The Problem with Powell

I forgot how much I dislike and distrust Colon Powell until reading email after email, the one about Bohemian Grove took the cake. However, he seems to love his country club set and behind the scenes lovefests/gossip fests more than power these days. My money is still on Ms. Wesley Mooch (and her VJ), a younger powerluster very popular with the voters on the left and middle right now.

The thing with these emails is they are all so soundbite ready. This was all planned. Who writes in such perfectly thought out bumper sticker sentences? Back in the Bush administration he was the most reviled hated man in the progressive sphere. Now, just like McCain, a few bad words about a republican and he’s the most beloved. The ONLY place I have heard his emails about Hillary is here. All over the networks is simply his one or two attacks on Trump. And since the progressives believe him to be a “Magic Negro” beloved by conservatives he will take down Trump. But he’s just a duplicitous petty man who like free cocktails in fancy apartments.

I used to respect Colin Powell. Especially for his early military service - I was a US Army combat Infantryman.

I now realize he’s just another backstabbing, leftist, globalist moron.

Louis Farrakhan

Preaching directly from the Quran before a packed Baptist church, the Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan told his adoring audience that violent retaliation is the only way for American blacks to “rise up” and overthrow their white oppressors.

“I’m looking for ten thousand in the midst of the million. Ten thousand men who say, ‘Death is sweeter than continued life under tyranny,'” Farrakhan told the congregants at Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church in Miami in a speech that he posted on his Facebook page earlier this week.

He then launched into a poetic tirade against whites backed up with Quranic verse.

“Death is sweeter than to continue to live and bury our children, while white folks give the killer hamburgers.

“Death is sweeter, than watching us slaughter each other, to the joy of a 400-year-old enemy. Yes, death is sweeter.

“The Quran teaches persecution is worse than slaughter. Then it says, ‘Retaliation is prescribed in matters of the slain.’ Retaliation is a prescription from God, to calm the breast of those whose children have been slain.

“So if the federal government will not intercede in our affairs, then we must rise up and kill those who kill us. Stalk them and kill them and let them feel the pain of death that we are feeling.”

Excellent points, which this election season seems to be making us all realize & accept. Still not an easy pill to swallow for someone like me, a former head-in-the-sand GOPer.
