut, these democrats make me sick.

5. Yes, he seemed like a very nice man. Wonder why a man who owns
a pizza chain couldn't hire his own brother when he needed help? You would think he could make a job somewhere.
Herman Cain owns the pizza joint, not Congressman West, I guess all black people look alike to you, you racist.

Give him a job ?
Only if the job is available and he is qualified to function in that role ; and is better than the other applicants.
Giving someone a job solely because they're a family member and have done nothing to deserve it or demonstrate they're capable in the role is something the left does.

Maybe the whole family has helped the loser many times and they're damned sick of it.

If he did, this post would be about how Congressman West uses unfair labor tactics by hiring his own family over more qualified applicants.

Something just occurred to me.
Doesn't Obama have a half-brother (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/barackobama/2590614/Barack-Obamas-lost-brother-found-in-Kenya.html) some place.

He also has a relative that is living in public housing in Boston and I do believe is here without a valid visa.here is the link (http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=d945tee01)

That's my guess too.

:lmao: :rotf: :rofl: Too freakin funny!!
P.S. Nobody over there caught it. It was followed by a complete non-sequitor by nadin.

FRANK, get into the real world, we, anyone can only do so much for a family member and when they show no gratitude or loyalty to the family member that may have put their reputation on the line to help them, then WHAT???
We cannot choose our relatives or family but we can choose our friends. When we marry we choose the spouse but never give a thought of the family she/he has tagging along on their back side.
Obama has half brothers and sisters that lord knows may dislike him, jealous of him and who knows what they have done to him in the past. Why invite an enemy into a camp that dislikes you???
Obama has an Aunt of some kind living in DC, is she the sister of his fathers 1,2,3 wives, who knows, would you support some strange woman that was the sister of one of your fathers wives that you never met???
The traditions of Kenya are very different from our own, --A second wife may be called Aunt by the children of the first wife, the mothers of the all the wives may be called grandmother.
Different world FRANK, the half brothers and sisters may not even know each other, so one child in the family makes it big time.
What is their responsibility to family they never met or those they met that were nasty to them???
This is like asking in today's world what is the responsibility of a man to his fathers 2-3 wife's mother. What is his responsibility to the children his father had with woman not his Mother????
Different world, different set up here. Were everyone raised together like the polygamous LDS that is different. OR is it???
A man shall leave his family and take a wife----from the Bible. Seems to me this means the man and woman now have to place their own concerns and those of their children over all in the marriage, if they wish to help out others in either family's ,they should do so with out in any way taking anything from the family unite.---If they cannot do so with putting stress on their family, they should not do so.
Interesting Frank how life never seems to change in some corners of life.

Oh my, vesta, dear, madam.
It appears you totally misunderstood my nuances.
And I thought only the sparkling husband dude did that.
By the way, Gina's looking for your enlightenment over here:

Totally unrelated material in regards to Coach's original comment, is snipped.
Vesta, that's when you say, "NO".
Quite simple, actually.

Uh, we all do it to one extent or another. Blood's thicker than water.

8. Uh . . . he's the retired military officer. Herman Cain is the pizza guy
Stinky caught it.

Stinky caught it.
Only because my pal Vinnie saw it here first; it's not a mistake Vinnie would've caught on his own.

I was wondering if he saw me mention it and had to go correct the other moon bat.

Probably.
You were the one who first pointed it out, and my good pal Vinnie was hanging around here when you first posted the thread.

Funny thing is, he hangs around here and I never seem to get a mention in his cryptic rants about us. :-)

Obama couldn't be more opposite of his brother, who lives in a shack while Obama goes gallivanting around the world in first class, hell, WAY above first class.
As for West, he spent his entire life in service to the nation, and no DUmbasses, not service as in a pampered ****ing politician's life, and his brother is probably one that thinks people owe him something.
YOU idiots keep his brother; we'll keep the hero.

...and if I were President, I'd give West the CMH. There is nothing that says, "Above and beyond" like putting your career on the line for your troops' safety. He knew what he was getting into and he did it anyway. His character was revealed to me that day and I can guarantee you that if a grenade was lobbed into the tent, and landed closest to him...and he knew it was going to go off, he'd be the first to jump on it. LTC West is an honorable man that should have been leapfrogged past Colonel to general officer.

The man has balls. He didn't try to weasel out of getting in trouble or blame anyone else, and he said he would do it again to save his men.

Question for you, Reb . . . would you tout Rep. West for SecDef in a future Republican administration?

First, does this not fully define a DUche's life belief?
Second, it demonstrates how leftists and, more specifically, Dummys think that "they all look alike." As with most self aggrandizing, those that keep saying how they are not racists, usually are.

As I thought, and I would definitely agree with you.

What kind of brother would expect his family to just provide a job...and then go public with the reply when it was "No?" I have 2 brothers, and neither one would ever just expect a family member to provide for them, nor go crying for public attention if it was withheld. In my opinion, the OP says far more about the lack of character in Congressman West's brother than it says about Congressman West.

Most people would move heaven and earth to help a sibling - the first time, and probably the second, but somewhere you have to draw the line.
I wonder if this unemployed brother has perhaps been helped before and betrayed the trust.
If you use your influence to get someone a job, and he turns out to be a drunk, or a thief, or just a typical lazy democrat,
it reflects on your judgement. For self-preservation you have to pull the plug.
Sending someone to Maxine Waters sounds like plug pulling.

A guy worked for me that looked the part of your typical DUmmie doper. He had begun work with me as a second job years ago. He got laid off from his other job and I became his sole employer for a few years. His wife never held a job and he was raising 2 kids. I encouraged him to apply for a job at a new place that was opening in our area. He was reluctant to apply because he didn't meet the requirements, education/etc. that he didn't have. A few minutes before they were supposed to interview him for a job, a lady called and was asking me about him. I told her the truth that he was still going to be working for me during the week and that he had for 25 years worked 2 jobs. She sounded hesitant to hire him but I told her, "Hire him. He will make you a good worker. There's just one thing, he doesn't like to bothered with a bunch of BS. Just tell him what to do and leave him alone."
They hired him and a couple of months later the lady called one night and asked if I knew of any more like him. She wanted to hire anyone I'd recommend. I didn't know any more that were as willing to work as he was. He's been there 15+ years now and has moved up in the company despite his lack of "formal" education.
I've gone out on a limb for someone a couple of times and then they sawed it off behind me....maybe Col, Wests' brother has sawed the limb off a few times while the Col. was on it.
