On Wednesday, while speaking at the University of Mary Hardin–Baylor, former President George W. Bush was able to capture the reality of ISIS in just three words:

“Evil is real.”
Bush continued:

“There is no light grey. . . Murdering innocent people to move a political point of view has been, is and always will be evil.”
Reactions to Bush’s speech have ranged from good...

One thing you can say about W for all his flaws - he knows when a terrorist is s terrorist...

The Republic is lost.

That's why I felt much more secure when he was President than I do now.

He took terrorism seriously, and had the moral clarity to call it by its true name.......... EVIL.
Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

Use the time God is giving us to seek His will and feel His presence.

That's because you KNEW he was on our side and that the guy who replaced him is not!

Exactly.

He loves this country, and he was humbled by being President.

The punk-dictator in there now hates his own country and is both arrogant and stupid at the same time.

Unfortunately, it's putting us all in mortal danger.

IMHO you left one very important word out of your last sentence. That word is purposefully.

I stand corrected.

It's definitely purposeful.

And that makes our situation even more frightening.
