General Colin Powel Is Turning Into President Jimmy Carter

Anyone familiar with modern pop culture has seen celebrities holding on to fame by any means necessary – some of these celebrities have the lucrative fruits, mammon, of their past fame, but sorely miss being in the news. This ‘vanity gone bad’ posture is what has been chronically afflicting President Jimmy Carter for years now and is now afflicting General Colin Powell.  One could understand why President Carter would be obsessed in being in the news, perhaps to rehabilitate his failed Presidency – lest we forget the misery index and the Iran hostage crisis and the rescue debacle. But General Colin Powell has no such baggage to rehabilitate, yet he goes into these venues opining on issues from a slanted, biased Liberal point of view… foregoing his past Republican take on some of these topical issues.

You watch General Powell and he is like the aged celebrity parroting the verbiage in vogue to appeal to the young or in this case, the loons on the far left. As I have said above, General Powell has made enough money from speeches and his memoirs – so it must be some addiction to regain fame in the political circles the general once enjoyed… discarding values he once held and making blanket statements about the Republicans. The general speak about the sickening discourse about President Obama – and he is right - but he was a mute during the same cancerous discourse, which was said relentlessly about President Bush.     

I have already given up on President Carter – even the Democrats try to hide this man when they are having their conventions. As for General Powell, there is hope for you, but you must stop your pandering to the loons of the Democratic Party - it is why there is a flood of Biblical proportion about to destroy the secular messiah president’s party in the coming mid-terms elections. There was a time when General Colin Powell could be counted on to give measured objective advice on the issues of the day – instead, he has become a pundit for the sake of punditry.
