Its mostely the Democratic liberial press, they have a commie party and they don't even know it. they run all the large networks and they say what goes out over the air ways. and they all hate Bush I have never seen such hatred for one man they have no respect for the presidential office, the venum they spew is beyond belief. you did not here that kind of venum when their was a Democrate in office. All the news papers, the most popular ones are also ran by Democratic Liberials. they are sinking our country. If they had their way they would want Bill (I did not have sex with that woman) Clinton back.

I am proud to be an American and there is no other country where the masses are clamoring to get into like there is here. We have the freedom that no other country enjoys whether it is freedom or speech or religion. The country is so large that there is a place to go for every desire whether it is the mountains, beach, gambling, large amusement parks, family locations, or adult locations. If you like snow and the cold there are the northern states and if you like it hot there are the southern states.  We may be a new country in terms of the countries of the world but as the young people say, “newer is better”.•

You have a group of people who've grown up being taught that the USA is evil, and that by fighting it they get a free ticket to Heaven.  We then go right into the middle of their world to start a fight.  It is not something that will end in a matter of months.  \nNot defending or condemning the decision to go, but we have to understand that now that we are there, it may be a while before things calm down

Once again, I totally agree with you on this subject. I that when immigrants come over here and don't won't want to become citizens that they are just taking advantage of us and that their plans are to just use and abuse our economy and go back where they come from later after they have soaked up everything that they can. \n\nAlso, if they came over here b/c America is a great place, then why do they expect us to change our language, lifestyles etc....... If their own land was so unbearable to them that they couldn't live there, why do they want to turn our country into the same place?\n\n That was a great question! I know I have a lot of mad people out there who are reading this, but those are my feelings about this and my feelings will not change as long as I see my country getting run over by illegal immigrants.

We Americans should be proud of the thought that so many people from so many different cultures want to come to our country.  People come here because we have such a wonderful country, and I think we should all realize that none of us started in America to begin with - our families all came here from all over the world.  If anything, shouldn't it be the Native Americans getting upset with us?

they're basically jealous.  america is powerful, for some reason the rest of the world cannot separate the people from the govt.  and they don't like our govt.

news flash folks...people thought this long before Bush was in the white house. lol Could blame Clinton too. Could blame the attitude people see among rude demanding people travelling in their countries. \nI have a good friend for years in Canada and he always used to grumble something about Americans then laugh and say "not you you're not like that". I'd always ask like what but he couldn't describe it. About 10-1/2 years ago I started working in an international hostel...and one night all of a sudden I got it. Americans come through the door demanding me me me me. Some others do too but not as much as Americans. They'll elbow in front of other guests. They are inconsiderate. Not all are like this but if that is all you see of someone it's easy to think everyone from there are like that. There were people travelling from UK or other countries that knew more about US geography than some Americans did.

This attitude comes from being a very large well develped country, which has progressively bred a disturbing level of arrogance.\n\nBasically, America is drunk on its own hype.

No, we are hated because we always have our noses in everyone else's business! We're kind of like the big bullies of the world, because we have the people and firepower to beat just about everybody, so they enforce their will whenever and whereever they want, even if the cause isn't a honest one. We're quick to "spread democracy" when you have citizens being treated like trash here! How can you fight a war to free people when people here couldn't pee in the same room? We're bullies, thats why they hate us!

Because this country just can't seem to keep it's nose out of other countries affairs .  It thinks every other country should be just like it. Not all countries want to be like the U.s and the sooner the USA realizes that the better

they want the best of both worlds.  they want to remain a mexican citizen and criticize the US for being a racist country but yet they want to stay here even though they are not welcomed.  they are raping our country.

Think about it this way...\nWhy is it that more people try to get into America than any other country?  That should give you an indication on what the rest of the world REALLY thinks about life in America.\n\nConsidering how good it really is here I think we have a right to be proud of our country.\n\nBesides, I have never heard anyone rip other countires for being jingoistic or proud of THEIR country.  Why should we?\n\nGod Bless America.

GREAT question. Especially since so many countries do not allow their native citizens to talk badly about them.\n\nTo me, the fact that Americans enjoy so many freedoms and opportunities for wealth causes others to be jealous of us. The jealousy is often expressed through bashing. For me the proof that America is a great country is reflected by the number of people who try so hard to get here. If this country and its citizens were as bad as the people bashing it thought, we wouldn't have the illegal immigration problems, nor would so many people make the effort to come here to live legally, or to become naturalized citizens.

Present America is like pre WWII Germany!\nYou just see they want any others to prosper. Because of their ongoing fookish decisions, whole world is suffering (e.g. hike in petrol price to $72/barrell!!! Is it not fact?)\n\nAmericans are enjoying their lavish life at the cost of world.\n\nThose who think otherwise, should re-assess their veiws & may modify their comments.
