Colin is about the only republican in the Bush administration I felt had good intent but got duped.

Now you going to say shit about him too?

Am I going to say "shit" about someone named Colin? His name speaks for itself.

Well that was an intelligent, witty and informed comeback. Bravo <slow handclap>

(that was sarcasm by the way)

There certainly are plenty of religious nuts out there. They are not all citizens of the US though.

There are a lot of nut job economic right wingers too.

I don't get your point though. Especially since the criticism is coming from a nut. You have a laundry list of confirmed mental disorders. I would say you are clinically bat shit crazy.

Family displaced, most of it murdered in the concentration camps because they didn't fit the bill of being perfect humans.

Yes, you could say that I'm living in a war torn country. Which holds true for most of Europe and many places in Asia.

Maybe you could use some moderation in flapping your lips. Fat chance of that happening, though.

You wouldn't make a good pimple on his ass ... or a good troll on a discussion board.

True. Colin Powell is the only respectable person of the Bush crowd. If for nothing else, then for still being ashamed of the show he had to pull off at the UN.

I'm saying it's one of the many indicators I showed.  All of the many websites saying IQ tests don't measure intelligence don't usually say they don't indicate any form of intelligence at all.  Obviously you disagree with what I see as being indicators.

I'm certain it has nothing to do with the fact that they're ... um ... nonwhite.

I didn't see this post when you first posted it so that's why I'm replying to it a bit late.  No, being non white has nothing to do with it.  The countries which exhibit most signs of being highly intelligent as I've said, are non white countries, South Korea, Japan, parts of China.  So this post was fallacious even if it was masked with sarcasm.

Why?

One problem that might be an issue is how much welfare money goes towards illegal immigrants.

Bush Sr, well he is a human, I might defend my child too, but even he tried to cop out to his son being mislead by Cheney and the rest. Even Bush Sr knew Jrs Iraq war was a lie.

I still wouldn't like Powell's economics, but just like McCain did with that woman when she called Obama a Muslim, not that there is a law preventing a Muslim from running for office, but even he stopped her in her tracks.

I think Powell and even Reagan, while their economics views sucked, I think they had good intent. I think far too many people simply took advantage of them.
