Only George Bush can pull the crazies back from the brink of a fascist abyss.

I will always believe that that man caused great, untold levels of damage not just to America but the World. It therefore has come to something when I am hoping that he will do one decent thing on behalf of America and indeed, his Party.

President Obama has already spoken up on behalf of American Muslims who simply want to exercise their Constitutional right to worship. It is now time for the former President to do the same. His Party is on the brink of sending an awful message to all Muslims that America does not want them. This is on the back of a message to legal Latinos that America has no place for them either.

With talk of abolishing the right of citizenship for some, the Republican Party is not far away for expressing its desire for a WASP ONLY America. Republican Leaders are after all going to be sharing a platform with a Dutch politician who wants the Constitution of the Netherlands changed to reflect just that.

As President, Bush repeatedly made clear that the US was not at war with Islam. He repeatedly pointed out the contributions made by Muslims to the World and pointed out that radical terrorists had nothing to do with the three Abrahimic Religions, of which Islam is one.

The current crop of Republicans will never respect President Obama when he repeats those very same points. After all, with the insanity turned up to 11, Republican Leaders have been all too happy to push the meme that President Obama is a "Muslim sympathiser"; so to the crazies he would say that anyway.

Former President Bush need only to restate what he said as President on many many occasions. Such a statement may wake some of the few remaining wise heads in the Republican Leadership up. It may give them the early morning call they need before they are far too far down a road no decent politician should ever have ventured on.

1. I really don't think he gives a rat's ass.

[TheBigotBasher]

2. Nor do I

however, only he can stop this all so obvious descent into the very depths of the worst of human nature.

3. Yeah, the OP assumes Dubya doens't WANT our nation to slide into Fascism.

A mistaken assumption, I believe.

4. He also said we were in a Crusade

I wouldn't count on that puppet saying a peep to smooth over the rawness. I'd expect that he and his family spirit themselves to their huge ranch down in South America before he lifted a finger for the U.S.

After all, their loyalty is to themselves, their investments and the corporate masters that know no country.

5. The lemmings think they're flying

but they're really falling -- even the Decider can't bring them back now. They're already gone.

6. George Bush (R) has gone AWOL on this issue

Just as he has gone AWOL on every other important thing to come up in his life...

[spin]

7. He's much wiser as an ex-president than he was while in office...

he keeps his mouth shut.

[SpiralHawk]

11. There is a time to stand up and speak out for what is right and decent

And a time to shut up. This is a time for men and women of honor to stand up and defend America and the Constitution. George Bush -- Hell the whole Republicon Party -- is going AWOL on matters of honor and justice.

8. This morning he said "no comment." So there you are.

[TheBigotBasher]

9. As I said above

I do not expect him to do the right thing but only he can do it. By saying nothing on this issue he is allowing his Party to veer down a very dangerous path for America.

10. Duplicate

I refudiate this duplicate message :-)

12. But why would he?

If he hadn't said those things when he was president, it could have made things uncomfortable with his intimate friends in Saudi Arabia. It's somebody else's problem now and he's probably getting a kick out of watching it.
