Take America Back

[paints]

I hear politicians say that a lot.

I don't get what they mean.

Back from whom? Back to where? Back to what?

[Sendmicheck]

Sorry, do not know much about politics.

Back to where it used to be before Obama started taking our freedoms away one by one.

Oh, so it's code, like Lee Attwaters' Southern Strategy?

That's just politician speak. They have other lines that they've been spewing for years. They need to be more creative in how they speak as a lot of them aren't relatable to regular American people.

I always see it as meaning our freedoms being restored rather than being slowly taken away.   

I would like it to remain "America the Beautiful."

All it means is to take America back from the destruction of the Left or liberals policy.

It's about being able to be remembered, "Take America Back" is relatable. Everyone relates to their own youth...better times...It's a slogan that people relate to in their own way.

I always thought it meant either going back to older ways or working to end crime.

[paints]

So basically, it means whatever the listener wants it mean...which tells me it doesn't mean anything.
It's just another empty slogan to get elected.

We have lost some of the American Way of life. Expenses are out of control. We need to rein in the spending. Maybe that is what they mean by Taking America Back. Government wants to control way to much of our lives.BMaston12

I do not follow politics as closely and as often as I should, but I too believe that "Take America Back" means to restore it to what it was prior to Obama taking office. I wish they could have restored the country to before Bush, Jr. took office. Of course, 9/11 shattered that completely. But it is not completely late.

I just wish that those responsible for running our country would stop trying to be the Global Police and getting involved in the affairs of other countries when, domestically speaking, we have massive unemployment, death, school shootings, and everything else to deal with.

Take America Back from the politicians.

Back to where it used to be before Obama started taking our freedoms away one by one. 

I cant believe everyone hates our recent president. What has he done so wrong. He has taken care of the things that no other president has done. The took our towers down and where was bush nowhere Obama came in and did what he said he was going to do. Took out Osama and Sadaam. What will Trump do if he becomes President ? Thats a Joke. That's right I am a true Democrat.

The founders of this country were liberals.  Radicals, even.
