Former President George W. Bush used his 9/11 anniversary speech in Shanksville, Pennsylvania to condemn 'violent extremists abroad and violent extremists at home,' calling them 'children of the same foul spirit.'

Bush also used his address to tell veterans and servicemembers that their sacrifices in the War on Teror weren't for nothing.

And the former leader pushed the nation to display the same sort of unity that was present in the days following the September 11, 2001 attacks.

'Many Americans struggled to understand why an enemy would hate us with such zeal,' Bush said. 'The security measure incorporated into our lives are both sources of comfort and reminders of our vulnerability. And we have seen growing evidence that the dangers to our country can come not only across borders but from violence that gathers within.'

The former Republican president noted that there is 'little cultural overlap between violent extremists abroad and violent extremists at home' except for their 'disregard of human life.'

The Americans who fought back on Flight 93 ARE the “extremists” he is demeaning.

Does that mean people who oppose Jeb Bush and make him cry?

I resemble that remark.

What is he talking about? Who are the violent extremists at home? The gangs who perpetrate violence in our cities? Who exactly is he referring to?

And why does everyone avoid saying who the enemy is? Nobody wants to say that the enemies are radical Muslim terrorists.

That’s funny. All the “violent extremists” at home seem to have their roots in the FBI (Las Vegas, Jan 6, etc), which last I checked is FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

Bush is trying to take the heat off of Islam, again. What the hell is wrong with this guy?

Less than one week after the 9/11 attacks:

“Islam is peace.”

No. “Violent extremists” are those who insist on voting integrity, using “viloent” words like, “Voter ID.”
