Obamacized GOP

Principle: Former Secretary of State Colin Powell wants his party stripped of the Reaganite values that won it the presidency for 20 of the last 28 years. Meet the "Grand Obama Party."

For many years it has been accepted that Gen. Colin Powell — who became a national icon thanks to appointments by President Ronald Reagan and both President Bushes — was more moderate than many of his colleagues.

What was not known until lately is how much animus he has for the governing philosophy of those who gave him the opportunity to achieve fame and millions in book sales.

In a Sunday CNN interview, Powell charged that Republicans have been "shouting at the world and at the country." They "use polarization for political advantage," listen to talk radio hosts who "seem to appeal to our lesser instincts rather than our better instincts," and aren't looking into the "hearts and minds" of blacks, Hispanics and Asians.

Because of all these sins Republicans lost big this year and "the party has to take a hard look at itself," Powell said in the interview. "There is nothing wrong with being conservative," according to the retired four-star general, but "in another 20 years, the majority in this country will be the minority."

We have a little group called U.S. Defense-American Victory. Over the years members of our group have published some things on various conservative web sites and also appeared on conservative talk radio. See if this link works for an article that three of us posted here. We did not think John McCain the strongest candidate, particularly since some in our group have known him all his life and knew his father, but we do believe he would have been better overall than what we now are going to get.
