ot: Colin Powell

[Arraya]

But such is the nature of republicorp-democorp politics. Stir up the people with emotional frenzy driving hot buttons and pretend there’s a difference.

The least the McCain camp could do would be to explain how many billions they plan to give to the rich banksters of the country while the economy implodes. That would make things a little more clear. But, I’m not holding my breath.

Both candidates voted pro war, so the only thing that seems at stake is the kind of socialism the one brings over the other. Socialism for bankers, or socialism for a broader market. Not much of a choice, but it’s not supposed to be…which is why the PowersThatBe write such big checks to both sides.

The only economic track the PTB have is to mix enough socialism into cannibalistic capitalism to keep it afloat and themselves at the top of the heap. Have fun.

Enorah has a point in her criticism.

Literally I think Boyle is accurate but the implication that he is a black muslim and a terrorist all kind of wrap up together.

The part I find compelling here is that regardless of which of these is being imputed here, neither is acceptable.

It is not reasonable to say that he is unqualified either because of his religion or because of his race.

Likewise, the assertion that he is a terrorist sympathizer or a terrorist himself requires some evidence to have any validity. Ted Kennedy, as a Roman Catholic Irish-American is about as likely to be a terrorist based on these superficial criteria.

Eventhough Powell quit, he still took the job and did what he was told for a long time. Ruined his street cred.

How valid is that criticism when applied to a soldier?

Mind you I don’t necessarily disagree but the purpose of the military is to follow orders and enact policy of the civilian leaders, not to think critically or create policy themselves.
He was a part of the civilian leadership at the time you mention but that was not his background.
