"Take Back America"
I see such signs in South Mississippi placed by fake patriots with conservative values. Who are they taking America back from? The majority of Americans who voted against conservative values in 2008?

1. I think what they mean is not "Take Back America" but....
"Take America BACK (to the 1950s or earlier)"

2. They want to go back to the Eisenhower '50s, where the white man
ruled the south, everyone was in bed by 11 and the bars were closed on Sundays. That's 'Murica ya know.
Women stayed home and cooked and baked from "scratch" and the only respected "professional women" were the school teachers and "that little gal at the bank." Oh yeah, I remember those days. My mother never ever wore a pair of flat shoes. She vacuumed in low heels. She told me more than once I was going to hell in a handbasket and I relished it...HA!

7. When I would go out my dad would yell at me. BE HOME BY 11!

AND BRING ME BACK A PAPER. So I go down to the corner and see all the guys just hanging out waiting. "What you waiting on man?" "11:30... We're gonna pitch a bitch at 11:30". -Richard Pryor



Sorry.. your in bed by 11:00 thing sparked this memory..

5. The same thing happened in Vermont after their nasty state legislature voted for civil unions.
Suddenly, the Reich wing felt that the duly-elected reps had somehow become invading outsiders or some such.

10. Tell them we're in the process of doing just that.
Then tell them to take a flying fuck at a rolling doughnut.

11. "Seize power we can't wield democratically."
Or at least bluster about it on bumper stickers. :eyes:
