Ever since Powell was in George H Bush's administration as his Secretary of Defense, I didn't like him. I guess the whole thought that he was the one who talked Bush out of going all the way to Baghdad in the first Gulf War really rubbed me the wrong way.

Then when there was talk about him being the best candidate in 2000 to run I was wondering what qualified him to make all these Republicans like him. Since I learned the difference between beltway Republicans and fly-over-country Republicans.

Then all my suspicions about him were confirmed in 2008 when he endorsed Obama. When he endorsed him again for 2012, i didn't even bat an eyelash because i knew who he was. So when saw these I had to write something up about him.

I guess the whole world makes sense once again, and I can continue trusting my gut instinct that I know comes from God. He always ties my stomach in knots about certain individuals, and I don't have a reason until some time later, but in time God always pulls the mask off those he tells me to stay clear from, and Colin Powell has always been one of those individuals.

Check out Colin Powell hanging with Calypso Louie in Jamaica during their 50 Independence Day celebration. I guess his endorsing Obama in "08" and now in 2012 makes perfect sense now.

I lost all respect for Colin Powell's when he deserted the men and women in our military by endorsing Obama in 2008 and again in 2012. Seeing him socialize with the racist Farrakhan removes all doubt that he has aligned himself with the Marxist policies of Obama and the democratic party.

How dare Mr Wilkerson claim the Republican party is full of people who vote for the color of ones skin.

Wilkerson seems to be amazingly ignorant.

The Klu Klux Klan was & is the Terrorist wing of the Democrat Party.

The Republican Party freed the slaves from the Democrats.

OBTW: Martin Luther King was a Republican & murdered by the Democrats.

I had the same feeling about Powell when Bush 41 appointed him head of the Joint Chiefs in 1989. I was in Texas at the time visiting my aunt and I turned to her and my mother saying, “well, he’s an ‘affirmative action appointee.’” They both agreed. I was 23 then, half a lifetime ago for me. B-) Still like you, I get gut feelings about some people who I would not really trust.

Where is the discussion of Colin’s involvement in the Mai Lai Massacre in Vietnam? My understanding is Colin was in the chain of command of Lt. Kelley, who was convicted for the crime.

Come on folks. This was Powell all along and everyone knows it. He has been a mediocrity his entire life, was passed along the affirmative action “system” much as Obama was, put on a media pedestal, just like Farrakhan, simply because he was black, and somehow you expect a different outcome?

Faux accomplishment is the hallmark of affirmative action, and it always has been and always will be.

Powell just faked it differently than Obama and Farrakhan, but happily took credit for that which he had no claim.

Just different manifestations of a perverse big government.

Am I wrong but didn’t Powell, more than almost anyone, have a major influence, in a negative, way on the outcome of both Gulf wars.

Do you know what Powell’s comment was after the racist and ignorant jury found OJ not guilty? Answer: It shows the system works.
