Yeah, I used to love Colin Powell, until the "selling" to U.N. on WMD's, etc. I've forgiven him, and am grateful he spoke up and put his support for then-candidate Obama in the Presidential race.<BR/>In response to Brother Tim, who I deeply respect, I agree with you on all except the comment you made about LGBT folks. We(I identify as Bi, though I am in a committed, loving, monogamous marriage--to a wonderful man)are all worthy of civil rights.<BR/>I do not liked being lumped in with alcoholism(that is a disease), robbing, promiscuity, etc.<BR/>I believe(and science has proven)that orientation is innate. Science has discovered that there is for women, a certain amount of "sexual fluidity"--which means that although women cannot CHANGE their orientation, many women could fall-in-love with either gender.(Personally, I've always said "I fall-in-love with the PERSON, not the GENDER")Which means science is "catching up" with reality. ;)<BR/>Peace, ya'll.Lisa Nanette Allenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15263158091013515471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15216381.post-9431084291486175232009-04-03T15:41:00.000-07:002009-04-03T15:41:00.000-07:00Brother That is sad but funny!

I am not one that compromise my principles period.<BR/> What really bothers me is he never spoke out against wrongs he knew occurred. He would have been discounted as usual I am sure but you should speak the truth period. He is agreeing with Obama now and against Bush policies. I just don't friggen know any more.jmsjoinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17631105639275375922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15216381.post-70408459810216760172009-04-03T10:30:00.000-07:002009-04-03T10:30:00.000-07:00I tend to agree with Wease.

At the time, I believe he was a team player and compromised his principles for the advancement of the team. <BR/><BR/>Although many believe that to be an admirable quality, I, for one, do not. <BR/><BR/>I may forgive him the offense, but he has permanently lost my trust, and with it, my respect. He is just as responsible as Bush for all the death and destruction the Iraq war has caused. Had he spoken up, in all probability the war would not have happened. Yet, even if it had, his integrity would have remained in tact. He sold his soul to the devil. It cannot be redeemed.Brother Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08603553502416272941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15216381.post-40333920353095512492009-04-03T07:09:00.000-07:002009-04-03T07:09:00.000-07:00Hi Wease I felt betrayed by that but I assumed h...Hi Wease<BR/> I felt betrayed by that but I assumed he was lied to along with the rest of the country.<BR/><BR/> I felt vindicated when he refused a second term and has disagreed with everything Bush did.<BR/> <BR/> You have me on owning a business that is a 3rd world arms dealer. I assume he knows that?

For someone in his position, I feel this is an unforgivable offense.<BR/><BR/>The there's the not so small matter, that he owns a business that is a 3rd world arms dealer. I see this as a conflict of interest for him in his duties as a soldier.Weaseldoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12657976442272800800noreply@blogger.com
