"Another affirmative action, plantation black finally getting his comeuppance."

Yeah Powell used his affirmative action blackness to VOLUNTEER for combat duty in Vietnam, while the great white Cheney applied for and received FIVE deferments to avoid serving his country in combat. Yeah Four Star General Powell is an affirmative action coward who should have never been allowed to fight for his country!

Exactly. I’m sure they worked with that total piece of human scum, Fitzgerald, to try and take down Bush/Cheney because their wives weren’t getting any more invitations to cocktail parties in DC.

Scum, scum, scum, scum. May they die horribly.

Especially Powell and Armitage (that fat gay pig).

Why, truth hurts? I can’t stand you keyboard commandos who question a patriots service to country because you disagree with their politics. Most of you cowards have not only never served your country, you lack the courage of a country crossing guard. I’ll always salute a veteran who chose to defend this great country. There are a lot cowards out there who think hiding behind a keyboard is the new measure of a man. It’s not.

Up yours. I served for years in the Air Force.

I’ve never trusted Powell, he’s a career butt kissing POS and would sell out his mother to advance himself.

Why the Bush’s would listen to him is beyond me. He was behing the stupid cease-fire in 1991 and demanded Saddamn keep his helicopters (that he used to kill more of his enemies) and stabbed 43 in the back with the Plame affair.

He and Armitage leaked like a corrupt built dyke in New Orleans. Both should be considered traitors.

You talk of cowards? Cowards like you can’t handle the truth. You hide behind the idea of the uniform thinking all are saints. Based on your stupid remarks I wouldn’t be surprised if you thought we should lighten up on Major Nidal Malik Hasan because he served.

Powell is a pathetic puke. When he voted for Obama, he lost any credibility he ever had.

"You hide behind the idea of the uniform thinking all are saints."

I don't hide behind shit. Thank you for your service. I'm retired Air Force and while I don't believe everyone who served is a saint, I can state without reservation that I'd trust a vet over a non-vet if all things were equal, every day. Call me naive but I will always believe it's honorable to pledge to defend our country even if it means giving your life. As a vet you should know better, or do believe it is more honorable to request five deferments, so that other men serve, fight and possible die in your place?

College and family deferments were common back then and you know it.

I spent years based in Nellis going to Germany to work on investigations in the late 1980’s of our good boys in uniform bringing drugs like heroin over in their military flights back to the states.

Let’s not pretend otherwise. Okay, maybe I’m cynical. I think Powell is a self-centered creep.

And, thank you for your service. I wished I had retired from the service. I left for “big money” that never happened.

Only for the elites. Cheney had 5 opportunities to serve his country, and he deferred every time. Powell had one and he served 35 years. Hate his politics if you must but please don't denigrate his service.

This thread is about remarks Cheney made in his new book about Powell. According to the former VP, Powell did a lousy job for Bush and gave piss poor service as America's SOS. My post had to do with Powell's support for Obama, Eric Holder and his belief that conservatives and Tea Party members are racists.

If you still don't get it, let me simplify this for you.
Powell is a rino.
Cheney is a conservative.

So, stuff it, nitwit!

So we're to restrict our comments to Powell's 35 years of Affirmative Action wartime combat military service to our country, while neglecting Cheney's five deferments to serve our country during the Vietnam War.

Sir, you strike me as one of the sissy men who stayed home and “river-danced” with the women folk while real men fought, bled and died to give you the right to type bullshit. You are welcome!

So, do you condone Colon’s voting for Obama, which was obviously and objectively, because he was black.

How far do you take your strawman arguments about him being a coward...since the person you initially responded to...said no such thing...though you insinuated it was said.

I strongly condone any vet's right to vote for whomever he believes best for the country. Honestly? I feel our votes should count for more, because we cared enough to fight and die. Truth be known I believe if you serve our great country for 20 years you shouldn't pay taxes.

You can comment on anything you want, bucko. But defending Powell on conservative Free Republic is not going to go unchallenged. Besides, it doesn't change the facts. Powell has stated that he supports Affirmative Action and that it helped him get ahead in life. IMO, AA quotas are immoral. Guess you're to stupid to understand that.

Again, Powell supported and voted for Obama, a liberal socialist. He also supports and defends Eric Holder, another liberal socialist. And Powell has called conservatives, racists.

96% of blacks voted for Obama and he still gets 90% of their support today. The plantation is alive and well! LOL

“I strongly condone any vet’s right to vote for whomever he believes best for the country.”

I agree with that.

But since this is a conservative site I reserve my right as a member of this board, to tell Colon to KMA for voting for a Leftist scum. My being a veteran, of if I was weren’t a veteran, has nothing to do with that opinion.

The moderate Powell begged for was on the ticket, he chose to vote on a racial basis. That makes him low in regard to any true conservative, despite his service to his country, which many have done both before and after Colon.

Powell—35 years combat military service. Cheney—5 deferments & a lesbo daughter. Questions?
