The supposed mastermind behind “Operation Desert Storm,” the first black Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and former Secretary of State Colin Powell now feels it appropriate to come out and identify the ongoing Occupy Wall Street demonstrations “as American as apple pie.” Can you believe it? He did, however, attach sort of a disclaimer to this opinion, saying he is concerned about the violence that has emerged in parts of the movement. That this guy could have ever been considered as being even remotely a conservative, by anybody, is absolutely nuts. I lost track of how many times he, and his trusty fat sidekick, “Dick” Armitage, stabbed George W. Bush in the back. I always thought Bush’s decision to have Powell involved anywhere in his administration was one of the greatest blunders of his presidency. As he has demonstrated on any number of times, Powell has proven himself to be one of those guys that you can never turn your back on, as well as one always eager to take credit for the accomplishments of others.
So, now we have him cheerfully joining in the chorus of voices coming from his fellow liberals in their attempt to give this pathetic group of malcontents, who are essentially nothing more than anarchists, some level of credibility. They do this by making silly comparisons the Tea Party, and to continue to call these protests a sign of frustration in a time where work opportunities are more limited. In his effort to substantiate his skewed rationale for his supporting these parasitic miscreants, Powell recalled his own upbringing when his parents, both immigrants, always held jobs. Even if they were low-paying, he said, it was enough. “They always had work,” Powell told CNN’s Piers Morgan in an interview aired Thursday. “People are concerned now that there is not that work source of income.” With Occupy Wall Street, he said, people are unhappy and they’re “directing their unhappiness toward Wall Street and toward those they think are doing too well in our society.” So these crybabies are “directing their unhappiness at Wall Street?”
“I don’t begrudge anybody who has earned a good salary as part of our capitalist system,” he said. “[But] demonstrations like this are as American as apple pie. We’ve been marching up and down and demonstrating throughout our history.” He continued, “I get a little concerned when demonstrations turn into violence or when some of the demonstrators demonstrate absolute nihilism and they’re really not interested in anything but destruction and tearing down the system.” Powell said the biggest concern is the income gap, which needs to be addressed politically. “Those who are not doing as well, are not seeing their lives improving…there’s angriness there and this is something I think our Wall Street friends need to think about and this is something our political friends need to think about,” he said. “It isn’t enough just to scream at the Occupy Wall Street demonstrations, we need our political system to start reflecting this anger back.” So Powell thinks that the “income gap” needs to be addressed politically?
Powell’s is a perfect example of the warped mentality that truly represents a very grave danger to the very survival of this nation as it was originally conceived. You know, for someone who is supposed to be so smart, it become very obvious, very quickly, that Powell has made now the decision to cast aside over 200 years of history and to join in the efforts of his buddy Barry as he attempts to “fundamentally transform” America. But I suppose that point became obvious when he decided to support Barry for president. What Powell is, is essentially a traitor to the country that provided to him opportunities that, as a black man, he would have not had in any other country on the planet. He is a disgrace, and unappreciative, to say the least. The nonsense he has been heard spewing is found nowhere in the Constitution that he, supposedly, swore to protect and defend, choosing to now very visibly dessert those principles that served to make this country great. And in so doing he has now apparently decided to join Barry in shredding that same governing document.
There is absolutely no truth to any of what Powell claims, these riots is not anger driven in any way, shape, manner or form. What they are being driven by is any number of unions, as well as the Communist Party of America, The Revolutionary Communist Party, The American Nazi Party, CAIR, The Black Panthers, and “Calypso Louie” Farrakhan’s group of racists, the Nation of Islam. Hell, it’s even supported by the governments of Communist Red China and North Korea. And these are the kinds of people on whose side our former Secretary of State wants to be? Apparently so! By his doing so he has made it crystal clear that he is very much in favor of throwing overboard the rights of the individual and to replace them with the collective, a notion completely foreign to anyone who believes in our constitutional republic. So it think it safe to say that Powell has been keeping his rather radical side tightly under wraps until now. Men in his position, those that by nature of their supposed stature, who are listened to by many, represent a very clear and present danger to the survival of this nation. “We the People” need to be very, very wary.
