    I would have answered...Until you progressive creatures crawled out of the earth...

    They just don't get the evolution of human thought, behavior and world view throughout history.

      Me dino woulda said "Before socialist criminals like you came slithering along to spew your toxic slime all over it."
      Think I would add is that all this country needs is a good cleaning. Or a good cleaning out?

    To an arrogant leftist like Holder, America will never be great until EVERY American STILL ALIVE agrees with them. Ominous but, I believe, historically accurate.

    I would nominate the Cuban Crisis as an 'America is Great Moment. I, and many of my friends, really breathed a sigh of relief at the outcome.

      Me old dino lived through that too. Recall a recess at a Junior High School (what's called middle school now).with friends and I standing around and talking with grim expressions.
      Relief came with Russia choosing to back off with bringing missiles to Cuba instead of engaging in mutual nuclear destruction.
      Fortunately, as it so far plays out, even the Communist Russians had more common sense than Muslim fanatics do.
      BTW Hussein Obooboo, thanks or helping Iran out with their nuclear program with that gargantuan shipment of appeasement money. That makes you as much as a traitor as does Uranium One. Is that what you meant by saying "Tell Putin I'll have more flexibility after my reelection" over that hot mic?

      Scary times. I was just a little girl so I didn't understand much of what was going on (and I'm sure my family protected me). But I do remember everybody was on the edge of their seats.

      I was in one of the patrol squadrons which was sent to the Keys to overfly the russky ships leaving Cuba with the missiles onboard. Weekends in Key West, a sleepy tourist town at the time, made us forget why we were there. For a while.

    "We will reach greatness when every American is fully engaged..."
    If you're not making your full contribution (whatever that looks like to Cuomo), you're not a great American in his eyes.

    My thoughts on when America was truly great ...
    Here it is. San Francisco, California. April 14, 1906. A Trip Down Market Street.
    Here are 12 of the most amazingly beautiful minutes of film ever captured:
    https://youtu.be/8Q5Nur642BU
    - This is before the Federal Reserve Act.
    - This is before the Federal Income Tax.
    - This is before the First World War.
    - This is before SSDI, Food-stamps and the Welfare State.
    - This is before the Military / Media / Education Industrial Complex.

    Try to visualize this film in living color -- as if you were there walking down that street on that very day.

    Four days after this film was made, the great San Francisco Earthquake and Fire occurred ... whether or not there was fire insurance is an unknown to me. What is known, is that the people, the individuals of San Francisco rebuilt their homes, their businesses and their city.

    I am a capitalist. I sometimes think that I was born 100 years too late.

    “Capitalism was the only system in history where wealth was not acquired by looting, but by production, not by force, but by trade, the only system that stood for man's right to his own mind, to his work, to his life, to his happiness, to himself.”
    ― Ayn Rand, Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal

      That was an interesting film clip. I could imagine the colors and the smells. The apparent chaos of the traffic, human, animal and machines was amazing to see.
      Holder probably doesn't understand how his party, the progressives and their ilk, brought most of the crap on this nation(and the world) in the last 100+ years. If it were up to the leftists parties and their policies, Mr. Holder and his ancestors would still be in slavery. Think about it. Who was the party of slavery? Yep. The dims.

    As compared to what other countries?

    Germany?

    Yugoslavia? Turkey?
    Israel?

    As compared to what Mr. Holder.
    A Country that allows a Dirtbag like you to become a MILLIONAIRE?

    Since you were part of the government, Mr. Holder... And your performance was LESS THAN STELLAR... Are you suggesting that EVEN YOU Failed to make it better, but made it worse instead?

    So, in the end YOUR America has given you great wealth, and greater fame than you deserve, but it is NOT ENOUGH. because SOMEONE was left behind? Or because you are NOT IN JAIL where you belong?

    Help me out Mr. Holder...
    Because I believe LOCKING YOU UP, HRC Up, Comey, and the rest of you deep state dwellars would be a big step towards greatness...

      Wouldn't that be really great? Watching the renewal of equal justice for all, by indicting and prosecuting the obvious leftists(both sides of the aisle) criminals who have dodged the long arm of the law thus far, would go a long way to returning this naiton to the rule of law.
      We're still a great nation, just need to clean up the trash in our government. And, it has nothing to do with the POTUS, other than he had the gall to begin turning the ship of state around.
      Any doubt? Just look at the policies which the MSM ignores.

    Frederick Douglass always told his audience that he felt the United States was a great country because of the principles on which it was founded, and would become even greater as long as Americans lived by those principles. He acknowledged the shortfalls like slavery, but pointed to how the country kept overcoming those shortfalls.

    What makes us great is the fact that ours was the first nation to be created on the principle of individual freedom. That freedom has been diminished with every step toward collectivism and the crushing of individual initiative by an increasingly oppressive state. If you were to ask President Trump what his MAGA slogan meant, he would tell you it was to move away from collectivist thinking and unleash the force of free American individuals.

    If you don't know any history then you could never answer that question. However, if you do know history you could answer it by looking at the ENTIRE WORLD in March of 1775 and go from there.

    Edit add for those wondering: The "shot heard around the world" took place in Concord, Massachusetts in April 1775.

    We were great when our Founding fathers authored the most brilliant Constitution ever prepared, and it still is the pinnacle of Constitutions today.

    While comments such as this from the Left make me see RED and want to go on a rampage. I will attempt to address this from a different angle. I am going to assume that Mr. Holder has an issue with the word “Again” from the MAGA slogan. If Mr. Holder is suggesting that America has Never not been Great then I could forgive and even support his position. Since even during the worst of times America has still done great things worldwide, and while America is not, nor has it ever been Perfect. America is still by FAR the GREATEST country to have graced planet Earth so far.
    Sadly, I well know that this is not what Mr. Holder had in mind. Mr. Holder is just another creature from the DC swamp, who should be removed from ANY and ALL positions of authority. Then tried and convicted and sentenced for the many and varied crimes that he has committed against this GREAT nation.

    “It takes us back to what I think, an American past that never in fact really existed. This notion of greatness.
    You know, America has done superb things. It has done great things. And it has been a leader in you know, a whole range of things. But we are always a work in process and … looking back, ‘Make America Great Again’ is inconsistent with who we are as Americans at our best where we look at the uncertain future, embrace it and make it our own.”

    ^^Yes, exactly this.

      To me, MAGA, is a call for a return to the founding principles contained in the Constitution. It is not a look back, except to reacquaint ourselves with those papers to restablish the rule of law as put forth in our founding documents.
      Of course, that would require a purge of the educational system which is so bent on socialism and destroying this nation. For starters, anyway.

        "To me, MAGA, is a call for a return to the founding principles contained in the Constitution"
        I wish we had an inspiring communicator to promulgate that vision. We really need that now. Gary Johnson said something to the effect of "we don't have to agree on everything, if we agree on these few principles."
