Harsh words.

Read what Powell said about the Tea Party. Read what Powell said about Conservatives. Powell is a creature of the State. Powell at his core is a Statist.

Our Republic was founded by men who cherished Life and Liberty. Powell, like all other leftists, has little respect for our Founders, our Constitution, and limited government.

Powell and others on the left are in the process of utterly destroying our Republic. If terrible times arrive in our future it will be because of the evil left.

Harsh words? Hardly. What the left is doing is destructive to all that is good.

Welcome to Free Republic and enjoy the conservation. It can get tough at times. But, it's all in good spirit. Have a good night.

Colin Powell says the Occupy Wall Street protests are “as American as apple pie,” and political leaders need to do more than just “scream” at the demonstrators.

“Demonstrating like this is as American as apple pie. We’ve been marching up and down and demonstrating throughout our history,” the former secretary of state said on CNN Thursday night.

So since Colon Powell feels so strongly in favor of the Occupy protesters, why doesn't he haul his liberal white/black ass right down to the street protests and set up his tent as an indication of his solidarity with the protesters? Druggies, hippies, homos, perverts, anarchists, socialists, homeless, felons, etc.... come'on Colon you liberal bastard, get on down there and show em what you're made.

In a hundred years he will not even be a footnote to history.

Depends on who's writing the history. If there's any justice, in 100 years he'll be known for his idiotic Pottery Barn Doctrine that directly resulted in a quarter million Shiite Iraqi deaths, a decade Saddam Hussein's terrorism and a needless ten year war to clean up the mess he left behind. He should also be known as the man who stabbed his good moderate war-hero buddy in the back to endorse the most destructive POTUS in U.S. history.

Hell of a resume he's got though, huh? Put it in a frame, hang it on the wall... I'm sure it would look beautiful right above a big, stone fireplace.

He endorsed Obama. What do you expect?

He’s obviously completely out of step and not paying attention.

I remember a lot of RINOs loved Powell because he had the most important qualification they were looking for in a Presidential candidate - dark skin.

If Al Sharpton declared himself a Republican, half the RINOs would rush to support him...

Thank you for reminding those that forgot how this woos of a general allowed the Republican Guard escape to later slaughter hundreds of Kurds and require a re-do of the war. Did you ever notice how the media developed lockjaw when their affirmative action hero general helped railroad Scooter Libby?

Isn’t this affirmative-action/equal-opportunity loser just supposed to “fade away” or something”? Sheesh! He and his wife have a ton of money...leave us alone.
