Reply #32: It IS possible for someone to see the actions that are happening now for what they are [View All]

without having to give up all of one's previous political positions/stances. Especially in the case of general officers who are supposed to be loyal to the Commander-in-Chief and to be above the politics it is easy for me to imagine them being more pro-Republican.

Colin Powell, on the other hand, was a civilian holding his job as Sec of State.

Whatever the retired General's past political affiliations, if his stature as a former military officer helps to enlighten even a few wingnuts as to the perfidy that is going down in their name, I commend him and encourage him to give it all he's got.

There was a time when being a Republican and a conservative actually meant something besides being a knee-jerk fascist.
