This week John Sununu figured it was the former, saying the only reason "Republican" Colin Powell is supporting Obama for reelection is because both men are black. Sununu later backtracked on his comment, but his original epidemeric epiphany was correct: Colin Powell loves his hide more than he loves his pride, is crazy about his skin more than the state were in. Now Colin Powell is saying "my party is full of racists." He's right. The Democrat Party is his party, and it is indeed full of racists....and hypocrites. He should know, he's one of them.
Colin Powell is supporting Obama's reelection because he is a fellow black, and with the great majority (96%) of blacks supporting Obama for the same reason, Powell feels he must go along. If Powell does anything less, he will be a pariah to friends and family, most of whom belong to the Black Party first, the Democrat Party second, and the American nation dead last.
Not all blacks support Obama, and we are seeing a growing number of blacks who think with their brains rather than their epidermis. I have been delighted to see black conservatives on Twitter, denouncing Obama and supporting Romney, sounding very much like any other conservative. These people are mature adults with real principles and authentic, independent thought. I welcome them to our movement, and hope their numbers grow.
Unfortunately, and obviously, the race-baiting faux Republican Colin Powell isn't one of them.
Four years ago, Colin Powell made a string of accusations against the Republican Party, along with his recommendations on how to become liberals instead of conservatives. His comments were asinine then, and are asinine now. I rebutted him in an article titled Colin Powell, Shut the Hell Up. Do read it, as it illustrates quite well the lame-assed thinking of this liberal phony.
I've lost all respect for Colin Powell.
ReplyDeleteI did watch his endorsement live on CBS Morning News. How appropriate that Powell chose the BS network for his announcement!

ReplyDeleteAs _you_ brought this up.
Remember when former GOP Secretary of State, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and US Ambassador to UN, Colin Powell said he'd be voting for President Obama only because he's black?
.
No? Me neither.
.
"... so-called "Republican" Colin Powell, who is black, endorsed Barack Obama for reelection. Colin Powell, it seems, is enamored of ebony epidermis, crazy for colored cuticle." Really???

"Colin Powell is supporting Obama's reelection because he is a fellow black, and with the great majority of blacks supporting Obama for the same reason, Powell feels he must go along. If Powell does anything less, he will be a pariah to friends and family, most of whom belong to the Black Party first, the Democrat Party second, and the American nation dead last."
By your line of "reasoning" ...
Are _you_ voting for OMitt because _you_ belong to the white party first, the RepublicanT Party second and the American nation dead last?
Why is it, that one is not at all surprised to read this here?

Ema, truth is truth, rather you like it or not. No, I am not motivated by skin color the way many (probably most) blacks are. I supported Herb Cain. I support Alan West. Not because they are black, but because they are patriots who understand things that Democrats do not: how to build an economy; how to keep America safe. Colin Powell has no good reason to vote for Obama, other than their shared skin color, which as we all know, is very, very important to most black people.

ReplyDelete"... we all know, is very, very important to most black people."
What do _you_ know of being black? Other than _your_ opinion, what do _you_ know 'many (probably most) blacks' believe, think, or do?

The records on voting trends tell me that being black is the most important attribute for the majority of black voters. They are the most racially conscious group in America and the most racially-centered. One would have to be willfully blind not to see this.
ReplyDeleteYes, Powell is someone who has lost all of my respect.
