[QUOTE="VanC, post: 559225, member: 3355"] All else aside, I really don't think most of the country hates President Bush. At least I hope not. His approval ratings are very low, but that doesn't mean most people hate him. Heck, I work with a couple of people who I'd fire in a heartbeat if it were up to me, but that doesn't mean I hate them. As for the rest of the world, I think it goes back to something I've seen all my life: Weak people don't like strong people. I'm not talking about physical strength or weakness. I'm talking about character and the strength to stand by your convictions. Those that don't have it don't usually like those that do. You're right about the political climate. It's terrible. Part of that is the media, part of it is the politicians themselves, and part of it is us. Heck, Congress has lower approval ratings than the president, yet we keep sending the same ones back year after year. What's that about? I wish we could get term limits for 'em, but since a constitutional amendment to do so would have to start in Congress, it ain't gonna happen. I'm afraid it's going to take a major catastrophe of some sort to really shake things up. It won't be pretty. Anyway, I've enjoyed our little exchange and, as always, no hard feelings. I'm up way past my bedtime so I'm gonna hit the sack. Have a good night. [/QUOTE]
