What a disgraceful little man he turned out to be
There are no more divisive words than to tell the overpaid, career politicians in Washington that we have been Taxed Enough Already.
Rush will have a field day with the titular head of the pubbies today.
Powell’s definition of ‘divisiveness’ is as follows. Divisiveness is the expression of any views that differ from those of Powell. If only people would just agree with eveerything Powell says then there would be peace and harmony.

I watched the entire episode, and later read the text to make sure what I saw. Frankly, he poses this idea that slavery is perfectly ok, if you are creating a country and opposing some British king. I had some trouble with this concept, and I suspect most folks would have trouble.
So I went back to history, and what is really known. Most people (likely to be eighty percent) of the New England colonies...were opposed to slavery in any fashion. When they sent their representatives to organize the Declaration of Independence...they likely had the idea that this would be worked out. It wasn’t. Like the dimwits we have in office today....everyone just stood up and said they’d overlook slavery and just keep going.
Naturally...1860 comes around, and this Tea Party-like mentality comes up in the New England States again (and the Ohio Valley states), and this stand is finally mounted to take down slavery. We can make the case that Lincoln took advantage of this Tea Party-like mentality, and did what finally had to be done. Right was established over wrong.
I respect the General, and regard him as an intelligent individual. But on this case....he decided that the Tea Party is hindering the operation of the government. I suspect if his wife had ran up a $100k credit card bill...the general would kindly ask her to hand over the cards and they’d live tight for a while....in order to pay off the credit card mess and get back to stability. He kind of refuses to recognize the same issue with the federal government. So, he’s part of the problem....rather than part of the solution.
I keep thinking there must be some sort of alien liberalism mind control transmitter(s) across America.
once an asshole always an asshole...
My brother is a retired Sgt. Major U.S. Army. He wrote an email to us about Powell in 2008 and said the following:
“HI;
THIS ARTICLE REFLECTS MY OWN THINKING ON COLIN POWELL!
HE WAS A PHONY ( POLITICIAN ) GENERAL FROM DAY ONE AND NEVER REALLY EVEN SAW ANY COMBAT IN HIS WHOLE CAREER.
HE SERVED AS AN ADVISOR TO A SMALL VIETNAMESE ARMY UNIT AS A JUNIOR OFFICER BEFORE THE WAR REALLY STARTED IN VIETNAM AND THAT WAS IT!
HE ONLY SERVED THERE A FEW MONTHS AND WENT BACK TO THE STATES BECAUSE OF A MINOR SKIN INFECTION HE GOT WHILE THERE ( SUPPOSEDLY FROM BEING INJURED BY A VIET CONG BOOBY TRAP MADE OUT OF SHARP BAMBOO STICKS ).
POWELL AND HIS DEPUTY SPENT MOST OF THEIR DAYS IN THE STATE DEPT. UNDERMINING GEORGE BUSH’S FOREIGN POLICY INSTEAD OF BEING A LOYAL CABINET MEMBER, AND THAT IS WHY HE WAS FORCED OUT!!!
HE IS A SNAKE OF THE HIGHEST ORDER AND IS OBVIOUSLY LOOKING FOR A NEW POSITION IN THE OBAMA PRESIDENCY SO HE CAN REHABILITATE HIS REPUTATION.
LIKE BIDEN, HE HAS BEEN WRONG ON MOST OF THE MAJOR ISSUES OF THE DAY; INCLUDING NOT SUPPORTING GOING INTO KUWAIT IN DESERT STORM, EVEN THOUGH HE FOUND HIMSELF HAVING TO DO SO AS THE CHAIRMEN OF THE JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF, ONCE THE DECISION WAS MADE.
HIS SUPPORT OF OBAMA IS NOTHING MORE THAN ABOUT RACE, PERIOD!!!!!”
Attention Mr. Powell... the Divisive TONE is the TEA PARTY Individuals doing what we SENT THEM TO DC TO DO ...
PROTECT US FROM FUHRER OBAMA!!!
These statements say all that is needed to be said about colin powell.
Delusional drooling fool.
Powell always blames Whitey.
I really need to share with him directly how I feel about his disgusting ignorance, and arrogance, about people who care about this great country of our.
Please, anything, anyway, to contact General Powell!
Who knows? Collin Powell may we have facilitated the build of strength of terrorist cells in the ME and may have contributed to the devastating 9/11 attacks by his actions.
I will always believe it to be so.
I once admired Powell.. that went out the window when he sold out his country for some “media” love with his endorsement of Obama... a shameful act of picking race over all else. And he continues his pathetic backstabbing of all things American today.
Piss off, traitor.
LLS
Logic isn’t one of his tools.
Colin should look to his black president if he wants to talk “divisive tone”.
The RinoCracy gets their panties in a wad whenever the threat of Constitutional Government is raised.....
