So much hate. You don’t have the decency to honor the dead.

FRiend you haven’t seen what I’ve seen. I’ve worked in nursing homes. I’ve seen 90+ year old women knock the snot out of nurses 70 years or more younger than them.

So Powell sides with the Democrats and lies about the Republicans being racists, and I am the one full of hate?

Someone doesn't belong here, and its not me.

I did it for 18 years before God snapped me out of it.

>>So much hate. You don’t have the decency to honor the dead.

So when a dishonorable person dies, they are suddenly deserving of honor?

Not from me.

Powell violated the Patton rule by taking the jabs:

“You are not supposed to die for Big Pharma. You are supposed to get the other guy to die for Big Pharma.”

I have always hated the phony accolades to dead folks who caused great harm to others.

We need to distinguish between good and evil, or we are enabling evil.

Good analogy! He was duped by the NWO and has paid the price for his stupidity.

It was reported that he was undergoing treatment for multiple myeloma. If that’s not a co-morbidity, I don’t know what is.

The vaxx pushers demand that everybody get the vaxx.

They could not care less about “co-morbidities”.

My “co-morbidity” is that I am alive.

Good description here.

His life and public career gives some insight to the forces that can tug at people, and how a person reacts can reveal their personal priorities. It appears that Powell was willing to change his core beliefs when he become a well-known public figure.

Everything we need to know in one sentence being ignored by everyone: “but he had previously been diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer that impacts the body’s ability to fight infections.”

This sure is:
“but he had previously been diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer that impacts the body’s ability to fight infections.”

Clinton said something very intelligent at Nixon’s funeral -that you have to judge someone by the entire life they led, not just the parts where they went astray. Colin Powell was an advisor with the ARVN in Vietnam in 1962, did several other tours there, was shot down in a helicopter. He also served as Reagan’s National Security Advisor for three years, and was CJCS. Had he retired from politics in 2000, I would have said he had an almost unvarnished record. But he didn’t and I have real problems with his advocacy of the Second Iraq War (which he initially opposed) and his turning on the Republican Party as strongly as did a weasel like William Kristol. So the first 3/4 of his career - good; the last 1/4 - awful.

So he was a self serving opportunist?
