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

I say the “Perfect” year in American History was 1955.

I'll agree with that. Salk vaccine was licensed that year too!

Where children walked to school without any fear.
Where imagination turned a stick into a rifle.
Where the work ethic was learned from your father and mother.
Where kids rode bikes without safety gear.\
Where we rode in the back of pickups without having an accident.
Where we drove cars with no seat belts.
Where lawsuits were rarely filed in frivolous fashion.
Where dad was the boss and mom was your angel.
There are just too many to name that have vanished from our history due to the blameless society and the fear mongering done today.

Well, we did call the Drive-in the “Passion Pit” but it was kissy face (plus) but not “love’s consummation!”
Good list. Did you send the letter?

I vividly recall when you travel you’d throw your paper cups and trash out the window. It got so bad that they started a slogan campaign, and I think the winner was “Don’t Be a Litter Bug.” It was us kids that were mad at the grown ups. It didn’t take long, and the NOBODY threw garbage out the window.

This is great!

[trisham]

Amen to that.

My first vote ever was for Nixon. A big disappointment. Boy, was I overjoyed when he left the WH. The disappointment still lingers all these years. Ever opptimistic, I am a TRUMP fan and have hope that he can bring out the best in US.

[AFreeBird]

That too.

[AFreeBird]

LOL!

Hillary wants to go back to Bill’s presidency and his management of the economy.

AT THE RIPE OLE AGE OF 70 I REMEMBER THOSE GRAND OLD DAYS ,,,a much smaller central govt. ,, no P/C ,, balanced budgets , Prayer , pledge of allegiance , no unions in public schools corrupting young minds , parents were allowed to freely raise their children , gays , lezzies , and trannies were in the closet where they belonged and reason and logic prevailed . Yes ,,, they were the best days of my memories and before I forget the Dem party were the advocates of segregation a divisiveness .

Yes, I remember it well and miss it.

I am still proud of my vote for Nixon over McGovern.

“When a girl could still cook, and still would.”

I’m 40. Never in my life have I experienced this. I took home-ec in middle school and use those skills everyday. I learned to sew (I still do) I learned to make a meal with about $1 worth of ingredients, and I learned to balance a budget in that class. I even learned how to prepare venison from a carcass - And this was in Connecticut, not in Pennsylvania where I also attended school.

Nixon was a pretty liberal President, only difference between him and McGovern, was that McGovern wasn’t on HUAC.

[factual person]

Up on the Roof was written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King, not anyone from Motown or related to Motown. And the Drifters never recorded for Motown. But keep living in your fantasy. Facts rarely matter to people who live in the past.

When we rushed home from school to watch American Bandstand on black & white TV!

Great memories from everything listed.
Also 21¢ per gallon gasoline.

My liberal friends have been saying that the (Make America Great Again) theme is code for lets go back to the time when we were OK with racism. This is the real message of Hillary’s speech.

I believe she did put her foot in her mouth because Trump does not have a racist bone in his body. (His career practices demonstrate this.)

Continuing down this path will backfire badly.

And only jazz musicians were smoking marijuana.
