George W. Bush: Bigotry and white supremacy are 'blasphemy' against the American creed

Washington (CNN) - Former President George W. Bush condemned bigotry and white supremacy Thursday morning while endorsing policies that run counter to those supported by President Donald Trump.

"Our identity as a nation, unlike other nations, is not determined by geography or ethnicity, by soil or blood. ... This means that people from every race, religion, ethnicity can be full and equally American," he said during remarks at the George W. Bush Institute in New York City. "It means that bigotry and white supremacy, in any form, is blasphemy against the American creed."



The former "Worst President Ever"  now makes it clear once again that he's a total "RINO". ("Republican in Name Only").

He added that "bigotry seems emboldened," though he didn't explain why.
"We've seen our discourse degraded by casual cruelty," Bush said, adding, "Too often, we judge other groups by their worst examples while judging ourselves by our best intentions, forgetting the image of God we should see in each other."
Bush didn't mention Trump during his remarks, but in his recommendations to strengthen American democracy, he said US institutions must "step up" and "we need to recall and recover our own identity."

I agree with everything I’ve seen in the quotes above that Bush said.

On 9/11 almost 3000 innocent people were brutally murdered by a group of Arab terrorists. 

Five days later the "Worst President Ever" made the following remarks about Muslims:

How do you explain the fact that few Muslims come out and condemn the radical terrorists that exist among them...in every city of any size in the United States.

Most do. How do you explain Trump not condemning ne-nazi's, KKK, white supermacists, etc? Why is it that every time these right wing racists come out of the woodwork, the right immediately says, "Well, what about the Muslims??" 

Since 9/11, Muslims have killed less than 200 people in the USA. You have a better chance of being killed by a vending machine falling on you.

Despite what he said today I'm not sure how a torture conspirator or someone who attacks a country which didn't attack us can ever be considered a "good person".

Was he really "a bad person"-- or just very gullible?

There seems to be evidence that he was being fed false information. Apparently he believed everything the "experts" and the intelligence community told him.

And BTW, many Democrats were also supportive of the war at first. (They later said their opinions were not their fault-- it was because they were fed false information).

Here's a really informative video. (Yes-- it is  a Republican ad-- but all the quotes here are true-- they weren't faked).

Also notice Hillary's statement supporting going to war against Saddam....

People here might be very surprised at what this video shows....
