I have never been & will never be a redneck. Been called preppy, concieted, even overdressed but never a redneck. However I do have a few "redneck" friends, & I like them better than the political people I associate with at functions where the Democrats & Republicans meet. Give me a good old boy over a liberal any day. At least one can tell the truth.

No I don't like president Bush. It's not him as a person. It is him as a leader.  Maybe he believes in God, and wants to save unborn babies.  Maybe he is otherwise a great guy but that doesn't mean he knows what he is doing in the way of leading a country.  Perhaps Bush coveted ,only, the idea of being president.  He wanted to follow in his daddy's footsteps, and be a great and powerful man.  Now he has what he wanted and doesn't know what to do with it.  He's like a teenager who just got his license and now wants to drive everywhere for no reason at all except for the fact that he CAN.  He figured "Well,... I have all this military power at my disposal.  I want to have some fun with it before I go".  Like a little excited kid playing make believe with the nation. His motives aren't as much for the good of the world as they are for is own childish enjoyment.  Sadly many Americans bought into him.  People have always had problems with Americans and probably always will, but with George W. Bush the world really has lost what respect it had for the U.S.

Hi, I have absolutely nothing against the Americans. I have been over there on holiday a few times and have worked a while in Kansas City, Missouri. Of course as a Brit (living in Switzerland presently),  I did notice that life in America is much more anonym, probably because of the vast size of your country and the sheer magnitude of your population.\nThe only reservation I have with Americans are their eating habits (fast food etc), and their lack of geographical knowledge..outside of the USA. (Who is perfect anyway?)\nI do not detest Bush as a person, I do not really know him,  but I have not agreed with all of his policies and decisions. Then again, the whole world is corrupt anyway. I think we have to be patient for the truth to be illuminated. Maybe one day we will find out the full truth with regard to Irak and other armed conflicts, in which the US Forces are and have been involved.\n\nI evaluate the change as a positive step for USA and for the world, but cannot make any prognosis, as we, normal citizens do not have access to all the information!.\nI was very suprised that Bush was re-elected in 2004 and not surprised at all, that the long-yearned for change of leadership is happening now.\n\nGood luck, and a good question. It shows that you think globally and are interested in outsiders' opinions!

Yes it is, we was never very well liked in the world but now we are hated. Bush has made many enemys with his lies and actions.

I think there is a new world coming, I call it the future. I don't know if it will be better or worse than the world we have now. Bush will be out of office soon; that's one bright spot. I'm inclined to think it will be worse simply because there will be more people around in the future, and that can only spell trouble. As for what I'm doing to make it better...not much. I am trying not curse around children as often, I guess that's something.

so...like...New Orleans would be Bushville?\n\nI see what you're saying, like Hoovervilles. That's not a bad idea.

America has become the pariah of the world: arrogant, selfish, self-centred, ignorant, pseudo-fascist, careless of world opinion, disregarding global warming, ignoring international law, greedy and ugly. The future lies with the East: China and India. It will take more than just ditching Bush and his criminal friends to change things. In the meantime, international hatred of the USA will drive it even further into militarism and prejudice.

It's still a possibility in the US, I don't put anything past Bush and his goons. \n\nHe may be down, but not out.  Out for those bums mean death.  \n\nI'm sure as we speak they are planning their next move - who is the next most puppet-like fratboy who obeys his pappy's friends who can relate to the Republican constituents (read that redneck, inbred, trailer park, impressionable, reccessive imbeciles) without question.

There are definitely some eerie Big Brother/Cult of Personality vibes coming off the GOP these days.  According to his apologists, Bush can do no wrong.  To voice opposition to his policies is branded disloyalty.  All his his lies are treated as gospel.  Corruption, stealing elections ... advanced Fascism or Banana Republic, call it what you will.\n\nBlatant disregard for the Constitution and the principles this country was founded upon: balance of powers, rule of law, separation of church and state, favoring corporations and the wealthy over the interest of the people ... the list goes on and on ...

False, but VERY close...\n\nThe real Bush legacy:  "Ask not what you can do for your country; ask what you and your country can do for me and my rich buddies."

That's funny that you say that, I just read the other day that "survival mode" is what insiders are calling what the Bush Administration is doing right now.  They are tanking all across the board, polls are way down, Iraq is a mess...\n\nI wouldn't say our country as a whole is in bad shape, but our leadership in Congress and in the Whitehouse needs to change for sure.  A question I ran across the other day, which I though was very astute, do people of the world think of the US like most of us think of Microsoft?  Or Wal-Mart for that matter...too powerful, too crappy, to mundane, a bully? How did our great country get to this point?
