Colin Powell, A Disappointment

I am a Mychel Massie fan and wanted to share his recent post this about Colin Powell, who was once thought of as an American hero but now is sadly seeking attention and blatantly defending Obama's indefensible and reprehensible race baiting, class warfare and path to disaster for this country on all fronts,...economic, social and militarily.

Mychal Massie say's it best:

Colin Powell is beyond a disappointment to those who hailed him as a remarkable success story who exemplified not only the best of America, but who epitomized the standard of opportunity that existed for everyone in America. But today he comes across as a petulant race-monger who is eager to blame disapproval of Obama on racism and/or prejudice.

Appearing on "Meet the Press" January 13, Powell accused the Party that made him one of the most important and powerful men in the world of being racially intolerant. Which is just another way of calling the Republican Party racist.

Powell was feigning exception to what he viewed as racist code-speak about Obama. Accusations that Obama was "lazy" in preparing for the first presidential debate, to Powell was a synonym for "shiftless" which screamed racism. Powell strongly insinuated the Republican who called Obama "lazy" of lefthandedly calling Obama a "lazy N-word." He accused another Republican who referenced Obama as "shuckin' and jivin'," of being racist.

Let me note that Obama is lazy. And anyone watching his mac-daddy ghetto swagger and/or listening to his pernicious pontificating would be hard-pressed not to say he was a classic example of "shuckin' and jivin'."

Many will call Powell a shameful traitor to the party he had represented, but I think there is more at work with his statements.

I believe Powell is, in military terms, "softening the ground." He is laying the groundwork to further reduce any criticism of Obama policies to being racist. The media blather will be "even General Powell, the former Secretary of State, says," blah-blah-blah. You can bet on it. Of course it will be forgotten that liberals and blacks called Powell a token coon, sell-out, and Uncle Tom when he was in the Bush Administration.

Obama is up to something that is going to bring on much criticism, and Powell is out front softening the ground so as to disallow cogent objections.

I should also say that I find it interesting that Powell had no problems with the Republican Party when he was flying around the world on Air Force One, and/or when he was Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, or when he was being asked to bear the Republican standard by becoming the Party's candidate for President. Powell's latent disingenuousness is an insult and offense to those of reasonable minds.

Real Stats on "Gun Violence"

This is an objective, homemade video from Guns America explaining some of the numbers on gun violence in the US and how the media and politicians are ignoring the real numbers and attempting to play on emotions. Violent crime has been declining for many years in the US, and compared to the UK, we have a much lower overall rate.

We do have a problem with violent crime in our inner cities, including gun homicides, 75% of which is related to gang violence. As we explained in our Appeal to Women & Minority Gun Owners, the current media blitz against guns is racist and extremely callous about the real problems in our inner cities. This video identifies the problem, population centers of over 250,000.

The Heller and Robertson decisions originated in Chicago and Washington D.C. respectively. If we don’t give any ground right now, our inner cities are on the way to at least arming the victims. And as the video explains at the end: “Improve the poverty level, create jobs, improve the educational system. That is how you are going to reduce crime in those neighborhoods. ” Again, the bottom line - memorize these for arguments with your liberal douche bag friends: ~ In the last 20 years the United States 50% reduction in violent crime rate and 54% reduction in murder rate. For 2011 England and Wales 3 times the violent crime rate that the US has. ~ Of all the homicides in the U.S. only 3.5% caused by rifles the AR rifle being a sub-set or small category of rifles overall.

Debt Limit Crisis

Currently the U.S. Debt is at $16,400,000,000,000.00 +

That's 16.4 Trillion dollars. This is the money we have borrowed and mostly owe to foreign countries to pay for our government programs, be it defense, energy, welfare, other entitlements,......entitlements being most of the government expenditures.

The U.S. Government is scheduled to spend an estimated $ 1.5 trillion this year over what is expected to be raised by revenues, therefore increasing the national debt to almost $18 Trillion.

This national debt does not, repeat, does not count for the unfunded program of Medicare and Social Security which will soon be bankrupt. How soon? Certainly before any 40 year old are eligible to receive it.

The House is set to vote (this coming week) on allowing the debt ceiling to be raised, allowing the U.S. Government to borrow more money to run the government. Obama refuses to discuss spending cuts to make the necessary borrowing less. What a shame,....what a dirt bag.

The American people, by and large, do not want to incur anymore debt as highlighted by a recent Yahoo! poll.

Yahoo! POLL with 235,591 people voting:

Should the debt limit be raised?

70% voted that "No, we can't afford it." 30% voted that "Yes, we can't afford not to."......meaning I want my welfare check!
