Hillary, I agree, "Trump's idea of making America great again, means taking America backwards."

Dear Mrs. Clinton:

I whole heartedly agree when you say, "Donald Trump's idea of making America great again, means taking America backwards." I remember that America very well. It was an America of the 50's when Trump was growing up, and so were you and so was Bernie. Did you forget?

It was a time...

When Americans had pride about themselves, and dressed nice to go out in public.

When you could leave your front doors unlocked if you wanted to and not worry about it.

When children in school learned about the history of our country and proud to say the pledge of allegiance each morning.

When people immigrated here legally and proud the day they became citizens of our country.

When marriage was between a man and a woman.

When the word gay meant happy and a joint was a bad place to be.

When socialism was a dirty word and free enterprise meant, thinking and growing rich through an idea and hard work.

When a buck was still silver.

When a girl could still cook, and still would.

When ghettos were neighborhoods with sidewalks where people mingled on warm summer nights.

When the American Flag was a respected symbol and never burned.

When criminals actually went to jail.

When you were not afraid to go out at night.

When television was free.

When people talked without cursing.

When taxes were only a necessary nuisance.

When a boy was a boy and didn't wear his pants where you could see his underwear.

When a girl was girl and dressed like one.

When almost everyone went to Church on Sunday.

When things of quality were made in America.

When clerks and repairmen tried to please you and wrapped your purchase in front of you.

When college kids swallowed goldfish, not drugs.

When a drive-in movie was a fun place to watch movies.

When people respected their elders, and said yes ma'am, no ma'am, yes sir, no sir, even after they were grown up.

When most songs had a tune and the words made sense and never vulgar.

When people expected less, and valued what they had more.

When politicians proclaimed their patriotism and meant it.

When everyone knew the difference between right and wrong.

When things were not perfect-but you did not expect them to be.

When our government stood up for Americans anywhere in the world.

When you knew that the law would be enforced and your safety protected.

When you considered yourself lucky to have a good job and proud, too.

When the law meant justice and you were in awe at the sight of a policeman.

When you were not too embarrassed to say that this is the best country.

When America was a land filled with brave, proud, hardworking people.

When the cost of energy was cheap and our factories grew.

When there was no confusion about what rest room you should use.

When the nation wasn’t trillions of dollars in debt.

When 94,000,000 people were not out of the work force.

When you usually graduated from high school or college to a good paying job.

When politicians didn't accept millions of dollars from money abroad.

When places like Detroit and Upper New York thrived.

When water was abundant in California because the people planned it that way.

When you worked for the government you didn't have to join a union.

I could go on and on and, Mrs. Clinton, because you see, I grew up then too, and I remember those times.

For example, I'm sure like all of us then, you vividly remember where you were when you learned that our president had been killed. We all changed that day.

So, I'll stop, and allow others on this forum to tell you why it would be a good thing for us to go back to a better America, the kind Donald Trump is talking about.

And let me make it clear how most of us in this country feel about your vision of America. Your vision is one that is like the past 7 years. The Obama years.

Your America offers more of the same for our future--no incentives for employers to employ, nothing other than a redistribution of our wealth and mediocrity. Your vision of America are empty words.

“When 94,000,000 people were not out of the work force. “

It’s now over 102,000,000.

Yeah. Let’s go back. People want to work.

“Trump’s Making America Great Again, may indeed take us back to better times, and that’ a good thing.”

The canned leftist freak response to that is, “Sure, right back to slavery, huh?”

The brain-dead leftist freaks sacrificed it all to support their god’s War on America.

Not a very good site, but lots of verifiable cross-links here, all together: http://beforeitsnews.com/r2/?url=http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-06-03/its-probably-nothing-jpmorgan-recession-indicators-surge-new-cycle-highs

Also see the article on 102 mm now out of work, for there are a number of good cross-links there, too.

It would be different with Hillary. Instead of redistributing wealth to Obama's friends, the government would redistribute wealth to Bill and Hillary's foundation donors.

Remember how happy everyone was with Reagan? Wow, I literally made myself cry thinking about what it was like then vs what it is like now. Yes, I do want that back.

Very nice!

That’s the world I was born into so you can imagine my depression in the world that has come upon me. But I didn’t do enough to stop it, so I am to blame as well...

Yes, with Reagan, we thought a new day had dawned. We were wrong. A man claiming he felt “our” pain showed up on the scene and we were done for.

just sayin’....it was 50 years ago that the Viet Nam War was spinning out of control. Perhaps we need to go back 55 years.

Back when a president challenged us to go to the moon in less than a decade, and the response, was: We can do that!

If the generation who grew up during the Great Depression, and then went on to fight World War II were the “Greatest Generation”, then it follows that there must have been a Worst Generation. I’d say that the Baby Boomers fit that description. They have ruined nearly everything.
