Is Dubya Really an Effin' Moron?

Is Dubya Really an  Effin' Moron?
Ever since former President George W. Bush's speech last Saturday on the 20th anniversary of 9/11, many media and political figures expressed outrage over what he said. He appeared to compare the January 6 Capitol protesters to the Islamic terrorists who viciously attacked America, killing nearly three thousand innocents and wounding more than double that number.

I didn't hear or watch it live, but when I read about it the next day, I couldn't believe it. Then I started to read the comments from major pundits, many in Congress, and other political appointees, past and present along with those who had leadership roles in the military.

Before I share those comments with you, here are Bush's words taken verbatim from his speech: "We have seen growing evidence that the dangers to our country can come not only across borders but from violence that gathers within," he said. "Malign force seems at work in our common life ... so much of our politics has become a naked appeal to anger, fear and resentment."

It's important to point out that Bush never mentioned Trump supporters by name nor did he specify the January 6th protests at the Capitol. Nevertheless, many who heard the speech in its entirety are convinced that Bush was alluding to the American citizens (Trump supporters) who stormed Capitol Hill to protest the 2020 election.

Bush continued: "There is little cultural overlap between violent extremists abroad and violent extremists at home. But in its disdainful 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 continuing duty to confront them."

Soon after the speech, those outraged by it took to Twitter. ACT for America, a grassroots movement dedicated to preserving America's culture, sovereignty and security posted the following tweet: "There is no comparison between 9/11/2001 & 1/6/2021. George W Bush is an imbecile!"

"When Bush condemns Ôdomestic extremists,' he's NOT talking about Antifa or radical BLM rioters. He's talking about the Deplorables, about us," former Trump campaign senior adviser Steve Cortes wrote. "He also assails the very people he sent to fight and die in his disastrous wars," he added. "He's the worst president ever."

Claremont Institute president Ryan P. Williams wrote, "One of Bush's many failures was to saddle the U.S. with DHS & TSA, forever treating citizens as possible terroristsÑinstead of forcing our enemies to change their way of life instead. Now he tacitly signs on to Biden's execrable national security strategy's dangerous propaganda," he added.

"You'd think he was talking about AntifaÑbut he's talking about you," national security analyst and Claremont Institute Senior Fellow David Reaboi wrote. "I can't think of anyone else who's made such a disgusting disgrace of his legacy," he added.

"I don't understand how George W. Bush could even say something like that many Trump supporters are the same that answered the call to arms from Bush. Many lost their lives or maimed doing so," Republican congressional candidate and combat veteran Samuel Williams wrote.

Some tweets were short and sweet. "George Bush is a monster," wrote former CIA operations officer Bryan Dean Wright. "Bush is a disgrace for this," conservative commentator and Fox News personality Lisa Boothe wrote.

Dr. Sebastian Gorka, radio host and former deputy assistant to former President Trump, wrote, "I didn't think George Bush could disgrace himself any more than he already has, I was wrong,"

On the other hand, Democrats praised Bush despite their longtime disdain for him. President Joe Biden said thatÊBush's speech was "really good," adding that it was a "genuinely good speech about who we are."

Former President Bill Clinton thanked Bush for his "powerful" speech. "Thank you, my friend," he said, "for your powerful and much-needed words on this difficult day."

And the Democratic Coalition tweeted, "George W. Bush is right. We must always remain vigilant against terrorist extremists both at home and abroad.Ê And we cannot rest until all of Trump's traitorous, insurrectionist foot soldiers face justice," the group added.

The New York Times, Washington Post, and just about every other mainstream news service have absolutely interpreted Bush's mention of "domestic terrorism" as being directed to the January 6th protesters at the Capital. Bush hasn't denied it. That's a pretty good indication of to whom he was referring. Considering Bush's known dislike for Donald Trump it's a pretty safe bet that he was indeed comparing Trump supporters to Jihadist terrorists. Bush has spoken out against Trump many times in the past.

George W. Bush. You'd think he'd know better. The fact that he doesn't seem to get it makes me wonder, just who exactly is he? Is he just another political swamp creature as Obama, Biden, Romney, Pelosi, Schumer and rest of the scum? Or is he a "useful idiot," a puppet of the left? Or has his personal hate of Trump blinded him? Or is he simply an imbecile?

The kindest thing to be said about him might be that he is just plain stupid. Whichever it is, it really doesn't matter. The important thing is, he's out of politics and thanks to his disgusting 9/11 speech, we patriotic Americans now know for a certainty who the guy really is. A national disgrace.
