Colin Powell: I Have 'No Problem' With Gay Marriage
Newsmax ^ | 5/24/12

Posted on 05/27/2012 3:53:22 PM PDT by SoFloFreeper

General Colin Powell said on Wednesday that he supports gay marriage, representing a turning point for the former secretary of state and chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

"I have no problem with it," Powell told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer in an interview. "In terms of the legal matter of creating a contract between two people that's called marriage, and allowing them to live together with the protection of law, it seems to me is the way we should be moving in this country. And so I support the president's decision."

If it’s good enough for Obama, its good enough for Powell.

Don’t forget affirmative action. The Peter Principle is doubled for blacks.

Its clear that Colin Powell would endorse anything that Obama recommends.

Just eliminate government recognition of marriage and be done with it.

Exactly:

Powell has always been a major suck-butt . It made him a General.

If Obama likes gay marriage, of course Powell likes it too.

Maybe he will get Panetta’s job if he can get Obama elected again.

Most (if not all) the respect I once had for Powell is gone.

GONE...GONE...GONE!

Colin the traitor will support everything the Messia ‘post racial’ POTUS say as the word of God.

Even if it’s silly and a non sense.

The “good” General forget that mariage is a specific contract founding a family....giving birth to and educating children .....
Poor Mr Powel with his pathetic Messia

Homosexual relationships are tolerated and condoned now, where once they were not, but now that isn’t enough.
Now Powell and other liberals, and libertarians—and the GOPee—want us to ratify and support homosexual unions—they ask for general acceptance (of the farce) of two men together as a couple (or two women) with one being the `husband’ and the other the `wife.’
People of the same sex do not `marry.’ It stands logic on its head. And this isn’t just Powell. This is the position of the Republican party, with Romney leading.

Colin Powell, another tool for the Marxist takeover of America and the crushing of freedom for the individual.

We know LIBERALS don't have a problem with it! Wonder what makes Powell think anyone cares his view on anything.

Only the liberal/socialist ones. Conservatives are exempt and could care less.
