George H.W. Bush: “We must go after the white-collar criminal in this country as well as the others.”

I understand Americans are angry and frustrated. But we do not need someone in the oval office who mirrors and inflames our anger and frustration.

More than 220 years later, Washington's warning feels strikingly relevant.

I think you are engaging in the soft bigotry of low expectations.

This means that people of every race, religion, ethnicity can be fully and equally American. It means that bigotry or white supremacy in any form is blasphemy against the American creed.
