You were 26 when JFK was elected.
You were 31 when LBJ imposed the great society on us.
Your young 69 year old sibling was a part of the late 60's youth movement that has done so much of lasting harm. You were 35 when Teddy went swimming at Chappaquiddick, and continued to win election after election.
You were 42 when Jimmy Carter was elected.
When you reached retirement age, in your 60's, you were part of the social security focused seniors that helped keep Clinton in office. In short, your generation oversaw the greatest expansion of socialist doctrine in our history, and started the programs and policies that led to the decline of public education, the skyrocketing debt, and the destruction of the family.
I'm not saying that you are personally responsible, but your generation certainly has a lot to to answer for, that you cannot pin on younger folks.
Boy..is he in for the audit of his life.
You were right on with your rant. Too many oldsters do not want to accept responsibility for what has happened on their watch. It’s going to be a long haul turning things around. I just hope the young folks are up to it.
Too bad this letter will only be read by a college intern working in the office and never be forwarded to the Sainted Senator herself.
The “Miss Me Yet?” graphic really needs George Washington’s face, or Paul Revere’s, or some other troublemaker’s face.
THOSE people. Lazy, selfish people who have been bought. They don't care about the damage being done.
Time to wake up, folks. The people on food stamps are not the only ones who care more about their lifestyles than they do about liberty.
The lazy, selfish and cowardly people who keep sending their kids to public schools, are also accepting welfare. The lazy, selfish and cowardly people who pay lip service to liberty while regularly sending their financial support to the protection racket in DC, rather than resist, even safely and legally, because it would crimp their lifestyle -- they are more to blame than the moochers they support.
$600K is a typical suburban tract colonial around here in the Beltway that someone would have bought for 1/5 of that or less 20 years ago
Sorry to bust your theory, but many senior citizens live in very highly assessed houses they have owned for many years and could not afford to buy again
Lots of us “oldsters” did the right things and voted the right ways.
Sometimes it works, it did work in Texas.
I’m amongst the oldsters that did the right thing, voting-wise. But I didn’t really wake up to what the media was doing until the internet started. And lots of people still think media bias is a conspiracy theory. We’ve been lied to for a long time. Many of the oldsters are still not on the internet & not getting any alternative information.
I’m not in panic or apocalypse mode here. And it baffles me why others are.
What we see here is a very casual rehearsal for those ultimate events. We’ll have something far far far far worse (and cleverer) than Barack Obama at the helm of it.
Now a rapture could really upset some applecarts because it would render the world believerless. And we don’t quite know when that will be.
Well yes, the two follies (making it overly easy to game, and gaming) feed one another. I tend to think, from overall observation, that a lot of the intentions are good, but they are not focused on a godly model and thus lead to hell rather than to heaven.
Good post. Makes me wonder why millions of us lowly citizens are not pushing to recall the idiots in charge. If your state has a recall procedure, then get started on recalling the elites. If your state doesn’t have such a procedure, push to get one on the ballot. The enemy is active while we sit and assume our birth given rights will never perish. Bad move on our part. What our government is currently doing to the public is a sham, coordinated with corrupt media outlets. Stand and fight!
Why would it ring false, if a person worked their entire life to build wealth, to save, and to establish themselves and still be pissed at politicians that vote themselves high salaries and pensions on the backs of people like the writer?
The writer's overall disgust would still hold true that while he worked and toiled for his assets the looter class (including politicians) voted for theirs off the backs of people like him.
The writer's words especially ring true in the 1% remarks, considering as the democrat marxist voting base derides the wealthy, and yet the politicians in question are of the so called 1%.
And further, the writer isn't knocking wealth - he's knocking entitlements, nepotism, and graft that is paid for by the taxpayer.
Are you sure you aren’t Senator Murray?
Look at the bright side, Bill.
The Death Panel is going to greatly improve the financial outlook for SocSec and Medicare.
If your grandkids squawk about your premature demise, we may offer them a discount on their student loan debt.
