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...
Class of 98 paleocon here. You didn't get flame from me. I never cared for this phoney.
He's a great example of the 'content of character vs color of skin' relationship. Alot of Freepers were anxious for a person of color they could support, for whatever reason. Its a commendable reaction, I guess.
But Bowell provides us with a perfect example of why we conservatives, unlike our counterparts, need to remain focused on 'content of character'.
I discovered in 1992 who Powell really was. It was after Buchannan’s convention speech, that predicted our current situation regarding illegal aliens. Michael Powell watched the speech with his dad (Colon) and after opined upon the “racist” tone. I knew then those thoughts came from Colon, and he was a closet clintonoid posturing as a Republican.
Love your post :-)
You were right then and you still are right.
