Ugh, not again!
Christensen: Good ol' days? Let's review
This kind of rhetoric, lauding the past through rose colored glasses, is one of the more asinine Republican talking points this time around. As many good points as this article makes, it falls short of calling this what it is, at its heart: veiled racism. Everything was not so great 'back then', and most of the improvements in society can be traced in part to government programs that improved education, roads, access to health care, social security, etc.
It's almost enough to make the 'Forward' slogan worthy.
