- 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 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 and ice being delivered to our homes. For those of you who don't know
- what an icebox is, today they are electric and referred to as refrigerators.
- A few even remember when cars 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 'Cool-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.

Astonishing!
Are you going to tell me, with a straight face, that the nation that can put a man on the moon can not design, implement, and enforce an accounting system with document and cash controls?

GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTING SYSTEMS: DEFECTIVE AND DECEPTIVE BY DESIGN Posted: 04 Apr 2014 05:44 PM PDT Are you going to tell me, with a straight face, that the nation that can put a man on the moon can not design, implement, and enforce an accounting system with document and cash controls? Where does it all go? Some of the missing money, of course, goes to support the outrageous lifestyles and other activities of wealthy, politically-connected government contractors, many of whom are used to providing campaign funding for politicians and jobs for relatives, friends, and other supporters. Some of the missing money is given to corrupt individuals and governments to purchase desirable political outcomes for the politicians – and not necessarily for the United States or the United States taxpayer. Rewarded for corruption and incompetence … The one thing you never see is budget reductions by the amount of waste, fraud, and abuse that is detected by the auditors, and, only in the most egregious media-worthy cases do you see individuals prosecuted, people fired, and corrupt departments eliminated. Because of the corrupt budgeting process and arcane program rules put in place by a bought-and-paid for legislature, corrupt entities are rewarded with additional funds based on those that were lost due to fraud, waste, and abuse. Bottom line… The entire budgeting process is corrupt, made more so by the corrupt politicians than pander to the special interests in order to secure campaign funding and voter support. Unfortunately, if you do not bring home pork to your district to be distributed to the entities connect to the unions and other special interests, you are replaced by an even greater corrupt elected official. While I would love to point out the profligate spending of President Obama and his cadre of progressive socialist democrats, I cannot help but mention the profligate spending of former President George Bush and his cadre of crony capitalists who were every bit as ideological toward capitalism as Obama’s people are toward socialism. Unless things change and politicians and government workers are held to account, we are screwed! And, screwed big time. -- steve |

Gun Owner Shot Multiple Times, Fights Off Home Invaders With .22, Drives Himself to Get Help Posted: 04 Apr 2014 01:41 PM PDT If you’re ever involved in a defensive gun use, the most important thing is not to get shot. Unfortunately, Jeff Gegelman of rural Golden Valley, ND was unable to avoid that during a home invasion. Two men kicked in Gegelman’s door as a third suspect remained in the car parked in Gegelman’s yard. According to […] |
[Video] Chicago’s Murder Rate Drops to 50 Year Low Following Implementation of Concealed Carry Posted: 04 Apr 2014 11:21 AM PDT Personally, I think it’s a little too soon to credit this news to Illinois’ new concealed carry laws, however, it is an interesting data point. According to the Chicago PD, the first quarter murder rate in the city was at its lowest point since 1958. According to ABC News, The first three months of the […] |
Ohio: Suppressor Bill Passes House, Goes to Senate Posted: 04 Apr 2014 10:50 AM PDT The following story is from the NRA-ILA and represents one of several bills being considered by multiple states to expand the legality and use of sound suppressors on firearms. Yesterday, the Ohio House of Representatives passed House Bill 234 by a 76 to 15 vote. HB 234 will now be sent to the state Senate where it awaits […] |
[Video] Ft. Hood Survivor: ‘More Guns’ Would Have Prevented Latest Shootings Posted: 04 Apr 2014 10:45 AM PDT Retired Sgt. Alonzo Lunsford was at Fort Hood during the 2009 mass shooting there. He was actually shot 7 times, but survived. You might think that such an experience would leave someone with a bad taste in their mouth regarding guns. However, just the opposite is true for Lunsford. In a recent interview with MSNBC […] |
[Video] NRA Releases Great Video About Anti-Gun Senator Who Was Arrested for Arms Trafficking Posted: 04 Apr 2014 09:59 AM PDT Hopefully you’ve heard by now, but if not, an anti-gun state senator in California, Leland Yee, was arrested for arms trafficking late last month. Yee has had a hand in many of California’s recent gun control bills and was one of the politicians pushing to regulate 3D printing technology. NRA News’ Ginny Simone takes a […] |

