WASHINGTON (AP) — Taunted by Republicans to declare war on “radical Islamic terrorism,” Democrats are turning to an unlikely ally: George W. Bush.
President Barack Obama, under pressure to be more aggressive on terrorism, regularly cites his predecessor’s refusal to demonize Muslims or play into the notion of a clash between Islam and the West.
It’s a striking endorsement from a president whose political rise was predicated on opposition to the Iraq war and Bush’s hawkish approach in the Middle East.
As Hillary Clinton put it, “George W. Bush was right.”
“W” was and is no Conservative.
What next left?
So.. the left held Bush to be dumb as a stump. Now they view his statements about islam being a religion of peace as if it is a brilliant and world-wise axiom. I’ve heard it said that people don’t smell their own breath, hear their own accent and now we can add to that the observation that leftists don’t realize their own contradictions.
Hillary is attempting to garner the GOP establishment vote (like the mccains, grahams, ryans and boehners ) anticipating a GOP Conservative candidate.
Good Luck with that !
“No Christmas Celebration in Sudan, Muslims Burn & Demolish Churches” Yeah the religion of peace alright!!!
This is what comes from a very confused U.S. leadership, one which instead of being led by the simple dictates of the spirit of the Constitution, choose to wage a political equivalency war against its own citizens.
It doesn’t matter what Bush thought (or whether he was “conservative” or not) and it doesn’t matter that obama thinks islam is a peaceful religion any more than someone else might believe the moon is made of cheese. Those things DO NOT MATTER. What matters is reality. And we all know what the reality is — it needs no further deliberation or explanation. In fact, I’d like to hear obama explain islam’s peaceful mission to the family and loved ones of everyone killed in Paris and in San Bernadino.
If I was allowed only one word to describe this regime it would be “irony.” And it has been ever thus — moving through eight painful years from irony to irony.
Compassionate conservatism, sounds good in theory but put in motion by the Bush’s has only strengthened the stinking libs.
…and I think it’s fantastic that obama and the ‘rats want to continue defending islam in this way. It will reach a fever pitch right about the time of the primaries. Then they will have to come up with a more accurate word than “shelacking.”
Another misquote, I believe the actual statement was “Islam…a piece of shit religion.”
George Bush clearly illustrated that being in denial about the true nature of Islam is a failing strategy. Now it is time to take the gloves off.
What do you expect from a snake?
ISIS is not going away any time soon.
Pandering to their civilian Muslims wont stop the Jihad.
Especially when the majority of them have their heads in the 7th century.
It is nearly impossible to assimilate people against their will and I have no intention of converting. Consider which side is making all the concessions thus far.
PC politics is killing us slowly. Europe will go down first.
If they control the nukes, we are toast. Game over.
