Affirmative Action Endorsement
By jbcobb | October 20, 2008
Colin Powell endorsed Barak Obama. Are you surprised? It seems the mainstream media is in love with Colin Powell again. All it took was an endorsement of their latest favorite socialist. Now, Colin Powell is described by talking heads as one of the most admired men in America, a person of dignity and grace.
I guess I’ll have to play the bad guy again, and administer the dose of reality. One of the most admired men in America? Dignity and grace? Oh my, how we have lowered our standards.
The Affirmative Action General has done NOTHING of import to be admired. He is not a battlefield hero, as he directed his battles from a political office. In fact, he spent much more time in leather chairs in carpeted offices than in canvas tents. He’s not exactly Eisenhower, Patton, Pershing, or Lee, huh?
Politically, he should be hated by the left for being the mouthpiece for an ill-advised and immoral war. Even if he was fed false information, he should be admonished for asking for a war which served no American interests whatsoever.
He should be loathed by conservatives for supporting left-wing tripe and trash such as affirmative action, abortion on demand, and foreign and domestic governmental intervention.
He should be the poster boy of everything we have done wrong as a country, and not as something to be revered. So what, if he is a nice enough fellow. So what, if rose from a hard scrabble background. There are many people around this world who would make good drinking buddies and could enthrall you with stories about their tough upbringing. Many of these folks also hold dangerous and abominable political beliefs.
As far as his support for Obama, since when have American public figures had the moral backbone or intellectual gravitas to stand up and demand we reign in a runaway government instead of pander to politically correct, intellectually shallow, and terribly intrusive political opportunism?
America is on a train going over a cliff, and we are pleasantly distracted by cheap meaningless entertainment in the dining car.
