Getting Old ain't no Fun no more.

Old Geezer's lament received in email.

I used to think I was just a regular guy, but . . .

I was born white, which now, whether I like it or not, makes me a racist.

I am a fiscal and moral conservative, which by today's standards, makes me a fascist.

I am heterosexual, which according to gay folks, now makes me a homophobic.

I am non-union, which makes me a traitor to the working class and an ally of big business.

I am a Christian, which now labels me as an infidel.

I believe in the 2nd Amendment, which now makes me a member of the vast gun lobby.

I am older than 70, which makes me a useless old man.

I think and I reason, therefore I doubt much that the main stream media tells me, which must make me a reactionary.

I am proud of my heritage and our inclusive American culture, which makes me a xenophobe.

I value my safety and that of my family and I appreciate the police and the legal system, which makes me a right-wing extremist.

I believe in hard work, fair play, and fair compensation according to each individual's merits, which today makes me an anti-socialist.

I believe in the defense and protection of the homeland for and by all citizens, which now makes me a militant.

Recently, a sick old woman called me and my friends a “basket of deplorables”.

Please help me come to terms with the new me . . . because I'm just not sure who I am anymore!

cont. in comment.

Great anecdote, and tho I don't have kids, I can still relate.

My Mom's 84 and on a couple of the very rare times I've ended up at her church with her, I've inadvertantly seriously spooked one or another of her women buddies.

As time has passed I've apparently become a visual clone of my Dad, who died in '99.
Since most all of them were at his funeral, when they saw me for the first time in many years, they about fainted, thinking he'd resurrected somehow.

It's funny in a way, but I'd have hated any of them to have keeled over from seeing a 'ghost' !

"I am 82 YO and feel like a new man with President Trump as our President. I was concerned that I would be fighting CW2 if Hillary had won."

I know that feeling...I wake up many days and realize that Trump is STILL my president and get out of bed happy.

Embrace the suck. Drink good beer and remember you will never be as angry as a progressive. What was that bumper Hannity ran?

Always remember, there’s a Mr Pelosi out there...

Wow! You took the words right out of my mouth! Excellent and thanks.
