The rudderless, racist affirmative action bureaucrat just going along with (seemingly) inevitable cultural tide.

All in the interest of future easy, vastly overpaid government work.

Powell is so stupid—sure—sodomy is just as American as apple pie.

Were you in Afghanistan for too long, Mr Powell? That is an Afghani worldview! And you know about their harem of boys????? Shame on you!!!! You can honestly explain to your little boys that “sodomy is good” and think it is healthy for children to grow up thinking such dysfunctional, sexist, narcissistic behavior is normal??? Such an artificial environment which forces such an unnatural, sick, selfish ideology on a young child and denies them their biological mother of father? That is evil and child abuse.

Looks like you crossed over to the irrational Wiccan “religion”.

This from the Republican who threw his support to the black jesus - would you expect anything less? He walks in lock-step with his messiah.

I watched Powell last night on Fox. Sorry, he has gone full over. He is no conservative in my book...at all.

Making excuses for Obama, outright slanting the facts and record. Defending his support for Obama.

Indicating that the only way in politics to come forward and get anything done is to compromise and that our founders intended it that way.

What hogwash and waht a bastardization of our system.

I wanted to ask him how well they ended up compromising with the King and his troops.

There comes a point where the compromise involves fundamental principle that it has to be impossible if you want to remain free and if you want to remain moral. We are long past that point.

Compromise is possible with competing politics on things like when to pick up my garbage at the curb or some such...but not ever on fundamental principle.

Powell was never more than a token.

An errand boy for George Bush.

Made his mark by lying about the My Lai Massacre.

Moved up as an affirmative action officer in the military.

Powell always looked a little lite in the loafers... now, we know for sure.

He’s a pro-abortion Episcopalian. Why would anybody be surprised by this? And exactly why were some conservatives getting all excited about the possibility of a Powell presidency 16 years ago? I didn’t like him even then.

Read this and remember everything else that Powell has done over the past 6 or 7 years. Then remember that in 1996, the GOP nomination for president was his for the taking if he had wanted it. Scary.

from Wikipedia :
Upon graduation, he received a commission as an Army second lieutenant.[12] He was a professional soldier for 35 years, holding a variety of command and staff positions and rising to the rank of General.[13] Powell was a captain during the Vietnam War, serving as a South Vietnamese Army adviser from 1962 to 1963. While on patrol in a Viet Cong-held area, he was wounded by stepping on a punji stake.[14] He returned to Vietnam as a major in 1968, serving in the Americal Division (23rd Infantry Division), then as assistant chief of staff of operations for the Americal Division. He was charged with investigating a detailed letter by Tom Glen (a soldier from the 11th Light Infantry Brigade), which backed up rumored allegations of the My Lai Massacre. Powell wrote: “In direct refutation of this portrayal is the fact that relations between American soldiers and the Vietnamese people are excellent.” Later, Powell’s assessment would be described as whitewashing the news of the massacre, and questions would continue to remain undisclosed to the public. In May 2004 Powell said to Larry King, “I mean, I was in a unit that was responsible for My Lai. I got there after My Lai happened. So, in war, these sorts of horrible things happen every now and again, but they are still to be deplored.”[15]

Like many Vietnam vets I know today , who are totally left wing and against this or any war ...could it be because , they like troops of today never got to hear the word VICTORY! from their people and their commander and chief ? I think as long as America is dumb enough to elect lawyers to lead us , and our troops , and not warriors , we will end up with f-ed up people like the Jamaican immigrant here , ultimately NOT standing by the real America and the American way of life . We need to be careful whom we vaunt into military and political leadership positions . And who we then give the soapbox over to .
Where are the primetime interviews with Gen. James Conway ( ret.) ? hmmm ?

First of all, I don’t believe he knows many gay couples in stable relationships. Second, so what? It has nothing to do with the debate.

I sure am happy not to be Black, and therefore be free to have thoughts at odds with Obama.
