Humans were held slaves long after our founding, and women had no political power, and in fact it can be argued (well, no not just argued, but demonstrated as fact) that discrimination still exists- trust me, lots of new yorker bigots felt like they could confide their racist acts to me since I was a 'hick from oklahoma' and obviously shared their bigotry....

The claim Bush made was pure horse shit, you know it, I know it... It was feel good BS....

"From the day of our Founding, we have proclaimed that every man and woman on this earth has rights, and dignity, and matchless value, because they bear the image of the Maker of Heaven and earth."

I am sure the native americans felt like their lives were valued as they were slaughtered... come on, Tom, Even you have to admit that the claim was bullshit!!! All Mayer's post proves is that we started out as hypocrites...

BUSH WAS TRYING TO REWRITE ESTABLISHED HISTORY- AND SO FAR NOT ONE OF THE RIGHT HAS ADMITTED THAT OBVIOUS FACT!!!!

It was, like the rest of the speech, mindless pablum... feel good quotes with zero substance.... (and you cannot claim I did not read every idiotic sentence)
