No one. NO ONE in their right mind can respect such a venal immoral grifting little person.

One thing a true general should have in their bag of tricks is the ability to quickly and accurately sniff out losers.

He has therefore introduced great doubt about the decision to make him a military keader.

wrote Powell, who also referred to the business mogul as a “know nothing” and “national disgrace.”

Powell voted for that toilet bowl floater in the WH right now.

Powell is an affirmative action lightweight. And, no, it doesn’t matter to me that he was in the military.

Frankly, I’m tired of hearing about DC’s favorite black guy.

He’s been sitting on the fence so long he has splinters penetrating his L-5 vertebrae. His head has been swollen by a constantly fawning press that thinks his fear of staking out a position equates to courage.

I don’t care what political party he claims. I don’t care whom he endorses. If he’s registered in DC his vote is symbolic. If he’s registered in MD or VA his vote is one among tens of millions. I have yet to meet the person, black or white, left or right, who cares what Colin Powell says about politics.

For some reason the media find his mealy mouthed platitudes insightful and important.

Powell’s comments about the Bohemian Grove from less than 2 months ago makes my blood boil....

Powell is part of the psychopathic sodomite Left (Marxists) who are trying to wipe the Christian Worldview off the face of the world so Reason and Logic can never exist and Evil is Good and Up is Down and Boys are Girls. All individualism has to be destroyed for the collective to work...everyone is interchangeable-—all programmed exactly the same from birth (Common Core/TV/Movies so no individualism or creativity outside the allowed programming— what-so-ever-—NONE!)

He is just one of the Useful idiots who will be one of the first to be killed once they get total control over the USA and all private property and destroy the dollar, as they flood in bunches of tribal minded people—who can’t “think” in abstract terms-—ignorant drones for the state system to completely control from cradle to grave.

All for the NWO where non-thinking “happy” slaves/lemmings will be herded into regions for complete control and elimination of the Classical Christian Mind which created the Age of Reason, true Justice systems and Modern Science. Can’t have Rule of Law (Higher Law) when you want Rule of Man—totalitarianism.

His comments on Benghazi were so amateurish that any delusions I had of him as a subtle thinker came to an abrupt end.

This whole Colon Bowel email situation seems quite contrived.

Powell does have knowledge.

He is also an elitist that will never break the brotherhood.

Colin is THE Poster Boy for people who don’t know who they are or what they stand for. This guy’s as pathological as B-HO and even worse, as he simply wants to “be liked” and, in the process, no one ultimately does.

Colon Bowell is such a goose. He actually went to the UN ( GET OUT) and said that Iraq had “mobile labs” making chemical weapons” That was a lie. They had weather balloons. This lie actually lead to the invasion of Iraq on false pretenses and the needless deaths of 5000 American’s finest soldiers and 38,000 soldiers wounded and maimed. over 300,000 Iraqi civilians were killed — all for “WMD” that never existed. Thank you Colon.Get lost.

"superior knowledge over the rest of the American populace"

Well, as one of the 'American Populace', I sure as hell would have been smarter than to have put in email the stuff that Powell did.

I can't believe I actually liked and respected this guy, when he first arrived on the national scene...

What REALLY STRUCK ME about these E-Mails was just HOW COZY Bowel was with the TOP DEMOCRATS.

How does that work? Is it ‘normal’ for a party leader to have such ‘close contact’ with the opposition party? It seems to me that Mr. Bowel was marching to another drummer.

Perhaps it’s time to CUT HIM LOOSE, so he can ‘identify’ with those he ‘identifies with’ anyway.
