FOX News ^ | June 14, 2018

Ron Howard has one question on his mind, and it has nothing to with his latest film, “Solo: A Star Wars Story.”

“Honest question to #MAGA minders,” the 64-year-old tweeted Thursday. “When was America at its greatest? Can you tell me an era that reflects the ‘Again’ that you hope to return to?”

The Oscar-winning filmmaker and former “Happy Days” actor quickly started a conversation with users who had different opinions of President Trump’s famous slogan.

Pre-Great Society

The Great Society (also known as the War on Poverty) is a set of programs instituted by President Lyndon B. Johnson and its associated legislation passed by Congress in an effort to combat poverty. It was criticized extensively by conservatives because it expanded the welfare system and increased citizen dependency on the government. (conservapedia)

Dear Mr. Howard,

Now. While we know what President Trump means, a time when we assumed we lived by our Constitution, some time in his lifetime, we also know we didn’t. We were fooled.

So you know your question is super clever, because no matter what year or era people name, you can find something negative to share about it. Cute, aren’t you?

But we want to make America Constitutional for real.

Now is a good time.

Now, we finally understand that whole industries hide their sick power over people. No matter how important a person in said Industry was, he hid his colleagues’ evil deeds.

Maybe these powerful people had gone through it themselves and understood child rape to be a rite of passage. But only now can we finally make America great for real, by refusing to Stand By Rapists, whoops, sorry there, any longer.

1964-65 is about right

No hippies yet, no drug culture, no urban riots, Mexico was still a normal country, everything was still made in America, and Ted Kennedy hadn’t started mass-importing foreigners yet

Yep! In my lifetime it was 1980-88. I’ll even go so far as to say Bush 1 until the end of Gulf War 1.

Stay in you lane, Ron. You’ve been very successful, and many people like you. Stay out of this. Please do not spoil our admiration for your talents by spewing hate on our president. Don’t be like Sally Field (her remarks to Samantha Bee) or Bobby DeNiro (aka Punchy). Don’t be so eager to smash our dated image of you. Go home, count all your Gold Coins, including the old German Krugerrands , and give praise to The Lord for your good fortune.

Be careful, the question could be a trap. Any time frame you pick will be associated with something the SJW’s don’t like and will use it to smear you.

Last century the 1940s and the 1980s.

This one? We are in the midst of it.

Dam Bushes got us into two wars. The first one I could agree with, the second I could agree with Afghanistan. But, we might not have had the second if Pappa would have let them finish the job right then and there.

When America dissed Hillary Rodham Clinton and sent her to the curb with the rest of the garbage.

America will always rise to the correct challenge.

Didn't the Chevy small block come out in '54?

"Production of the original small-block began in the fall of 1954 for the 1955 model year "