- HYPOCRITE HILLARY CLINTON DOES ORWELL: CLAIMS PARTISANSHIP IS TAKING US BACKWARDS
- MOZILLA LYING ABOUT BEING DIFFERENT: THEY ARE LIKE EVERY OTHER POLITICALLY CORRECT FOOL IN DISRESPECTING FREEDOM, LIBERTY, AND THE RIGHTS OF THE MAJORITY
FOR ALL THE HYPERSENSITIVE HYPOCRITES: GOVERNMENT MANDATES WARNING ON ALL COMMUNICATIONS Posted: 04 Apr 2014 03:34 PM PDT If the progressive socialist democrats in the Obama Administration had their way, the world would be a much safer place because every private communication would come with a warning label … Of course, you think this is a joke, don’t you?
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder? There is little or no doubt in my mind that America is being coerced into becoming a nation of pasty-faced wussies unable to defend themselves against aggressors that challenge their existence and want them to accept tyrannical subservience as a condition for their safety and security. If little boys do not act like polite little girls, their behavior is criminalized and they are sentenced to being medicated into compliance – medication that is rapidly producing a nation of teenagers with no impulse control. Add the profitable purveyors of pornography, violent video games, demeaning rap/hip-hop gangsta’ culture lyrics, and no adult supervision and you have a generation of medicated psychopaths with no moral compass. There is also little or no doubt in my mind that the progressive socialist democrats are wreaking havoc on America and Americans with their political correctness, multiculturalism, and moral equivalency. All to reduce us to “population units” to be managed by an enlightened elite for the benefit of all society. Socialist and communist propaganda touting an ideology that has never worked and cannot work – especially given the parameters of human nature that produces leaders and followers, winners and losers, and producers and takers. I can understand Post Traumatic Stress Disorder in those who are exposed to true stress, but have no regard for the progressive socialist democrat wussies who want you to believe that you must be protected from an insensitive remark or discussion. You do not live your life in a sheltered cocoon, so why would you support this progressive nonsense. Bottom line … It is time to promote individualism over collectivism, strength over weakness, exceptionalism over mediocrity, and most of all, a resilience and a will to excel in a non-socialist world where we are all dumbed down to the point that we think sharing misery is normal. In essence, the Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi’s worldview. We have an election coming and you have a choice. Thrive or be managed to death. -- steve | |
HYPOCRITE HILLARY CLINTON DOES ORWELL: CLAIMS PARTISANSHIP IS TAKING US BACKWARDS Posted: 04 Apr 2014 02:19 PM PDT You can’t make this stuff up. Speaking at the Women in the World summit, Clinton was quoted by the Associated Press as saying …
The sheer hypocrisy of Hillary Clinton is beyond belief.
Bottom line … Hillary Clinton and her cadre of progressive socialist democrats are a clear and present danger to a free and prosperous America. It is likely that she will follow the ideological path toward socialism as pursued by President Barack Obama as well as stealing the nation blind with “wink, wink” contributions flowing into the various Clinton enterprises. No more Bushes, No more Clintons, No more Kennedys. Restore America’s national defense capabilities, prosperity, and standing in the world. Throw Hillary Clinton on the ash heap of history where she belongs. -- steve | |
Posted: 04 Apr 2014 01:48 PM PDT Tyranny by the minority … I can understand when a chief executive officer is forced to step down because they have committed a crime, greatly disadvantaged an organization with bad managerial actions and/or lack of vision, or promotes dissent in the organization that impairs day-to-day functioning. But, to be forced out because you have done nothing illegal other than to offend a highly vocal minority of gay activists who want you to accept their condition and in-your-face lifestyle as being mainstream normal is where you must draw the line. You do not excuse bad behavior with other bad behavior. Or in this case, compound bad behavior on the part of the homosexual activists by engaging in other bad behavior of forcing your CEO out the door. Mozilla is lying … [My comments in blue italic]
Bottom line … Enough with the progressive socialist democrats and their political correctness, multiculturalism, and moral equivalency. Proposition 8 was legally passed by a majority of Californians. It was overturned by a homosexual judge who should have recused himself for bias and a conflict of interest. The fact that California’s State Attorney General did not defend a legally passed law in a higher court is also objectionable and points to the corruption of the progressive socialist democrats in charge of the formerly golden State of California. It is time to fight back against the minority activists who want to turn the majority’s rights upside down in favor of their own perverted view of justice and liberty. Everyone should respect equality under the law and have equal rights under the law. Marriage, by definition, is a civil commitment recognized by the State. All laws should be applied equitably and fairly with respect to spousal privileges. And, the word marriage should be reserved for its original and traditional intent: a union of a man and a woman. Think about what Mozilla has done – the have forced their CEO out over a non-issue that has no place in the creation and administration of the digital world. A world that should be as equal as all of the bits flowing through a pipeline. In essence, network neutrality for all sexual bits. Because in the digital world, there are no gay bits, black bits, Hispanic bits, or any other type of bits. Or as a pundit once said: bits are bits. PERIOD! -- steve |
