George W. Bush: 'Bigotry seems emboldened' in US
The Hill ^ | October 19, 2017 | Rebecca Savransky

Posted on 10/19/2017 9:13:39 AM PDT by GuavaCheesePuff

Former President George W. Bush said Thursday that "bigotry seems emboldened" in the modern U.S. He also warned that the U.S. needs to accept "globalization" and reject "white supremacy."

He criticized the “governing class” without specifically mentioning President Trump.

"Discontent deepened and sharpened partisan conflicts" in recent years, he observed during a speech for the George W. Bush Institute. "Bigotry seems emboldened. Our politics seem more vulnerable to conspiracy theories and outright fabrication."

Hum-mm....Naive you say?...... Not exactly the best way to engage conversation so I’ll refrain since obvious your assumptions are just that...your ‘assumptions’. I don’t look to make issues where there are none.

I thank God that the veil is being lifted, and every day more people are beginning to put the puzzle pieces together.


Amen to that.

That’s so true; no matter what the outcome, Trump has exposed the positions of those who would rule us - in every niche they occupy (political, entertainment, financial, etc.).

Americans finally seem to have realized the Republocrat Party is just two just two heads of the same hydra.

Oh, and another thing, did you notice that he was actually railing against "bigger tree"? At one time his speech impediment seemed actually endearing but now it just sounds imbecilic.

Of course. A bush will always be jealous of a bigger tree.

Just go back to sleep George. We will continue the fight against the enemies of America.

I deeply regret voting for this shrub twice. I overlooked his bowing to the Saudi king or whatever he calls himself, but have not forgotten.

No U.S. citizen ever bows to any despot, large or small.

I suppose the shrub can't grasp the theory behind MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.

obviously, the bushes, including the shrub, are focused on their sicko version of "great."

America last...

The entire Bush family has been playing us for years. They are in reality Eastern Elitist Globalist Snob RINO'S, always have been and will be.

They got elected under false pretenses as neither one was ever Conservative or anything remotely connected to it.

They have always been in the Pocket of the Saudi’s and waged two worthless and unnecessary Gulf Wars that prove it. Their legacy is one of destruction of the stability of the Middle East and the Blood on their Hands of those they sent in to wars that have been for nothing.

I also wish I could take back each and every word I ever uttered defending these two pieces of Refuse.

So George W. Bush can crawl right back under his Rock and stay there.

I was on that ping list. What a disappointment, both in office and now...actually, now GwB is more than a disappointment. He is an outrage.

Karl Rove told him to say it. Karl is very much in need of all the help he can get. His PAC has spent millions on losers.

Since when is American nationalism, White Supremacy?

Here's how it works: The USA back pre-1965 had roughly a 85% white population. This was a population that believed in itself and its country, and had the largest economy and most powerful military in the world. So how do you destroy it?

The core method to destroy that country is to replace its population sufficiently with one that doesn't have the same cultural values, and has no loyalty to the country's history. Any non-white third-worlder will do, and hey, we have 12% black population in the US already who are susceptible to being filled with resentment toward white people, and, better yet, we have 60 million or so brown people to the south who can be flooded into the country who not only have no loyalty to the USA, but have historical envy and even hatred toward the USA. Once there are enough of these anti-American people residing in the country, you can dismantle the ENTIRE COUNTRY through popular vote.

But how do you get the loyal, proud Americans, to sit back and allow their country, and their entire history to be stolen from them? Simple, create the concept of "racism", attach a stigma to it as the worst crime possible, worse than murder or rape, and then accuse anyone, who opposes the replacement of their loyal population with one that is hostile to the host country, of "racism". And the more people you get into the country who are hostile or indifferent to its culture, the easier it is to codify this concept of "racism" as the greatest evil in all of your institutions. The best part is that anyone who even simply tries to be pro-American can be shot down as a racist by virtue of the fact that the incoming hordes are predominantly anti-American, and therefore pro-Americanism is inherently in direct opposition to these people. Therefore, pro-Americanism = white supremacy/naziism.

If you doubt, at all, that this is what's happening, you need only look at Europe, because it is the exact same strategy that is being used there. However, the effects are more immediate in Europe because the countries are smaller and long ago abolished any national pride, leaving them especially vulnerable. Look at Sweden, the UK, France, Germany, etc. Even as they are experiencing more and more violence from the invaders, they are being told that any resistance is racism, and both their native populations and their native cultures ARE BEING REPLACED RIGHT NOW.

"I'm not going to spend my time criticizing [The President]. There are plenty of critics in the arena. He deserves my silence. "I love my country a lot more than I love politics, I think it is essential that he be helped in office."
