I have been around for nearly 70 years and I have never seen the country so polarized as it is today. It is scary. I do not know how it is going to end. We hated Clinton when he was in and now the Dems hate Bush even more than we detested Clinton. I thought perhaps after 9/11 we could all come together but you see how long that lasted.

Bush is an obviously decent man and a truth-talker. That doesn't mean he's always right, but it should produce civility in the political opposition. Instead, many of the Democrats hate him precisely, I think, for his virtues.
This kind of hatred is not unique to the Democrats re: Bush, and it is a sign of profound spiritual sickness.
