YOU & I ARE MEMBERS DONT DELETE JUST READ & PASS 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 & not be after feathering their own nests. They like to refer to us as senior citizens, old fogies, geezers &, 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 & our eyes & hearing are not what they once were. We have worked hard, raised our children, worshiped our God & grown old together. Yes, we are the ones some refer to as being over the hill, & 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 & science which enabled us to lead America into the technological age. Most of us remember what outhouses were, many of us w/1st-hand experience. We remember the days of telephone party-lines, 25-cent gasoline, & milk & ice being delivered to our homes. For those of you who dont know what an icebox is, today they are electric & referred to as refrigerators. A few even remember when cars were started w/a crank. Yes, we lived those days. We are probably considered old fashioned & out-dated by many. But there are a few things you need to remember before completely writing us off. We won WW II, fought in Korea & Viet Nam. We can quote The Pledge of Allegiance, & know where to place our hand while doing so. We wore the uniform of our country w/pride & lost many friends on the battlefield. We didnt fight for the Socialist States of America; we fought for the Land of the Free & the Home of the Brave. We wore different uniforms, but carried the same flag. We know the words to the Star Spangled Banner, America & America the Beautiful by heart, & 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 & we feel no obligation to apologize to anyone for America. Yes, we are old & slow these days but rest assured, we have at least one good fight left in us. We have loved this country, fought for it, & died for it, & now we are going to save it. It is our country & nobody is going to take it away from us. We took oaths to defend America against all enemies, foreign & domestic, & 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 & the Democratic Congress. You fell for the Hope & Change which in reality was nothing but Hype & Lies. You have tasted socialism & seen evil face to face, & have found you dont 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 & voting. Many of those who fell for the Great Lie in 2008 & 2012 are now having buyers remorse. With all the education we gave you, you didnt have sense enough to see thru the lies & instead drank the Kool-Aid. Now youre paying the price & complaining about it. No jobs, lost mortgages, higher taxes & less freedom. This is what you voted for & this is what you got. We entrusted you w/the Torch of Liberty & you traded it for a paycheck & a fancy house. Well, dont worry youngsters, the Grey-Haired Brigade is here, & in 2014 we are going to take back our nation. We may drive a little slower than you would like but we get where were going, & in 2014 were going to the polls by the millions. I will circulate this to other Gray-Haired Geezers all over this once great county. This land does not belong to the man in the White House nor to the likes of Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid. It belongs to We the People & We the People plan to reclaim our land & our freedom. We hope this time you will do a better job of preserving it & 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, & thank God for the old geezers of the Grey-Haired Brigade.
