Hate Mail, Colin Powell Edition May 7 2009
I haven’t gotten one of these for awhile. I should insult Colin Powell more often! Or should I say, Colon Bowel?
The hate mail:
I was reading the PAWatercooler, and I came across your opinion/attack on Colin Powell. He won a Silver Star for valor, a Purple Heart, and countless other military metals for dedicated service to the country. The fact that you would say he only got to where he is due to the color of his skin amazes me. I am not a bleeding-heart liberal either. I would have voted for Romney, but there are some evangelicals who equated being a Mormon with being in a cult preventing him from winning the nomination. I’d rather have a sharp business mind in office right now, and that person could be Muslim, Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist, Atheist, I don’t care. I mention my support for Romney to suggest to you that the rhetoric you used in your opinion of Powell is why the Republican party is a joke and why I have been driven out. I am 26 years old, college educated who is involved in the financial field. I should be Republican, but I am not, and it is due to the rhetoric you wrote, what that old woman in the midwest did when she said, “I can’t trust him. He’s Arab and a Muslim.”, etc.
My suggestion to you would be to stop with the vitriol and get back to advocating lower taxes, less government, free trade, a realist-mined foreign policy, and ignoring bedroom issues. You will probably call me a baby-killer, appeaser, elitist, etc. I just thought I could give you an opinion and suggest to you that there is a better way to move the party forward rather than what you wrote earlier.
My hateful reply:
Dear Anonymous Liar,
Yes, I’ve heard the “I would be a Republican if you weren’t mean” BS before. It’s all lies. Why? Because my incendiary remarks about Powell are about 1/100th as bad as the nonsense we’ve heard from the Democratic Party over the past eight years. If you were truly upset about “vitriol”, you would not be voting for anyone from any party, but most especially not any Democrat.
Romney was also my first choice for Republican nominee. I thought he was the best candidate. However, that’s irrelevant in this discussion; you use that only as a shield to defend your lying self.
You’re pro-abortion, so of course you adore Powell, a fellow pro-abort. That’s why you wrote this e-mail to me. And that’s fine. It would have been better if you just came right out and said that. But while you claim to abhor my vitriol, I abhor your dishonesty.
Go away, liar.

Addendum:
Sorry for the “HATE!”, but these kinds of people drive me up a wall. Oh, how they would LOVE to be Republican, if ONLY the Republicans weren’t such HATERS! Yes, because there are no haters in the Democratic Party. And, a handful of haters in the Republican Party gives you NO CHOICE but to throw away your principles and belief in small government and lower taxes and vote for a tax ‘n’ spend leftist… because you just can’t vote for a member of a party if some of the people in that party are mean! Good thing there are no mean and hateful Democrats!
Gawd… talk about bull crap. Still, hate mail is hate mail…
