Are we old geezers? Hmmm, just read 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.

  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 worked hard, raised our children, worshiped our God and grown old
together.

  In school we studied English, history, math, and science which enabled us
to lead America
  into the technological age.

  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.

  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."

  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.

  Well, don't worry youngsters, the Grey-Haired Brigade is here and in 2016
we are going to
  take back our nation. We may drive a little slower than you would like but
we get to where
  we're going and in 2016 we're going to the polls by the millions.

  This land does not belong to the man in the White House. 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
  "Gray-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.

  You and I are Members, don't Delete, just read and  pass it on.

Ben Carson has gathered wisdom into his person ... Thx Paul C!

Subject: FW: WHY BEN CARSON WAS RIGHT

Facts are Facts 

I want adults and children to understand this regarding MUSLIMS. 

CAN MUSLIMS BE GOOD AMERICANS? 

This is very interesting and we all need to read it from start to 

finish. And send it on to everyone. Maybe this is why our American 

Muslims are so quiet and not speaking out about any atrocities. 

Can a good Muslim be a good American? 

Theologically - no. 

Because his allegiance is to Allah, The moon god of Arabia. 

Religiously - no. 

Because no other religion is accepted by his Allah except Islam. 

(Quran,2:256)(Koran) 

Scripturally - no. 

Because his allegiance is to the five Pillars of Islam and the Quran. 

Geographically - no. 

Because his allegiance is to Mecca, to which he turns in prayer five 

times a day. 

Socially - no. 

Because his allegiance to Islam forbids him to make friends with 

Christians or Jews. 

Politically - no. 

Because he must submit to the mullahs (spiritual leaders), who teach 

annihilation of Israel and destruction of America, the great Satan. 

Domestically - no. 

Because he is instructed to marry four women and beat and scourge his 

wife when she disobeys him. 

(Quran 4:34) 

Intellectually - no. 

Because he cannot accept the American Constitution since it is based on 

Biblical principles and he believes the Bible to be corrupt. 

Philosophically - no. 

Because Islam, Muhammad, and the Quran do not allow freedom of religion 

and expression. Democracy and Islam cannot co-exist. Every Muslim 

government is either dictatorial or autocratic. 

Spiritually - no. 

Because when we declare 'one nation under 

God,' The Christian's God is loving and kind, while Allah is NEVER 

referred to as Heavenly father, nor is he ever called love in the 

Quran's 99 excellent names. 

Therefore, after much study and deliberation...Perhaps we should be 

very suspicious of ALL MUSLIMS in this country. They obviously cannot 

be both 'good' Muslims and 'good' Americans. Call it what you wish, 

it's still the truth. You had better believe it. The more who 

understand this, the better it will be for our country and our future. 

The religious war is bigger than we know or understand! 

Footnote: 

The Muslims have said they will destroy us from within. 

SO FREEDOM IS NOT FREE. 

The Military wants this message to roll all over the U.S.

I have a job ... Thx Judi C!

                                                                                   I have a job.

                                                                                                                                                                                 I work, they pay me.

 

I pay my taxes & the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit.

 

In order to get that paycheck, in my case, I am required to pass a random urine test
(with which I have no problem).

 

 

What I do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes
To people who don't have to pass a urine test.

 

 

So, here is my question:
Shouldn't one have to pass a urine test to get a welfare check -
because I have to pass one to earn it for them?

 

Please understand, I have no problem with helping people get back on their feet.
I do, on the other hand, have a problem with helping someone sitting on their BUTT----doing drugs while I work..

Can you imagine how much money each state would save
If people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance check?

I guess we could call the program

 

"URINE" OR "YOU'RE OUT"!

 

Pass this along if you agree or simply delete if you don't.
Hope you all will pass it along, though.
Something has to change in this country -
AND SOON!

P.S. Just a thought, all politicians should have to pass a urine test too!
They should also have to pass -

1. an intelligence test,
2. a common sense test and
3. an understanding of the constitution 

 

Any 1 of of those 3 would severely limit the government -
the imposition of all 3 combined would depopulate DC.
Not saying that'd  be a bad thing, now

Joint Chief of Staff Marione Resigns ... Thx Tom Q!

Subject: Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff resigns & why!

