Yes, Bush's approval rating was high that doesn't everyone got along. Only that the majority had a positive view of Bush.

It's a cultural reference you wouldnt get.

It means your a goddamned idiot who hasn't the first fucking ue what you're talking about WRT to American attitudes post 911.

1. I know plenty about the attitudes of  Americans after 9/11 there not fucking hard to find.

2. Even during the height of the "bloodlust" there were internal divisions. Sorry, that's a fact.
