Former President Bush says violent extremists abroad and at home are "children of the same foul spirit"

Former President George W. Bush issued a dire warning on Saturday while commemorating the 20th anniversary of the September 11, 2001, attacks, saying international extremists are not the only threats to the country's safety. In the wake of stark political and social division in the U.S., Mr. Bush said that "violence that gathers within" is equally as dangerous as extremists abroad.

"We have seen growing evidence that the dangers to our country can come not only across borders, but in violence that gathers within," Mr. Bush, who was president on 9/11, said. "There is little cultural overlap between violent extremists abroad and those at home. But in their disdain for pluralism, in their disregard for human life, in their determination to defile national symbols, they are children of the same foul spirit, and it is our duty to confront them."

The most worthless political "klans" in American history:

There is not a single positive value that has been contributed to the "former" Constitutional Republic by any member of this pathetic gaggle of political leeches...

However, they have all contributed significantly to the destruction, in the first place, of the Republic and, in the second place, the Constitution...

As a result of their efforts or incompetence, this country has become a Marxist (communist) nation...
All without significant help from any current, or former, foreign power (As both Beria and Khrushchev publicly predicted in the 1950's and 1960's...)

These klans did most of the heavy lifting to get us to the tyranny under which we now, and for the foreseeable future, live...

He’s so desperate to be loved by a group that will always hold him in contempt that he will say anything to please them.

He lied to get elected by conservatives and did nothing to defend himself or his voters, ever. It’s almost like he didn’t believe in what he was espousing. Exactly like Mitt Romney.

The libs were right. He’s a weak minded, simpleton.

“the other guys were worse” is the type of thinking that got us into this mess. Open your eyes.

Is the choice between

A useless 20 year war with too many dead and injured soldiers?
Or
Those 2 ass clowns?

Instead of invading every country he could think of Bush should have shut down the borders and banned travel from Muslim shithole countries. Then pass any kind of law that would Muslims as uncomfortable as possible to stay in America if outright kicking them out was off the table.

I wanted to vomit when George W Biden started to basically say that “white supremacists” in our country are no different than mass-murdering Islamic terrorists.

When I voted for W twice, I tried to kid myself that he would be a strong, great conservative president. I was just kidding myself, but at least (I thought) he wasn’t as bad as Al the Goron.

Donald Trump was the strong, great conservative president I had always hoped for. I really miss him today.

They hate Donald Trump and his 80 million MAGA supporters for the exact same reason the British Crown and the Loyalists hated George Washington and his fellow Founders throughout the first American Revolution:

He aims to take the power away from the ruling class and return it to the citizens.

This isn’t about Republican vs Democrat anymore. But the Republican Party constituency will be far easier for MAGA to reason with - since the average Republican voter’s IQ is a good thirty points higher than that of the average a Democrat voter, and their rural demography is far less corrupted than urban socialist Democrats.

I remember.

President Trump was the first president since Reagan who I didn’t cast a hold your nose vote for.

Well, it can’t be Islam. Islam is the religion of peace.

If he’s referring to Antifa/Blm, I agree. If he’s referring to patriots... FU GWB.

It's unfortunate. He was the leader America needed on 9/11. But since then, for whatever reasons, he had failed to pick up on the movement started by the tea party so now he is being manipulated by the left as an useful idiot.

A damned shame. He should had shut up and just kept painting.

I regret and will ALWAYS regret my support of this asshole. I’d just like to know the price to buy him off or if he was always a cheap liberal pretending to be on the side of real people.

Of course wen referring to violence at home he was referring to the firebombs and bricks that were thrown at Federal courthouses and cop cars in Portland,Seattle and elsewhere last year.