 

 

This is absolutely another reason to hope the next president has guts enough to fix what this administration has nearly destroyed !!   (This is a very explicit, disturbing event, and it is very good to have a person like General Joseph F. Dunford, Jr, Chairman JCS, U.S. Marine Corps willing to speak out about the problems of our Military brought on by this Administration!  (RRG)(BK)   Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, in concern for the lives of current and future US military personnel and to honor those who have gone before, I must speak to the nation today. I’ve called this press conference to announce that I am resigning as the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and I am retiring after 39 years on active duty, which included combat service in Iraq leading the finest Marines in the world. I am resigning as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and retiring from the Marine Corps for the following reasons: For the last seven years during the Obama Administration: I have watched and remained silent as hundreds of senior officers were forced to resign or were forcibly retired because of their disagreements with the current policies wrecking the military. I have watched and remained silent as people who have never served a day in uniform laid siege to the glorious traditions of the US military. I have watched and remained silent as male ROTC cadets paraded in red high heels, male soldiers conducted physical training wearing pregnancy simulators, combat units dealt with breastfeeding and lactation issues in the field and sensitivity training became the standard operating procedure of the US military. I have watched and remained silent as trans-genders were authorized to serve in the ranks, and three females graduated from the US Army Ranger School, under what I believe are the most dubious of circumstances. My predecessors in the JCS chose to look the other way, and like Pontius Pilate, wash their hands of these egregious affairs. My predecessors in the JCS were more concerned about their careers than about the welfare of the nation and the troops they led every day. Now the final nail in the coffin of the US military has been hammered in. On April 1, 2016, Secretary of Defense Ash Carter, with the full backing of the President of the United States, authorized the legal inclusion of women in the combat arms branches and special operations units of the United States Armed Forces. In good conscience, I can no longer remain silent. The stakes are too high for this nation and for the women in the US military who, I believe will be greatly harmed by their inclusion in the combat arms and special operations. I can no longer watch the US military be annihilated. While many have chosen to sit on the sidelines, I must step forth and report to the nation concerning the mortal danger the US military is in tonightbecause of its commander in chief, President Barack Obama and his cabinet and advisers. The evidence against women in direct combat from the Center for Military Readiness and the Marine Corps’ 36 million dollar, 9-month study and the performance of women at the Marine Infantry Officers Basic Course is overwhelming. Yet, the President, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of the Navy and the Secretary of the Army refuse to acknowledge that the evidence even exists. It does exist and it indicates that while women perform spectacularly in 80% of the jobs in the military, the combat arms and special operations should be closed to them; permanently. Women are simply prone to more injuries than men, have less muscle mass, do not have the upper body strength, the same aerobic lung capacity and the aggressiveness to fulfill the military’s combat readiness requirements and missions. The so-called experts often say that women have already served in combat. In the last two conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, females did engage the enemy and many performed heroically and beyond the call of duty. But, returning fire during a military police security operation is not the same as being in a combat arms unit that has the mission of finding, fixing and killing the enemy. That is like comparing Pop Warner Football with the NFL. Reality says that women serving in the combat arms and special operations is not just a bad idea, but a horrific decision that puts this nation in mortal danger. The President and the Secretary of Defense are not dealing with reality, but with a feminist-based fantasy based on false premises of gender neutrality. They see the world the way they want it to be, not the way it is. These policies are based on the illusion that genders are neutral and that none of this will affect the military’s readiness, esprit de corps and ability to wage and win wars. There is no gender neutrality on a battlefield. It is the responsibility of America’s military leaders to protect the nation and to obey the lawful orders of those appointed above us. But, our military leaders are not martinets. There is no Fuehrerprinzip in America. An order is not just an order. The nation’s military leaders have a moral duty to inform our elected officials when policies they support and implement are destructive to the nation itself. Silence is not golden. It is pure and unadulterated moral cowardice. Congress also has a duty to protect the nation and to insure that the military is strong and readiness is maintained. On the issue of women in combat, Congress has been full of sound and fury, while signifying nothing. Except for a few concerned veterans like Senator John McCain and Congressman Duncan Hunter, Congress has remained silent because a majority of Congress has never served and is largely ignorant of the issue itself. I cannot in good conscience promote policies that will order American women, ages 18 – 26 to register and be eligible for a military draft which could place them in combat arms units in wartime. I cannot in good conscience serve as the highest ranking military member of the US military, when I am completely at odds with the social engineering directives emanating from the Secretary of Defense and the President. The military has one sole mission. That is to wage war and to vanquish the enemies of this nation on land, on the seas and in the air. It must never be used as a social engineering project by naïve and uninformed politicians and lobbyists. As the military prepares for this cataclysmic change, the enemies of this nation are lining up against us. They know that this is a lose, lose situation for us and a win, win situation for them. They know that we are now going to wage war with a much weaker force and that our readiness is withering by the hour. It is very possible that the United States of America may never win another war. I do not believe this is hyperbole. I believe this is a fact. The fate of the republic hangs in mortal jeopardy. I pray that my successor and a new President elected in 2016 have the courage and the wisdom to amend the policies that might very well destroy this great nation I have served for nearly four decades. I bid you farewell. Semper Fi.
