But some used the open question to criticize the current administration.

"...It’s about a huge cohort of old people who are scared and resentful that privileges they once took for granted..." Like being drafted into Foreign Wars and having to fight for one's country and family?

It’s a trick question. Different eras highlighted different virtues. I would say between the end of Jim Crow and the start of the welfare state for Negro citizens, but earlier times for some other citizens. Faith had a huge part in it. And it will have to have one for any future resurgence. Maybe the gay bee was the thing America needed in its bustle to finally get serious again. The devil can and will eat our lunch if allowed. “Put your hand in the hand of the Man Who stilled the waters....”

A rather transparent Alinsky trap. Whatever "time" someone picks thinking of something good, Ron Howard will pick something bad that happened at the same time and say "that's what YOU want!"

Thanks for showing your dark side, Howard.

Hay Opie , the USA was peaking about the same time you were getting peak a boo lessons from GOMER ,

No wait it was when you were telling the Fonz to sit on it...

The 50’S, 60’S, even the 70’S were a hundred times better than this. Not my problem if Opie’s lost his memory.

Guess he forgot about the time as a kid he spent on “The Andy Griffith Show.”

From 1942 to 1965. Successive administrations of LBJ, Nixon/Ford and Carter brought America to it’s knees by 1980.

‘When was America at its greatest?’ Certainly not while the bonafide communist that he and Andy Griffith endorsed via a television ad was twice elected president. It was really hard to watch for any fan of the 60s show.

My answer to Ron the leftist is pretty much anytime between 1776 and say 1960 when kennedy was elected and leftists started in earnest to destroy the country. However, lots of work was done earlier by other leftists like Presidents wilson and roosevelt that allowed the hippie leftists in the 60s to really go to work destroying the foundations of society.

Maybe until Nov 7, 1963. The Kennedy assassination did seem to goober a lot of things up. If JFK were alive today, he’d be considered a conservative.

In my lifetime, the 1980s seemed pretty great. The culmination (vindication) of the Reagan era was when the Berlin Wall fell and our lopsided victory in Gulf War I. Unfortunately, winning the Cold War gave us a sense of security that opened the door to the Clintons, SJWs, Socialism, and cultural Marxism.

Can you tell me an era that reflects the ‘Again’ that you hope to return to? (A Ron Howard "tweet.")

Yes, I can. It was between 1948 and 1949; The Berlin Airlift.

American and Allied pilots broke the Soviet blockade of East Berlin, Germany.

It has been called "America's Finest Hour."

The day before the Kennedy assassination. Afterwards we got heavily involved in Vietnam, forced our black population onto the government plantation and soon afterwards started murdering babies.

When was America Great? I believe it was when Hollywood was American, not a bunch of a—holes who hates America. Ron, you need to get out into FLYOVER COUNTRY. You might see Mayberry.
