Is it my imagination or is the world immensely more angry since Republicans took power?

The Republicans were certainly angry, disrepectful, and mean spirited during the Clinton administration. Now that they stole the presidency they have become awful arrogant. They have certainly appealed to fear and divisiveness. I'm sick of these wedge issues. They started an expensive unjustified war. Bush's failure to prevent 911 has been used to justify just about everything.

The only way for the country to go from where we are now is up.  The Republicans have proven that they are out of touch with the American public and can not effectively run the country.  So now maybe America will have a fighting chance to improve.

The republicans are getting nervous because they have become the minority in this country. LoL.

I'm sure they already have, and are currently. The government has little respect for rights or the constitution. This is a sad country we live in now. america the un-free. Thanks republicans.

Cindy, thank you for your provocative question.  It would be refreshing to hear honest and sincere debate and discourse.  Instead, there is an over abundance of "name-calling", "vulgarity", and "rage".  Often we treat and speak to our dog better than the President of the United States or in reference to our Creator. Neither Democrats or Republicans are "idiots" though we sometimes behave as such and God is alive and well and still putting up with our "un-like" God behaviors.

I would say that the current government is definitely not what the majority of American people want.  The American system is not looking much like a democracy these days.  I would say the people that do support the actions of the current administration are mostly those that are still eating up the propaganda that they are being fed by the monstrous corporate machine to which the administration caters.  The USA is almost certainly headed for deeper sh*t than it is already in because of Bush's policies.  The idea that destroying a country, and inflicting such massive suffering on its people is making the world and the US more secure is rediculous.  All you have to do to see this is ask yourself what you would want done in retaliation for your family being killed in a bomb dropped on your home by another country's military.  This administration's foreign policy is making more people angry at the US on a daily basis.

I believe you are absolutly right. He is depressed and angry about the mess G.W. made of the country and the war's and just about everthing elso. How he is going to have a big job cleaning up the mess made by his fellow Republicans over the past few years. You bet he is depressed.

No. Somehow, extremists get into power and everyone assumes the whole bunch is like that. Sounds kind of familiar to me....\n\nrepublican USA

According to the Repugs., yes. How dare you question your government!? This is the mentality that has "crashed" our great country in only 6 years.

Yeah, It's highly likely. People are waking up\nand becoming more engaged. When people are thinking,\nit's always bad news for Republicans.

I honestly believe the majority was just tired of the democrats bullshit!  Now that the Republicans have had it for a while....  Well aren't you tired of their BS too?\n\nSame guy /   Different face  /  Somewhat the same agenda!

I'm not a republican.  Every day I consider myself more of an independent.  Republicans do not have the corner on blindness.  Labelling is not helping anyone.  My guess is that many republicans truly wanted to improve the lot in life for many in the middle east and elsewhere.  They were frustrated and wanted to confront murderous fanaticism.  They, like many of the majority, were misguided and not well enough versed in history to understand what we were getting into.  The real question is how do we make something decent come out of this horrible situation?  Education,  focus, open discussion, sheer will and avoiding cynicism (like we're doing now).  Merry Christmas!

haha..yes. the republicans are just mad because they know they f*cked up. we are not drones, just educated obviously to a farther extent than the republicans when it comes to politics.Ignore them. Bush is just a hearder of sheep (meaning the rebublicans). if anyone should be called drones, it would be them. i think this country has far more potential to advance with democrats in office and less people will be killed!

I feel very angry about what Bush has done to our reputation around the world.  It is something that really concerns me.  But, and this is a big but, I believe you are wrong about the American people and our government.  The American people ARE the government, in a very real sense.  We elect and we reject.  We are free to speak out and criticize our government and our President if we feel they are screwing up, and thankfully can effect change fairly easily compared to most governments.  You can see from our polls (yes, polls are notorious but when they all agree it's good to pay attention to them) that the majority of the American people do not approve of the job that Bush is doing.  We can support our troops and still be unhappy about the reasons they are there.  \n\nWe will change the tide by voting, it is our most precious freedom, IMO.  Apathy keeps many Americans at home during the mid-term elections, but I feel this time around we will see a big surge at the polls in the Democratic favor.  I have to say, as unhappy as I am with the Bush Administration, I bristled when I read your opening statement.  It just isn't true, we are the sum of all of our parts in this democratic republic.  We will continue to respond harshly to terrorists and their threats, whether our government is headed by a Republican or a Democrat.  Guantanomo Bay?  It's unfortunate and there's house cleaning to be done, but we have a right to detain those who are a threat to our national security.  We learned on 9/11 what it means to remain complacent and have a false sense of security.  We won't make that mistake again.

I'm a Republican... The majority of the Democrats are morally wrong, and are all for that stuff....  Its almost like a sickness... They whine and stomp their feet about our soldiers being over in Iraq, fighting for our Country, and then they whine and stomp their feet for gay rights, etc.....Does that make sense..... Scary bunch of people, huh...

I know!  I've noticed that too.  Most of the people I know HATE Bush, his ratings are low, and the Congress that supports him had a recent 16% approval rating.  I even know some moderate Republicans that voted Democrat this year.\n\nYet people still say that "liberals are idiots" and "Bush is great."  Don't they realize that most of America and practically ALL of the world disagree with them?  Yet they still act all high and mighty.\n\nQuite a god complex they have, isn't it?\n\nBUSH SUCKS!!
