Colin Powell is lacerating those who attack Sotomayor and says the GOP is not sensitive enough to minorities.....Powell, from Sotomayor's Bronx neighborhood, said she should face "a spirited Senate hearing"...but should not be condemned for ruling against white firefighters. "We can't continue to have somebody like Sotomayor.....called a racist...and he sniped at Rush and others who say Powell supports Obama only because both are black.

MESSAGE TO SENATORS: "Sotomayor's rulings shows she would make policy through the court. The US Constitution precludes judges from making laws. It is understandable that Americans are apprehensive: Sotomayor and her crowd are colluding to exert raw power over the majority---to turn the US into a failed Third World satrap. These racialists do not understand a sophisticated superpower----a democracy governed by the rule of law, based on three co-equal branches of government."
ACTION Every senator should get 10-15,000 calls from Americans. Even with Dems in control, 10-15,000 calls could make a difference.....this is an issue that cuts across party lines. Ask Hillary who lost a primary b/c she endorsed licenses for illegals.
==============================================
FOR FUTURE REFERENCE Sotomayor and her crowd are clearly unprepared and ill-equipped to exist under US democracy----within a world-class superpower that operates under the rule of law.
Case after case clearly shows illiterate invaders, MS-13 gangs, and their savage cadres, are America-haters, invading the US to kill Americans (the brutal machete slaughter of three Black Newark teens comes to mind). The FBI reports El Salvador's brutal MS-13 gangs saturating the US, have killed more US citizens than Al Quada killings all over the world.
It appears that illiterate natives from poverty-stricken hovels are being coached by corrupt Third World governments----gov't juntas that rule by military force. Even more disturbing, Third World military juntas are attempting to undermine US justice. Third World juntas demanded last year, that the US Attorney suspend deportations of marauding latino criminals on US soil who are killing and maiming Americans. This presages the Third World they intend to build on US soil.
We're looking at primitive, illiterate Third Worlders more accustomed to military juntas patrolling the streets in camouflage and shoulder holsters....these people are armed with a savage determination to take-back the SW (reconquista) by forming fraudulent voting blocs, using any means possible---means that are patently illegal. Clearly, the invaders are way out of their element----unable to circum-navigate a complex and sophisticated world-class superpower, one that is governed by the rule of law. Lawbreaking is not tolerated here. People like Sotomayor would suspend our laws in the pursuit of their racialist agendas.
America will thank Repubs (and others) for ditching this racialist nominee.
Benedict Powell - it’s all about the color.
Another reason why people need to restore the two party system by leaving the socialist Republicrat party.
“Benedict” Powell——heh-—good one.
Values Powell, like the ones you don’t have.
Mr Powell,Bugger off!!!
Colon Powell (first name intentionally misspelled) needs to STFU and go away!
The aim is to turn the U.S. into a third world sewer with
the oligarchs in D.C. ruling us.
Damn, this makes me so angry that I could actually BECOME "racist".
What? Minowities have sensitive feewings?
Should we pat them all on the head and say, "there, there - we know you're not good enough to compete in our society so we'll be 'sensitive' to that shortcoming of yours..."
Benedict Powell - it’s all about the color.
Powell is just joining the other 96% of blacks who supported Obama because of his color.
Powell was catching hell from, and probably not getting any from,
his social climber wife who was being ostracized in the “black power elite” circles in DC.
That’s what this is about.
But he’s not racist because only white, straight, Christian men can be racist.
That showed he either has no principles or he was willing to discard his principles as necessary to advance himself, therby confirming he has no principles.
He's an ideological whore.
Just to set the record straight Liz, we were originally formulated as a representative democracy, based on the rule of law and three co-equal branches of government, complete with working checks and balances, way before we ever became a "sophisticated superpower."
This balance has been disrupted through grabbing for power and corruption, hence the crappot we now find ourselves in.
Sotomayor combines all three.
Benedict Arnold was a war hero before he turned.Powell is
an affirmative action baby and a boot-licker and now a
MSM whore!
Powell should just follow in Specter’s foiotsteps and admit what he really is and stop pretending that he is a Republican.
That’s like me, a Caucasian guy, pretending to be Chinese!
Powell is just a racist, thru and thru.
To racists, there only thing inportant is the color of the skin.
Many Americans now regret they overlooked that when they approved of Powell.
He is now a disgrace and should be relegated as an “OJ”.
I dont recall Powell objecting when George Allen was tarred as a racist for using the term Macaca. Soto on the other hand has clearly been a racist in word AND deed. The media LOVE so-called Repubs who bash their own party and give them plenty of airtime. Why is it that we never hear from RATS who disagree with their own party?
What errant, offensive nonsense. Is Colin Powell so dense, so obtuse, that he can utter such lines without understanding that he is condemning minorities to the status of perennial childhood?
Are minorities delacate hothouse flowers that can't stand a draft, or delicate crystal that has to be tiptoed around and not touched? And if this is an acccurate description of minorities, what kind of employees would they make?
If this is not racism, I don't know what is, and Colion Powell demonstrates himself clueless on the subject of racism.
Bottom line, color or no color, Sotomayor has had 5 out of 6 of her decisions reversed by the Supreme Court.
That should be the Major Disqualifier for any senator’s vote.
Harriet Meirs would probably have been a better Associate Justice than this ‘latina.’
Okay … Colin, let me see if I follow you. We can’t have “somebody like Sotomayor” called a racist, but white guys are fair game?
"Robert Bork's America is a land in which women would be forced into back-alley abortions, blacks would sit at segregated lunch counters, rogue police could break down citizens' doors in midnight raids, children could not be taught about evolution." (Teddy the Swimmer; Mary Jo Kopechne was unavailable for comment).
Powell is a disgrace.
He takes up valuable space that should be reserved for some useful purpose.
Yeah, we should just forget Sotomayor’s connections to a radical hate group like La Raza, and we should just forget all of her cases that have been overturned by higher courts. She is a Hispanic chick, so we should excuse her. Powell is a mental midget who can’t wrap his mind around the concept of justice being blind. For Powell, it’s all about race and replacing justice with radical fairness. He is, after all, an inner city boy, with that inner city perspective on American unfairness.
There is nothing in the US Constitution that compels Americans to seat racists on our USSC to shore up the self-esteem of foreign nationals. US citizens are being forced to destroy our freedoms amd eviscerate our culture so these people can "feel good about themselves."

