I saw a Romney sign that said "Take Back America"

[gollygee]

What do they mean by that? Obama got the majority of the votes. America chose Obama. Take back from whom? And then give to whom?

I'm really bothered by this sign. I feel like someone wouldn't have written that about a white president.

1. Take it back from the unwashed masses

& restore it to the aristocrats & landed gentry, where it belongs.

[ThatsMyBarack]

2. I'd rather take this country FORWARD!

[sharp_stick]

3. I saw a bunch saying

exactly the same thing when shrubbo was President. There's a ton of racism out there but this is a pretty big reach.

[Fawke Em]

4. Judging by their positions on women's rights/issues, they

seem to be wanting to take America back to the 1800s.

[Aerows]

7. I'm thinking the 1200's

At least during the 1800s they valued science.

[Skittles]

5. take America back from the black Muslim

what kills me is, look at what those bastards did to America last time they had her

[bluestateguy]

6. Howard Dean used that as a slogan too in 2004

See how effective it was.

It does imply that America somehow belongs to this group and not this other group.

And just because your guy wins the presidency does not mean that one faction somehow controls the country.

8. They don't believe that democrats have the right to the executive office.

They felt the same way about Pres. Clinton. Everyone seems to have forgotten the Clinton years and the disgusting behavior of the republicans back in the 90's.

I think the fact that the current President is also a black man has caused them to become completely disconnected from all reason and rational thinking.

[liberal N proud]

9. It means they want to take us back to the 1950's or even earlier in some cases

All I know is that I don't think we would like it very much once they got us there.

And neither would the idiots who would vote for the bullshitter and liar.

[C_U_L8R]

10. More for them, less for you

greedy fckrs

[JoePhilly]

11. I saw one that said "Defend Liberty, Defeat Obama".

Can only assume the people who live there are insane.

[Initech]

12. They want to take it back to the Honeymooners era.

[Hamlette]

13. I say the same thing. Take our country back from the wingnut religious crazies.
