NEVER FEAR - THE GRAY HAIRS ARE HERE!
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 people"
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.
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
