He didn’t say what the paper says he said.

That’s fake news.

Why help the MSM?

Of course, stupidity was emboldened during the Bush years.

I heard the speech

I heard Rush dissect it

Bush bashed us

Maybe not you but most of this forum

It was a protracted attack of traditionalist culture Americans

How you could view that as otherwise is unfortunate

Here’s snippets

”Bigotry seems emboldened. Our politics seems more vulnerable to conspiracy theories and outright fabrication.”

“We’ve seen nationalism distorted into nativism.”

“We’ve seen our discourse degraded by casual cruelty. . . . Argument turns too easily into animosity.”

“It means that bigotry and white supremacy in any form is blasphemy against the American creed, and it means the very identity of our nation depends on passing along civic ideals.”

“Bullying and prejudice in our public life … provides permission for cruelty and bigotry.”

“The only way to pass along civic values is to live up to them.”

sure Bush was remonstrating the left ....sure he was....he was using msm taking points ver batim.....who wrote it I wonder.....Frum or Wallace

Time for Trump to dig up the media narratives, themes and memes of the Bush era. They will be identical. Then tell Bush to go paint.

I don’t know about “bigotry” being emboldened, but there is no denying that there is a tremendous backlash going on. A backlash that is 100% in response o the policies, statements, and character of the previous administration. Seriously, running to a microphone every time a thug gets put down while having beers with an organization that advocates the death of cops??? Refusing to use the phrase Radical Islamic Terrorism...etc. Guess ole Bushy was tuned out during those years.

Yes.

It is clearly part of the primary campaign to support GOPe candidates over conservatives.

I am addressing the false headline.

Fake news.

“Crickets from Bush during the Obama years.”

Not only crickets from GW during the Obama dismantling of America, but crickets from GHWB as Billy Jeff took his porn show and corruption to the Oval Office.

I see this as a message to all globalist deep state swampers: Trump is winning and is a threat to the NWO, time to move on him.

Three votes I regret. W and McCain. And Romney.

And G. Herbert Walker Bush. My only proud Presidential votes now are Reagan and Trump.

Great post. Bush brought his bazooka, trained it on mosquitoes, and fired away. Maybe this guy really IS as obtuse as his critics said.

Absolutely 100% spot on.
At the time, we had no other alternative but to support him.

“Crickets from Bush during the Obama years.”

Like father, like son. It was genteel to avoid criticism of Clinton (now W’s and Yeb’s “brother from another mother”) and respectively Obama.

No problem criticizing Reagan and now Trump.

GWB must have taken Jebbie’s humiliation worse than we thought he did!

There’s something about a Bush that causes them to glow in the attention of Democrats, but GWB must be slipping. He forgets that the Democrats never gave him any kind of a fair deal, as Truman called the plan.

And George P. Bush is trying to “modernize” the Alamo essentially out of historical existence.
