It's such a generalized term, that's why it appeals to so many 'intellectuals' on the right.

Time to take our country back... to like it was how in the 1950's, it'll be like Leave it to Beaver again and there are no uppity minorities and women know their rightful place.

Time to take our country back... away from the pot-smoking, flag-burning, Trotskyist pinko liberal servants of the USSR.

Time to take our country back... from the homosexuals who think they should have the same rights as us.

Time to take our country back... to the time before some foreign born Muslim black man was President.