THOMAS SOWELL WROTE: " Is no one supposed to question her qualifications, simply because this nominee is Hispanic? Have we become that mindless? "
The nerve of his statement is amazing. He turned his back on the GOP at a time calculated to do the most damage and has the effrontery to demand we ignore Sotomayor’s racial comments and decisions.
I think he’s getting senile.
Until the Pubbies start throwing the radical liberal Rat moles out of the party they will remain a bad joke.
ping to post #28
Nice take.
Racial-thought police La Razans are calling the shots here---demanding "respect and fairness." That's latino for "shut up----close your mouth, or we'll get physical."
Racialist disdain for America and its culture is nauseating. Soto and her crowd are colluding to exert raw power over the rest of us---to marginalize the majority---to turn the US into a failed Third World satrap.
These racialists do not understand democracy is based on three co-equal branches of government...that's ample grounds for ditching her.
Sotomayor's The Enforcer nominee, itching to redress latino grievances. Americans will be paying with our freedoms for those Frito Bandito commercials.
Colon Powell is an ass;
he’s the only person in America who is surprised at Obama’s overreaching...
Either he has completely traded in his common sense and intellect to be in Zero's good graces, or he really is an idiot.
And I (Powell) never would have believed that we would have budgets that are running into the multi-trillions of dollars, and we are amassing a huge, huge national debt that, if we don’t pay for in our lifetime, our kids and grandkids and great grandchildren will have to pay for it.” From here
This man is either nuts or he's been a closet marxist all along.
No one who is racist can understand this. Powell, like other racists, only judges people by the color of their skin, not by the content of their character or, in the case of the whitey firefighters, by their proven professional abilities.
And yes, I take the extremist view that anyone who acts in a racist manner, regardless of their own race, is a racist, simply because a whitey would be judged in the same manner. If any whitey had done what Powell did, and endorsed McCain simply because McCain is whitey, that person would be labeled a racist.
So much for the concept of judging a person on the content of their character rather the color of their skin.
Being “SENSITIVE to MINORITIES” means that one thinks they AREN’T ABLE to COMPETE....they are LESSSER HUMAN BEINGS and NEED WHITEY”S HELP to accomplish ANYTHING and EVERYTHING!!! HOW RACIST!
“I think he’s getting senile.”
He’s got a blind spot when it comes to race. It’s very common among certain groups who feel that whites are not protected by the phrase “shall not discriminate on the basis of race”.
Powell is missing the limelight. He is a publicity hound. And he may be considering a run for political office or is seeking to be appointed by Obama to a post in his administration. The raising of Powell’s profile is not just happenstance. Something is up.
“So much for the concept of judging a person on the content of their character rather the color of their skin.”
I think white people were the only ones stupid enough to believe that cr@p.
Powell is stuck on color - he needs to look past racial politics. If he can't go the color blind way - he needs to join the race hucksters in the Democrat party.

” Sotomayor and her crowd are colluding to exert raw power over the majority-—to turn the US into a failed Third World satrap.”
THE bottom line!
“Colin Powell is lacerating those who attack Sotomayor and says the GOP is not sensitive enough to minorities”
Translation: All you honkies and crackers, shut up and get in the back of the bus. It’s our turn.
SOMEONE....ANYONE....Name ONE conservative stance Colon Bowell espouses?
He is the “Fredo” of the family.
