    Classic example of juxtaposition - placing two statements together in an intellectually dishonest manner to create the impression that Bush is comparing 1/6 rioters with the 9/11 attackers. When it is you (with juxtaposition) and the liberal media (via their commentary), not Bush, making the comparison. I will call this a juxtaposition fallacy and also very poor taste, i.e., showing disrespect to the victims of 9/11 and their families on this anniversary of a terrible terrorist attack.

    Interesting you say that. Working class law abiding Americans all across the United States in towns and cities dealt with lawlessness, destruction and fear from extremists all through 2020. Hardworking law abiding Americans found their shops and convenience stores boarded up, businesses burned or ransacked and some neighborhoods were targeted for harassment by extremists. Hardworking law abiding Americans were afraid to get on the roadway for fear of lawless extremist mobs.

    A don't remember Bush being on the side of Hardworking law abiding Americans then. He can't even understand what they went through. He's out of touch.

    It's a quote. By Bush.

    "There is little cultural overlap between violent extremists abroad and violent extremists at home," Bush said. "But in their disdain for pluralism, in their disregard for human life, in their determination to defile national symbols, they are children of the same foul spirit."

    Bush made the comparison.

    In the 9/11 speech today Bush never mentioned 1/6 explicitly. He could be talking about BLM or ANTIFA. I don't doubt that he is crying in his beer over Trump branding his brother "Low Energy Jeb". But I am going to give him the benefit of the doubt that he is not comparing terrorist who killed close to 3000 people and injured 6000 to 1/6 rioters.

    No question, the OP juxtaposed two different speeches in a intellectually dishonest manner.

    It's a quote. It's not ambiguous. I don't know why you'd deny it, but it's not a mystery what the quote is referring to.

    Key words:

    disdain for pluralism

    defile

    Plus there's this:

    It's wonderful to be a Bible-believing Christian who knows God is in total control of ALL sides of a conflict.

    Watch this video (the darkest and most depressing video I have ever seen) and then tell me what the biggest threat internally is. The elites sincerely believe it is you and me. I think we could be sleep walking into a genocide.

    Warning: there is loads of graphic and very disturbing violence

    Pretty sick but what people don’t realize is that if white people become a minority they will be the biggest minority.

    The west is committing suicide except for the Eastern European countries that suffered the most from Soviet occupation. They recognize if you don’t control your borders you don’t have a country. Of course Biden calls them fascist thigs.

    I never watched whatever show he had. Was it good? It's doubtful given his track record but I suppose it could have been if he was the only in charge and making all the random rules. Why did he leave that or was that when he was checking out illegal girls in the dressing rooms.

    The people pumping this ideology now completely own 4 institutions in the Western world.... global corporations, higher education, media and the public sector. They recently captured the military and the medical community. This is international and if you have public health care like in Europe, they are now deny health care service based on political views. This means that you can pay for a service via taxes and that service can be denied to you based on your political views but still be provided to illegal aliens who pay not a cent. In America, they are talking about denying health care to those who don't get vaccinated.

    Additional thought: since GW gets security briefings (unlike Trump) he is probably hearing about all the domestic terrorist chatter on the dark webs.

    I'm shocked and surprised that progressives would place a coordinated mass causality terrorist attack on the same level as a spur of the moment selfie-spree....

    ...said no one ever.

    I'm shocked and surprised that progressives would contemplate the consequences of violent radicalism without once mentioning the thousands of BLM/ANTIFA terrorists attacks....

    ...said no one ever.

    No he didn't, but he did repeat for the umpteenth time a Big Fat Lie.

    “A “woke” neo-Marxism, he said, was taking hold in America, while Europe was beset by a Muslim demographic, political and economic tide, creating a new state of affairs in France, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Austria.

    The West, said Orbán, was not up to the task of providing adequate political solutions to such problems.

    “We central Europeans, in short, believe that the West has gradually lost faith in its own mission,” he said. It no longer seeks meaning in its own history but instead reinterprets or obliterates certain periods with a sense of shame, while failing to discover alternatives.“

    Do your crazy assumptions become fact in your head? You can't invent things to serve an agenda and then expect others to follow.

    You don’t think left wing violent activists are a threat to democracy. Fascinating.

    I didn't even know it, but apparently he was commentating some sports event that day, based on a story I saw a bit ago, where he was apparently repeating his election lie. And the damned news felt that was newsworthy. *sigh*

    Because in no way could he be referencing the leftist attack on the SCOTUS beating on the doors and climbing on statues during that swearing in where they locked and barred the doors so those letfist extremists could attack them.
    In no way could he be talking about leftist taking over Seattle
    In no way could he be talking about 8 months of leftist riots in 25 states burning down businesses, killing Americans, and killing cops

    He could only be talking about a few hours of riots at the capital?

    That how out of touch the left has become.
