Well said, and of course Colin Powell doesn’t care.
Colin missed all the high black unemployment, illegals taking their jobs, drug violence, worthless schools - all happening to blacks under democrat control.
But he wants a whole race of people to get enraged because a politician called Barack Obama “lazy” - Barack Obama who in fact IS a lazy president.
Powell has an axe to grind and probably for good reason.
“ON WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 2004, eight days after the president he served was elected to a second term, Secretary of State Colin Powell received a telephone call from the White House at his State Department office. The caller was not President Bush but Chief of Staff Andrew Card, and he got right to the point.”
“The president himself made no contact with Powell after Card’s call. For two days, the only person at the State Department Powell told about it was his deputy and friend of decades, Richard Armitage. Powell dropped off his resignation letter, as instructed, after typing it himself on his home computer. (The White House later pointed out a typo and sent it back to be redone.) Loath to reveal either surprise or insult, he used the letter to claim the decision to leave as his own.”

Armitage tendered his resignation on November 16, 2004, the day after Powell announced his resignation as Secretary of State.
Interesting. Still... I wonder why why Bush didn’t call Powell himself. Powell served under Reagan, HW and W.
Powell like Allen West is solid old school military. Something big had to have happened to make him do a 180.
So then according to the Colon Howl, the use of the phrase “shuck and jive” is now racist???
In 1960, no Catholic would ever have admitted to voting for Richard Nixon, when John F. Kennedy (presumed at the time to have bween a practicing Catholic) was on the Democrat ticket.
Time has shown us that Kennedy was not as beholden to the principles of Roman Catholicism as may have been once imagined, and that did leave a little tarnish.
Likewise, virtually no American of African descent would have admitted to having supported either John McCain in 2008 or Mitt Romney in 2012, but the tarnish spots on Bronco Bama have in fact cost him very few votes among the same Americans of African descent, including Colin Powell.
General Powell, do what you should have done all along and declare yourself a Democrat, removing what to many of us is a very confusing view of what you actually think. There is no room in the Republican party for anybody who cannot criticize at least some aspects of the Current Regime in the White Hut.
“After slavery, after Jim Crow, after the KKK, it is fair to say that among the worst things visited upon black Americans have been the targeting of our families by abortionists and the effort to end marriage.”
It comes as no surprise to an educated man that all of these named assaults on black Americans, and more, have come at the hands of Democrats.
Why is anyone surprised by Powell’s statement?
This who he is and has always been.
The man was born a pr!@k and he will die a pr!@k.
