Do you mean the right left wing?

Does the right wing know what the left wing is doing?

Don't ask George Bush... he don't have a wing or a prayer or a heart. And, yeah, I know that is out of date... in a way.

How many credits do I get, Bobert?

i am reminded of a line from wait wait don't tell me, when someone said that the democrats want to go back in time to undo the Bush era, while the republicans wanted to go back a little further and undo the Enlightenment.

Does that address the question?

"...what year would be the perfect year for the right wing to take American back???"

You mean "take back" or "take back TO"?

They might "take back" in 2020 if Obama's successor falters...

I suspect they'd like to 'take us back' to 1856, where the rules favored racism and limited voting rights.... well, maybe they'd be happy with 1928.

1828???

Wasn't that the year that Martin van Buren quit as VP over states rights... No, I think it was '29... Jackson should have taken out his sword and chopped van Buren into little pieces and it might have avoided the Civil (which it wasn't) War...

I believe you're thinking of John C. Calhoun, Jackson's first VP, who broke with Jackson over nullification. (South Carolina passed a law nullifying federal tariffs and Jackson sent warships into Charleston Harbor) It was Van Buren who replaced Calhoun as Jackson's VP in his second term. Jackson once said his only regret was that he didn't hang Henry Clay and shoot John C. Calhoun. Calhoun died in 1850 but his writings and speechifying in defense of slavery and state's rights were instrumental in pushing the South toward secession.

Since my analysis shows that the Righties, beginning about midway in Shrub's first term, have replicated almost identically the same plan used in Europe beginning in about 1938, it must be presumed that they're already a little behind schedule.

Knowing that the Vatican sent a representative to the annual birthday party every year for six years after that kickoff (purely as a time reference - I'd cite a different reference if anyone else had gone to the party), and the "party" sort of ended fairly soon after that, we do seem to lack any "resolution" of the sort that happened with that earlier experiment, although there do seem to be attempts to continue with the plan.

Sometime in the 1950s, when everything was sweet and Mom worked at home making cookies and having babies and Daddy come home from his good job and everybody went to church all dressed up in their best and Godless Commies were to blame.

1950s? Nah! That's when the interstate highway system and NASA were created. No way the current Republican bunch would ever appropriate funds for projects on the scale of either of those.

Actually, if we WERE restored to some year in distant past (oh, say 1350) you and I would probably be peasants, grubbing out our lives to pay the Lord of the Manor our tax, the King our tax, the Church our tithe, and still have enough left to live on if we hadn't already died of the plague, been slain by some passing soldier, been raped by other passing soldiers, or croaked due any one of a number of other causes.

And so would both sides of the aisle. Most people were NOT kings, princes, queens, bishops, popes, or princesses. Most people were peasant, grubbing in the earth for enough to eat and hoping that the next gang of marauding mercenaries wouldn't plunder, burn or rape TOO much.

The commies were to blame for the idyllic 1950's? Have I missed something?

I vote for Geoff the Duck's year. I think the bankers jumping out of tall buildings should be celebrated in kind right now. I know they won't just jump so I volunteer to be a pusher. It don't have to be just bankers. It could be corporate and political tax avoiders and evaders. It could be a kind of a new folk tradition. We can do it every year on October 24th. The righties love tradition don't they?

1919. wages were around 5 cents an hour for a worker, and women couldn't vote.
