Former President George W. Bush in a Thursday speech called on Americans to “recall and recover” their country’s identity, slamming the 21st century rise of isolationism, nativism and anti-globalization sentiments.
Bush spoke at forum in New York City for the George W. Bush Institute and delivered an indictment of domestic policies that reject immigrants and free trade and foreign policies that do not confront security threats head-on.

You mean he crossed party lines?!
What a real dummy. This dork was the useful idiot for the RINO’s. Nobody told this fool that the rino’s no longer control the GOP. Karl Rove has been thrown out.
Once again, the Trumpets and Limbaugh fans talking about “rinos.” Go study real conservative thinking, you will see how far your hero Trumo is from that

Bush, the blatant 9/11 mass murderer, is calling Americans to “recall and recover their country’s identity”, hmm…..
It wasn’t Bush who flew the hijacked planes, it was Elvis and his genetically modified clone minions. He was ticked because someone had stepped on his blue suede shoes.
He’s the weapon of mass destruction that made us enter the Iraqi war.
Bush’s failed and disastrous non leadership led directly to the rise of the worst president in US history, Barack Obama.
George W. Bush was always a mentsch (yes, even when he was a young, irresponsible person with a drinking issue). It’s too bad that the core decency he possesses is so rare in today’s caustic, base political climate.
