Michelle Bachmann, in her announcement that she's now a candidate for president, used one of the phrases that, if I were president, I'd appoint a commission to ban.
"Take the Country Back." Or, usually, "TAKE THE COUNTRY BACK!!!"
Someone out there...please tell me. Who does she want to take the country back, uh, from?
That phrase scares me a bit, to be perfectly truthful. It sounds like something the head of an army would say before people start disappearing. Something that Stalin would have said in 1937.
Of course, where you stand on the phrase depends on where you sit. The religious right wants to take the country back from people that have criminalized saying "Merry Christmas." (How many people have been put in jail because of it?) Or, they want to take the country back from poeple that don't believe in Jesus.
Liberals want to take the country back from dittoheads and Glenn Beck, who have created a "conserva-industry." I'm surprised no one has come out with a mayonaisse that "is now 30% more conservative!!"
I want to take the country back from people who simply don't think, can't think, or think that thinking is overrated. What do you think of that?
