Take back our country

1. A rallying cry for people who think the United States has been "taken over" by anti-American socialists, foreigners, liberals, Marxists, minorities, etc.

The phrase is typically used by white male conservatives who oppose any type of change they perceive as a "threat" to their "way of life." Instead of providing a specific plan for improving the country or the government, they imply that the nation has been "kidnapped" by evil people who hate America and want to destroy freedom.

Unanswered questions: A) Who is "we"? B) Where do "we" want to take the country back to?

2. A phrase that implies our current government is somehow "illegitimate" despite the election of November 2008 when a majority of Americans voted for Obama and the current Congress.
ED: "We've got to take back our country. Otherwise those people in Washington will force our children to become Communist Muslim freedom-hating slaves of Obama. The rest of us will be forced to live in secret FEMA concentration camps. Just you wait and see!"

The Backdoor

place in nyack, ny where eighth graders and freshman gather and dress in scene attire while pretending they like the "hardcore" bands that play. kids in bands are usually 14-20 and are always asking if they can play one more song. girls are usually looking for someone to hookup with and guys are usually too stupid to notice or wearing tight pants and questioning their sexuality. emo kids sit in the back on chairs or in large groups of other emo kids you can spot them because they are all wearing black or have orange/green/purple/pink hair and five pounds of eyeliner on. scene kids will also have these attributes but are probably yelling "rawr dinosaur". anyone wearing an atrium shirt is probably thirteen or younger and an incredibly stupid poser.
