“”Gov. Palin, to some extent, pushed the party more to the right, and I think she had something of a polarizing effect when she talked about how small town values are good. Well, most of us don’t live in small towns. And I was raised in the South Bronx, and there’s nothing wrong with my value system from the South Bronx.”

It shows, Powell, it shows.

We are tired of being told we must lie like city-slicker socialists by the likes of Powell.

Arrogant POS.

I love delicious irony.

Four years ago, I expressed the truth about Colon Bowell that every serving soldier knowns.

I was flamed off FR for being a racist and a bigot.

And now, what happens? The hard-core rock-ribbed paleocon Class-of-'98 FReepers are parroting me.

Welcome to...

I spent 4 years in South Central Bronx attending Fordham College as a Poly Sci major taught by a cadre of marxist kooks. So I can say that Gen. Powell is a skell, the Bronx is a s#*t hole and my degree is not worth used toilet paper. The Bronx, Powell and Fordham can all burn in hell. Die scum!

There’s some small towns with pretty bad values, too. Greenville, TX, Kellyville, OK, and Quinlan, TX spring to mind.

Powell endorsed the guy who said this: “And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”

We may be “fly-over country” to Powell but the cities are not the only part of the US that deserve representation without such racist prejudices by the likes of Obama and Powell. This “redneck” isn’t looking for a socialist handout from black racists.

South Bronx values

Small town values

He is also fine with the Assault Weapons Ban. He draws the line at a ‘total ban’ of all firearms. Why people think this guy should be in charge is beyond me.

I was raised in the Bronx and guess what....... values are values where ever you live. You either have them or you don’t. Powell seems to have lost his and that’s a damn shame.

That is because small town values mean watching out for one another, helping out your neighbor and not expecting something in return, keeping your word, being self-sufficient, shooting straight, riding well, and telling the truth. Simply put, our values are based upon the “WE” ...

Most people in the cities have abandoned the “WE” concept and replaced it with the “ME” concept: ME-ME-ME-ME, I-I-I-I-I, 24/7.

Washington inabitants are the worst.

What political constituency now has a strangle-hold on our cities? Liberal socialist trash. This explains why, when a disaster strikes, you can safely bet city dwellers will steal from their own mothers, hoard whatever they can for themselves, and kill anyone that stands between them and a plasma-screen television... even though electricity is non-existant. The recent Thanksgiving Walmart fiasco is a perfect example of city mentality: moral deviants.

I have always regarded Powell as primarily a poster-General. Perhaps, and it would not be entirely his fault, he was used by politicians as a token. However, his inability to effectively counter the criticisms from the Left, in the wake of his tepid UN appearance on the justification for invading Iraq, led me to think that his heart just wasn't in his duties.

The nicest thing I can state as to General Powell would be something to the effect that he, IMHO, sure didn't measure up to the likes of Chappie James.

I guess the traitorous, Afro-bigot race hustler never read Bonfire of the Vanities [just to get a feel for his old home town is really like], and in any event he has been kissing butt among the corrupt power elites for so long he hasn't a clue about values anywhere. His hatred of Real Americans is breathtaking and obscene - they have been paying his wages ever since 1958. Wounded in Viet Nam, eh ? He stepped on a fricking punji stick! Shades of John Murtha, another notorious REMF.

Oh, for pity’s sake...I’ve lived in a large city, and a small city, and various small towns. If there is a values contest here, there is just no comparison. I’ll take small-town, care for your neighbor, decent Christian values over that me-first rat race, thank you!

Maybe this is a good reason why Colin Powell’s Value System is so Screwed UP! COLIN endorsed a Street Thug Who Promised to Trash Our Military, believes Our Constitution is Fatally Flawed and Fomdles His Crotch When Our National Anthem is Played! Why did Colin Powell endorse ZERO HUSSEIN While ZERO in addition committed TREASON by Aiding and Abbeting The Enemy by Declaring the War Lost and Promising to Quit and Declare olin Powell endorsed ZERO HUSSEIN OBAMA FOR ONLY ONE REASON! ZERO IS BLACK!*

*ZERO EVEN LIES ABOUT BEING BLACK!
