Bush Republicanism Must Go Away
American Thinker, Apr 26, 2021, J.B. Shurk

The Democratic Party is actively trying to start a race war in the United States, and George Bush thinks it's Republican voters who need lessons in humanity and fellowship.
 
Bush is on the media circuit these days pushing amnesty (while calling it anything but!) for millions of foreign nationals who have entered the country illegally; lecturing Republican voters on being "more respectful about the immigrant"; and trying desperately to reclaim the Republican Party as the slightly less socialist wing of the Uniparty where neoconservative, offshoring, job-destroying, globalist-advancing, Chamber of Commerce–approved, multinationals-funded, (secret) limousine liberal, military-adventuring, surveillance state, Big Government devotees who follow in the footsteps of Nelson Rockefeller while feigning allegiance to President Reagan's "revolution" can offer Americans the opportunity of voting against Democratic Party by pushing a platform identical to the Democrats' own policies ten years earlier.  Go Jeb!

"Isolationist," "protectionist," and "nativist" are the three adjectives Bush has for the energized and expanded Republican Party refashioned by the MAGA coalition of voters who finally found their voices after thirty years in the wilderness and a worthy champion in President Trump. 

– "Isolationist" because American soldiers who were led into war twenty years ago under the guise of fighting Islamic terrorism, protecting American freedom at home, and seeking a little payback for 9/11 instead found themselves used as nation-builders, police forces for occupied territories, and political pawns sent to combat "extremism," and many Republicans now question the wisdom of engaging in forever-wars without clear operational goals. 
 
– "Protectionist" because once those soldiers returned home, they discovered that the ravages of NAFTA and trade normalization with China had crushed Middle America's manufacturing and industrial workforces and condemned their hometowns to slow economic deaths.
 
– And "nativist" because the last thing paycheck-to-paycheck Americans needed while trying to support their own families was a constant flood of both legal (many coming as refugees from the same areas of the world where Americans have been engaged in combat for two decades) and illegal aliens competing for their jobs and balkanizing tens of thousands of small towns across the United States by transforming them from low-crime, highly integrated communities where people lived, worked, and prayed together as extended families into unrecognizable multicultural and multilingual enclaves upending town culture and destroying tight-knit generational bonds.

Quote
Democrats and the Democrat-controlled media spend all day long calling rank-and-file Republicans the most vile, insulting names possible.  They wound freedom-minded Americans by striking them repeatedly where it hurts most — their honor and virtue, sense of right and wrong, and respect for truth.  And each and every time the media propagandists finish slicing up Republican voters as no-good racists who deserve to be doxxed, threatened, and attacked, there's always a George Bush or Liz Cheney or John Boehner or Paul Ryan or Mitt Romney or Ben Sasse with a fistful of Epsom salt and a sadist desire to rub it in the wounds of the people he purportedly "represents."

This essay, although not the author's point, expresses why I will not vote for an establishment Republican again.

Excellent.

At this point, anybody who believes that it is more important to save the Republican Party from the influences of President Trump than to save the United States from the influence of the Democrats is so out of touch with Americans' disintegrating society and America's escalating police state as to have become an entirely useless "useful idiot".

The problem is, I think, that being patriotic and acting in America's interests doesn't pay those in charge.

Apparently the establishment Rs still have not learned the real lesson of Trump - R voters demand that their representatives take office not to make friends with their "colleagues across the aisle", but to change the path of government.

Collegiality and virtue be damned, the Ds and everything they stand for must be destroyed root and branch.  W seems too blinded by allegiance to notions of "gentility" and "decency" to recognize reality.  What a pity that he is proving himself to be the dunce the Ds said he was.

And they will NEVER get the point for so long as we continue to allow them to tell us who we are allowed to put up as candidates and elect to represent us. 

IMHO it doesn't matter now as the republic is lost and we will never see it's like again.

If Republicans cannot find an accommodation between those who want free trade and open markets, versus those who want to preserve the culture, we are doomed to fail.  There are not enough votes in either camp to get to a majority.

I voted for Trump reluctantly, and I will acknowledge that his immigration policies and foreign policy worked.  I was quite comfortable with Trump's policies, and somewhat uncomfortable with his style (though I recognized he would never have won without the brashness).  I also enjoyed watching liberals in a perpetual state of agitation, which in the end contributed to Trump's undoing.  He generated turnout for both parties.

I think GWB's legacy is very poor in comparison to Trump's, and I think GWB himself sees that, and so he is turning into a bitter old man.  Of course, the MSM is more than willing to accommodate GWB's worst inclinations.  But we should not take the bait.  Enough of this circular firing squad stuff.

Both parties never understood, or refused to try to understand, Trump's mysterious appeal was simply that he seemed to be the first republican president in decades who actually respected his supporters.

Is it "Isolationist" to believe that the American blood and treasury should not be spent to solve problems that are the result of corrupt foreign governments and the inept UN?  Otherwise, America is expected to fund the world while  remaining a silent, minority partner.

Is it "Protectionist" to object to Communist China infultrating and subverting internation trade organizations and agreements as part of their government policy to defeat the United States economically, politically, diplomatically, and militarily?  Otherwise, start learning Mandarin, fellow comrades.

Is it "Nativist" for American taxpayers to expect THEIR goverment that they FUND via confiscatory taxation to work for them and their interests to preserve the standard of living that has been earned with blood and sacrifice of legal American citizens, residents, and immigrants?  Otherwise, confiscate the wealth of corrupt foreign government officials to pay for the care and feeding of their citizens.

I am most likely to be accused of being isolationist, protectionist, and nativist when I say "No" to having more of my wealth confiscated by my Government to used to pay for other governments' problems at my expense without my consent.

The Bushies are frantic.  Their effort to sabotage America to steal the election from Trump succeeded, except for the part where we weren't supposed to notice what it was they were doing.

They want to reclaim the Master's spot, but they see that it's not happening.   

Their buddy Lez Cheney is trashed.

Nikki is toast.

Noem weirdly tanked after caving in to Big Sports.

Hutchinson self-destructed in a bid to get Wal-Mart approval, saying government has no place protecting children from sexual predators.

The Bushes are noticing that people are telling GW to do what he did for the eight years under Obama, ie, stfu.

The RINOs are not bouncing back.  It worries them.

I wish I could disagree with you on this, but I can't. I think you are absolutely correct.  I'm still coping with that fact and at times find myself foolishly thinking that there still has to be some hope.
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Well, truthfully there isn't hope, but we have to fight on regardless, because we're patriots and Americans.

The One Thing we know for certain is that if we don't fight the Rodents, then nobody is fighting the Rodents, and quitting is not what Americans do.
