PRG
YOU & I ARE MEMBERS, DON'T
DELETE!
THIS IS WORTH READING TO THE END. PLEDGE TO JOIN THIS 'GREY
BRIGADE'
WE CAN MAKE THE DIFFERENCE!! PASS IT
ON!!!
The typical
U.S. household headed by a person age 65 or older has a net
worth 47 times
greater than a household headed by someone under 35,
according to an
analysis of census data released Monday. If all of us
old farts have all of
the money, then let us try to elect someone who
might be near honest and
not be after feathering their own nests.
They like to refer to us as
senior citizens, old fogies, geezers, and in
some cases dinosaurs. Some of
us are "Baby Boomers" getting ready to
retire. Others have been retired for
some time. We walk a little
slower these days and our eyes and hearing are
not what they once
were. We have worked hard, raised our children,
worshiped our God and
grown old together. Yes, we are the ones some refer
to as being over
the hill, and that is probably true. But before writing us
off
completely, there are a few things that need to be taken
into
consideration.
In school we studied English, history, math, and
science which enabled us
to lead America into the technological age. Most
of us remember what
outhouses were, many of us with firsthand experience.
We remember the
days of telephone party-lines, 25 cent gasoline, and milk
being
delivered .A few even remember when cars,tractors and trucks
were
started with a crank. Yes, we lived those days.
We are probably
considered old fashioned and out-dated by many. But there
are a few things
you need to remember before completely writing us
off. We won World War II,
fought in Korea and Viet Nam . We can quote
The Pledge of Allegiance, and
know where to place our hand while doing
so. We wore the uniform of our
country with pride and lost many
friends on the battlefield. We didn't
fight for the Socialist States
of America ; we fought for the "Land of the
Free and the Home of the
Brave." We wore different uniforms but carried the
same flag. We know
the words to the Star Spangled Banner, America , and
America the
Beautiful by heart, and you may even see some tears running
down our
cheeks as we sing. We have lived what many of you have only read
in
history books and we feel no obligation to apologize to anyone
for
America ..
Yes, we are old and slow these days but rest assured,
we have at least one
good fight left in us. We have loved this country,
fought for it, and
died for it, and now we are going to save it. It is our
country and
nobody is going to take it away from us. We took oaths to
defend
America against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and that is an
oath
we plan to keep. There are those who want to destroy this land we
love
but, like our founders, there is no way we are going to remain
silent.
It was mostly the young people of this nation who elected Obama
and the
Democratic Congress. You fell for the "Hope and Change" which
in
reality was nothing but "Hype and Lies."
You have tasted
socialism and seen evil face to face, and have found you
don't like it
after all. You make a lot of noise, but most are all too
interested in
their careers or "Climbing the Social Ladder" to be
involved in such
mundane things as patriotism and voting. Many of
those who fell for the
"Great Lie" in 2008 are now having buyer's
remorse. With all the education
we gave you, you didn't have sense
enough to see through the lies and
instead drank the 'Kool-Aid.' Now
you're paying the price and complaining
about it. No jobs, lost
mortgages, higher taxes, and less
freedom.
This is what you voted for and this is what you got. We
entrusted you with
the Torch of Liberty and you traded it for a paycheck
and a fancy
house.
Well, don't worry youngsters, the Grey-Haired
Brigade is here, and in 2014
we are going to take back our nation. We may
drive a little slower
than you would like but we get where we're going, and
in 2014 we're
going to the polls by the millions.
This land does not
belong to the man in the White House nor to the likes of
Nancy Pelosi and
Harry Reid. It belongs to "We the People" and "We the
People" plan to
reclaim our land and our freedom. We hope this time
you will do a better
job of preserving it and passing it along to our
grandchildren. So the next
time you have the chance to say the Pledge
of Allegiance, Stand up, put
your hand over your heart, honor our
country, and thank God for the old
geezers of the "Grey-Haired
Brigade."
Footnote:
This is spot on.
I am another Gray-Haired Geezer signing on. I will
circulate this to other
Gray-Haired Geezers all over this once great
county.
Can you feel
the ground shaking??? It's not an earthquake, it is
a
STAMPEDE.
