A Bush Finds His Voice – For eight long years, from January 20, 2009 through January 20, 2017, supporters of former President George W. Bush were saddened and frustrated as Mr. Bush sat idly by while his successor in office and his own supporters trashed Bush’s policies, his reputation and his personality on pretty much a daily basis. For those eight long years, Mr. Bush appeared happy and very much unperturbed as his successor worked overtime to tear down this country’s institutions brick by brick, to foment racial divisions wherever possible, acted in an utterly lawless manner whenever it suited his desires and needs, and, as we are finding out this week, allowed his Secretary of State and Attorney General to literally sell the country’s national security interests to Russia.
Mr. Bush seemed to be footloose and fancy free as his successor sat fecklessly by and allowed ISIS to grow and take over vast swaths of Iraq and Syria, as terrorist attacks in the U.S. and throughout Western Europe multiplied in almost a geometric progression, as North Korea marched steadily towards possessing an intercontinental nuclear capability.
During all that time and through all that corruption and destruction of American society, Mr. Bush sat at his Crawford, Texas ranch like a deaf mute, rarely seen in public other than at events at his presidential library on the SMU campus, or other events at which he was paling around with his “Brother from another Mother”, Bill Clinton. Nothing, no insult, no being blamed by his successor for his own failures, no corruption of government or society by said successor could break Mr. Bush out of his self-imposed silence.
It is only this week that Mr. Bush has suddenly found his voice. As a duly-elected President of his own political party is going about systematically deconstructing the legacy of Mr. Bush’s successor, trying to resolve the crises with Iran and North Korea that both Mr. Bush and his successor punted down the road, dealing with major natural disasters in three states and Puerto Rico, and under a daily withering assault by our fake national news media, Mr. Bush chose this moment to come out of hiding and make a speech criticizing another president. Unfortunately, and to his undying disgrace, Mr. Bush chose to criticize not his successor and all the damage he perpetrated on our country, but the current President, Donald Trump.
In making that speech yesterday, conveniently timed to distract attention from the exploding Russian Uranium/bribery scandal that took place in the first two years of the Obama Administration, the former President removed all doubt about where his real loyalties lie. Mr. Bush is a Bush after all, and his loyalties are with the establishment, the ruling elite, the globalists who insist we place international interests above the interests of American citizens, and the DC Swamp creatures who continue to work to ensure such outcomes. He’s just another Bush, like his Dad, like Jeb! and all the other Bushes who are creatures of the ruling elite. His outlook and philosophy differ from those of the Clintons and the Obamas only by small degrees.
By labeling President Trump’s voters as bigots and nativists, Mr. Bush showed an elite’s disdain for the very same voters who got him elected in 2000 and 2004.
By laying off the blame for our current social strife entirely on President Trump, Mr. Bush demonstrated support for the very leftists who are truly responsible for it all. By refusing to condemn the Democrat-invented “resistance”, Mr. Bush showed his preference for the true fascists among us.
I’ll never regret supporting George W. Bush in 2000 and 2004, because he was definitely the lesser of two evils in those elections. But Thursday’s disgracefully timed and delivered speech removed any remaining doubt that he was in fact an evil, and that made it a sad day indeed.
FUGB and your little pet, Karl.
Wow.. I Love that image.. It is Truth! Thank you for posting it!
No. There is some evidence that they both were there. W would have been 17. There are pictures of a young man strikingly similar to W in Dealey that day. There are other pictures of a man resembling Poppy as well, although I don’t really think it’s him. Although with this vile and disgusting family, nothing would surprise me
Didn’t he say something to the effect of giving a new president room to operate when Obama was elected. He would not comment on issues or policies, or the presidency.
Meeting up with Ted Cruz’s dad, who was also in on the plan!
At this point, I’m pretty sure that Trump’s election was the first time in my life that my vote won.
Things have been slow on certain issues, but he’s doing it.
Now about that national reciprocity...
You mean his father.
The Bush’s have long been globalists/One Worlders,Bilderbergers etc etc ... The Elite above the law. ( See KLINTOON CRIMES )
The bush family are self-interested wealthy globalists who do not have Free America’s best interests at heart. May they rot.
You know, I heard that President Trump has until Oct 26th to decide whether to declassify documents about JFK's murder and I wondered if any implicated Bush Sr. After two Bush administrations, though, I'm sure that they have been thoroughly scrubbed.
Yep.. Establishment Progressives on the Right and Left are scared out of their gourds. They are throwing anything and everything against the wall hoping it will stick.. They are seeing their Globalist Agenda being defeated before their eyes. God bless President Trump and every Patriot working to restore our Amazing country!
He has no loyalties. He’s a puppet.
Among the bigger/stronger nations an agreement not to assassinate leaders seems to still be in effect...With smaller nations however,there seems a lull now for quite some time..(with exception re Russia’S FORMER ‘holdings’)
“George W. was about 12 when JFK was assassinated. I don’t think he was involved.”
He was 17.
I so agree with your disappointment in Bush. I grew unhappy with him gradually as his terms concluded and he didn’t have a spark of fight back. Then when he kept silent during Obama’s destruction of our constitution and country, I just thought he was a wimp, as some described him. At first, when he was so down on Trump, I ascribed it to natural family feelings over hearing his brother insulted during an election - the normal state of things these days. But it’s become clear it’s more than that. He was silent to support the other side, not because he was any sort of a gentleman. It was the ultimate “virtue signalling” of someone who prefers the Democratic status quo. I’m disgusted.
“Going back to the Viet Nam era, George W got a special deal to join the Texas National Guard and thus avoided service in Nam.”
As a vet ì would never criticize another brother in arms who wore the uniform whether regular, reserve or guard. Also, there must have been a whole shit pot of people who got “special deals”. Ask todays’ guardsmen and women who are rotatating in and out of the middle east how their “special deals” are going.
Didn’t like W’s speech. I thought he misrepresented what is going on.
He left his supporters hanging for 8 years of his presidency, kept quiet through all 8 years of Obama, but after a few months of Trump? He gets on TV and calls us “nativists” and moans about “bigotry”? What next? “Deplorables”? “Racists”?
I guess it’s just too much to want to have borders in the eyes of GWB. We finally found the one thing he cares enough about to speak out on.
That guy can GF himself. I’m sorry I ever voted for him.
