Guest shiloh357 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 resident Bush is facing fierce backlash from conservatives after he delivered a speech that has been interpreted as a direct attack on President Trump. Click here for a free subscription to Todd's newsletter: a must-read for Conservatives! “Bigotry seems emboldened," Bush said. "Our politics seems more vulnerable to conspiracy theories and outright fabrication.” The former Republican president never mentioned Trump's name, but journalists, political pundits and just about everyone with functioning ear drums understood the identity of the target. Listeners to my national radio show called Bush's remarks disgraceful and appalling and extremely disappointing. Personally, I'm puzzled -- because President Bush never publicly criticized President Obama -- ever. "You won't see me out there opining or criticizing my successor," Bush said in 2010. "I don't think it does any good. It's a hard job. He's got plenty on his agenda," he said in 2013, defending his decision to remain silent about the Obama administration. "A former president doesn't need to make it any harder." And in 2014 Bush told Fox News Channel, "I don't think it's good for the country to have a former president undermine a current president; I think it's bad for the presidency for that matter." So why did he decide to unleash on President Trump? I would expect Obama to undermine Trump -- that's what he does -- he's a community organizer. It's in his nature - he's an agitator. But George W. Bush -- yeah -- well, his blindside against the president was mighty disappointing. I respected that man -- I knew he was a fake conservative - but he took care of our military -- he looked after the troops. He defended religious liberty. That speech he gave on the pile of rubble after 9-11 - one of the best speeches in modern presidential history. So now you understand the lay of the land - ladies and gentlemen. Establishment Republicans and Democrats on one side, We the People on the other. When Obama shoved Obamacare down our throats Bush turned the other way. When Obama apologized for America on foreign soil Bush was silent. When Obama declared a war on police officers - Bush offered nary a peep. When Obama waged war on religious liberty - Bush was AWOL. And when Barack Obama vowed to fundamentally transform America -- George W. Bush -- stood down. Mission Accomplished. So - maybe his speech yesterday in New York City -- was just Bush showing his true colors -- coming out of the closet as an Establishment Republican Swamp Thing. http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2017/10/20/bush-took-knee-when-obama-fundamentally-transformed-america.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The entire Bush family is establishment to the core. That includes open borders and unlimited illegal immigration. Of course he has more in common with B. Obama than with D. Trump.

I doubt if anyone is going to attack you for that statement. And, if they do, they are wrong in doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is quite telling how Obama was treated with respect for advancing ungodliness and weakening America, simply for having nice manners while doing it. Trump is blunt, crude, and off the cuff but basically supports what is right. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
