No matter how wrong-headed Colin Powell turned out to be, he was once held up as something of a paragon, one of the “first of” in several ways. There has always been a progressive streak in a lot of these “compassionate” RINOs, going back to Teddy Roosevelt and his “Bull Moose” party, and perhaps even much further. What few Republicans remained in elective office in the years of the New Deal and FDR, were almost all of the “progressive” variety, and they voted almost as enthusiastically for the whole package advocated by the FDR “brain trust” as the Southern Democrats.

Strange bedfellows, even back then.

Good reply.

I’m sorry for his death. No huge skin off my nose, for sure, but it’s not like he was Hitler. He was partially on our side.
