He never disappoints.

(The Hill) — The U.S. safety net is the unfortunate result of liberals who believe people are selfish robots, Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) argued Friday.

West delivered a forceful rebuke of both Democrats and government programs to help the needy as he addressed activists at the Conservative Political Action Conference.

“It is the liberal philosophy not the conservative one that views humans as selfish automatons,” West said.

“Liberals worry that what’s best for the individual might not be better for the public at large,” said the Florida congressman. “But that philosophy assumes something vicious about each and every one us. It assumes we only care about ourselves.”

“For far too long we’ve allowed the other side to paint us as racist, as sexist, inhumane war mongers well today as a conservative black Republican and former solider, I’m here to set that record straight,” West said.

He told activists that when conservatives object to expanded entitlements and redistribution of wealth, they are accused of having no compassion.

“Of course we have compassion. We just don’t believe the safety net should be used as a hammock,” he said to boisterous applause.

“We must not allow the liberals to move us away from the conservative values of the American past which sustain our present and shall secure our future,” West said. “As for me and my family, we will serve God, we will serve this constitutional republic, we will serve America.”
