duregger.net: wow. Colin Powell endorses Barack Obama…

The keen thing to note is what Powell had to say about the thinly veiled derogatory insinuation about Muslims and Arabs. That is a disturbing trend of not calling out this notion that being Arab or Muslim is some how unpatriotic or un-American. Both campaigns are guilty of this.
But nonetheless, did you expect anything else? He’s a smart person and can see things above the level of luddites.

His comments (to me) were unexpected, not what he said, but the timeliness of them... I thought he would remain silent through the campaign because of his affiliation with the Republican Party and John McCain...
His opinion has already swayed a few people in my office to commit to Obama (as they were on the fence), and I see this as a huge blow to the Republican Party and their moderate base. Unfortunately the Evangelicals can't look past the emotionalism that Palin has been a proponent of, namely the Abortion issue and the insinuations that Obamais a terrorist (which implies him being a Muslim)...
The ignorance of the masses still surprises me a bit...

All of this is extremely troubling to me on a human level. Perhaps we are in the days where men's hearts will fail them for fear. For good reason, no doubt.
I think that I will make a concerted effort, from now on, to return to being inattentive to National and Global Politiks. Concentrate on being a good neighbor, husband, dad, granddad, and husband. This will keep me busy enough.
My hope is in the Lord alone.

I don't think this is as big of a deal as some people think.
BTW...what's up with Powell & Biden predicting an "event" that will test the President in January? A bit weird if you ask me...
