"It's time to take our country back" ?

[kentuck]

I saw this sign at a Santorum rally.

What does it mean?

[quinnox]

1. you never heard of this?

Dean used this as a slogan quite a bit, and most likely to goes way back before him.

[barbtries]

2. i'll bite.

since it's santorum, the return to back alley abortions. laws against any kind of sex not involving a married heterosexual couple and for the purpose of procreation.
time to be really, really big and bad and bomb Iran already. their nuclear installations especially, right?
time to return to feudalism if not slavery.
and let us all pray. constantly.

[WingDinger]

3. It simply means back to a white hegemony. All the rest are the trappings of a means to an end.

[liberal N proud]

4. Back to the dark ages

That is where thy want to take it back to.

Be weary of republicans with vauge request.

[cthulu2016]

5. You can only do that if you still have the receipt

[Swamp Lover]

6. Must have run out of ink. "It's Time to take our country backwards!"

I don't think so, but thanks for playing.

[RZM]

7. It's a stale phrase that means little more than: 'I want to win.' n/t

[The Genealogist]

8. I think what it means is they want a flux capacator equipped DeLaurean

that, when it reaches 88 mph, will take you into the past or future. In this case, they want to go back to about 1300 CE or so. Then they will destroy the car & flux capacator.

What Santorum, of those who are left in the kkklown kkkar, wants is a theocracy. I think what Santorum's speeches and references suggest is that he wants to create a sort of crypto-Catholic, medievalizing government that monitors women's bodies and what women do with them, wants suffering in a grand old Catholic tradition of days gone by (perhaps with self-flagellation, not sure), a new set of crusades against "the infidel" (Iran especially), and a more modern form of feudal society.

9. It means "Lynch the n***er inn the White House".

10. My mom sent me this e-mail about how great the 50's were

it was long and full of pictures and fond memories of what the e-mail called "The Greatest Decade". I sent it back with a reply reminding her about lynchings, racism, segregation, women's rights, birth control, abortion, and a bunch of other stuff.

The 50's were wonderful. If you were a Christian White Male. Which is what they want "back". They want things to be as "great" as they were in the 50's.
