I find the entire concept of "take our X back" disgusting. Every time I see this slogan, I want to ask these questions:
Why does X rightfully belong to you, instead of the people who were chosen in fair, democratic elections to have it?
Why isn't X just as much mine, or anyone else's who doesn't currently have it?
Who died and made you the king of X?
When you say "take back X", did you mean "take it back 200 years?" Because that's what your platform suggests.
Do you mean "take" like Barack Obama in 2008, or like Fidel Castro in 1959?
How you can take X "back" when you never had it in the first place?
Granted, that's the least of the problems with this particular site. But I find this bile-inducing phrase worming its way into mainstream discussion, and it creeps me out. It betrays a group that wants power, doesn't care how it gets it, and is unaware of its own history.
