AARP'S FALL FROM GRACE

Wow!!!! Have you seen this?!

This letter was sent to Mr. Rand, who is the Executive Director of AARP

Dear Mr. Rand,

Recently you sent us a letter encouraging us to renew our lapsed membership in AARP by the requested date. I know this is not what you were looking for, but this is the most honest response I can give you. Our gap in coverage is merely a microscopic symptom of the real problem, which is deepening lack of faith.

While we have proudly maintained our membership for several years and have long admired the AARP goals and principles -- regrettably, we can no longer endorse AARP's abdication of our values. Your letter specifically stated that we can count on AARP to speak up for our rights; yet the voice we hear is not ours. Your offer of being kept up to date on important issues through DIVIDED WE FAIL presents neither an impartial view nor the one we have come to embrace. We do believe that when two parties agree all the time on everything presented to them, one is probably not needed. But, when the opinions and long term goals are diametrically opposed, the divorce is imminent. This is the philosophy which spawned our 200 years of government.

Once upon a time we looked forward to being part of the senior demographic. We also looked to AARP to provide certain benefits and give our voice a power we could not possibly hope to achieve on our own. AARP gave us a sense of belonging -- a sense we no longer enjoy. The Socialist politics practiced by the Obama Regime and empowered by AARP serves only to raise the very blood pressure that my medical care strives to contain -- clearly a conflict of interest there!

We do not understand the AARP posture; we feel greatly betrayed by the guiding forces that we expected to map out our senior years. We leave your ranks with a great sense of regret. We mitigate that disappointment with the relief of knowing that we are not contributing to the problem anymore by renewing our membership. There are numerous other organizations which offer discounts without threatening our way of life or offending our sensibilities.

This Obama Regime scares the living daylights out of us; not just for ourselves, but for our proud and bloodstained heritage; and even more importantly, for our children and grandchildren. Washington has rendered Soylent Green a prophetic cautionary tale rather than a nonfiction scare tactic. I have never in my life endorsed any militant or radical groups, yet now I find myself listening to them. I don’t have to agree with them to appreciate the fear which birthed their existence. Their borderline insanity presents little more than a balance to the voice of the Socialist mindset in power. Perhaps I became American by a great stroke of luck in some cosmic uterine lottery; but in my adulthood I CHOOSE to embrace it and nurture the freedoms it represents as well as the responsibilities that it requires.

Your Website generously offers us the opportunity to receive all communication in Spanish. ARE YOU KIDDING? The illegal perpetrators have broken into our 'house,' have invaded our home with not our invitation or consent. The President has insisted we keep these illegal perpetrators in comfort and learn the perpetrators' language so we can communicate our reluctant welcome to them.

I DON'T choose to welcome them.
I DON’T choose to support them.
I DON'T choose to educate them.
I DON'T choose to medicate them.
I DON'T choose to pay to feed or clothe them.

American home invaders get arrested. Please explain to me why foreign lawbreakers can enjoy privileges on American soil that Americans do not get. Why do some immigrants have to 'play the game' to be welcomed while others have merely to 'break & enter to be welcomed?

We travel for a living. Walt hauls horses all over this great Country, averaging over 10,000 miles a month when he is out there. He meets more people than a politician on caffeine overdose. Of all the many good folks he enjoyed on this last 10,000 miles, this trip yielded only ONE supporter of the current Regime. One of us is out of touch with mainstream America. Since our poll is conducted without funding, I have more faith in it than ones that are driven by a need to yield AMNESTY. (AKA - make voters out of the foreign lawbreakers so they can vote to continue the Government’s free handouts). This addition of 10 to 20 Million voters who then will vote to continue Socialism will OVERWHELM our votes to control the Government’s free handouts. It is a “slippery slope” we must not embark on!

As Margret Thatcher (former Prime Minister of Great Britain) once said “Socialism is GREAT - UNTIL you run out of other people’s money!”

I am disappointed as hell.
I am scared as hell.
I am ANGRY!
I am MAD as hell, and I'm NOT going to take it anymore!

Let's Lay the Blame where it Belongs

If the government shuts down at midnight tomorrow, make no mistake, the blame falls squarely on the shoulders of President Obama and Senator Harry Reid. Last fall, and prior to the elections, the Democrats owned the House, Senate and the Presidency. It was their responsibilty to formulate and pass a budget. They failed in that endeavor. Had they done their job, they would have had the budget they wanted, continuing to spend the country into bankruptcy. What they failed to see was that the country was getting fed up with the President's out of control spending and thus, the House, through the elections was given to the Republicans, who campaigned on reigning in the spending and reducing the size of government.
The Republicans have put forth a bill to continue government operations for another week while the negotiations on the budget continue. Because the bill contains $12 Billion in cuts (a drop in the bucket when compared to the $14 Trillion Obama debt) the Democrats are willing to shut down the government.
The bill also contains funding the the military for six months. The President has called the bill a "distraction" and promises to veto the it. Alas, Mr.Obama regards our troops a distraction.
While the media will blame the GOP, make no mistake who is really to blame for any government shutdown.
