A bit weird if you ask me...</p>SeanTue, 28 Oct 2008 18:23:51 -0000http://www.duregger.net/wow-colin-powell-endorses-barack-obama/#comment-10270788<p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>My hope is in the Lord alone.</p>DaddioTue, 21 Oct 2008 23:46:51 -0000http://www.duregger.net/wow-colin-powell-endorses-barack-obama/#comment-10270786<p>His comments (to me) were unexpected, not what he said, but the timeliness of them...

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)...</p><p>The ignorance of the masses still surprises me a bit...</p>Sam I AmMon, 20 Oct 2008 12:48:03 -0000http://www.duregger.net/wow-colin-powell-endorses-barack-obama/#comment-10270787<p>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.</p><p>But nonetheless, did you expect anything else? He’s a smart person and can see things above the level of luddites.</p>JasonMon, 20 Oct 2008 09:31:10 -0000
