I am not optimistic, and yet it has nothing to do with the President. The country is not the president, it is we the people. Sadly, we the people are still just as polarized and divided as we were in November of 2000 on election day. The whinning, carping, and undermining from all sides continue, despite 9/11 and the war/threats against us. And that's just 1/2 of the country - the rest are asleep and don't even bother to vote. We are at grave risk of falling in upon ourselves in confusion, mistrust, and in-fighting.

We are a house divided against itself.....

And that's just on Free Republic. Picture how bad it is in the UNITED STATES!

Well said - and, btw, thanks for the "positive" thread you started. Every time I see it I think of others I have forgotten to thank - including you!

And we can blame that on the Diversity Squad and all the silly Americans who fall for their propaganda. This also includes tha Tolerance Squad who tell us we have to put up with anything and everything or else we're mean-spirited bigots.
