Anti-Christian Rant in Dec 2004 AARP Bullitin
AARP Bulletin ^ | December 2004 | Susan Jacoby

Posted on 12/08/2004 1:35:28 PM PST by Jonah Johansen

Faith and the American Voter: A Look Back By Susan Jacoby [The text is not on Internet yet. If you are over 55 you probably got this in the mail today. The article was your standard anti-Christian, separation of church and state, the founding fathers were all secularists, Christians=Taliban, rant. You can do a Google on this woman; she is a real Christian hating, crusading leftist and Bill Moyer's fellow traveler.] 4 months ago the other AARP publication ran a cover story on Danny Glover. They presented his hateful anti-American, anti-white, bigoted, moronic views, as if he was the wise spokesman for all African Americans


TOPICS: Religion; Society
KEYWORDS: aarp; bigotry; seclarism; susanjacoby
You wonder why an organization who tries to appeal to middle America allows its publications to be run by liberals with agendas. Until recently my Alumni News was full of left wing bias. I contacted the President of the Alumni Association and asked him why they would send out a publication (whose primary purpose was raising money from wealthy graduates) that was bound to anger the very people it was trying to reach.

The AARP is no different from the NAACP, a leftist front group.

Maybe it's me but, I'm having a hard time making sense of your "article." For starters, what does the rant say?

Are you talking about the newspaper AARP mailing or the magazine with Richard Gere on the cover. I put them both in the trash with great haste.

They should combine.

The NAARCP - The National Association for the Advancement of Retired Colored People

Good discussion of AARP's liberal agenda on O'Reilly tonight.

I read my dad the riot act about being a member of AARP the other day (as is my wont) and he reacted more fiercely than he ever has in the past. This is the email he sent me:

All good points. Do something about it, get involved and help your generation. Personally, I can stay in one, nice hotel room for one night and more than recover the cost of belonging to the old-timer's club for a year. How can you fight it, son?

Yes, it's an issue but only one of many. Your Mother and I will be out of work soon because, for reasons I can't understand, politicians of both parties are allowing this country to lose it's identity. They're allowing our once industrial base and what was once industrial dominance to go to third-world or emerging countries. God forbid, if we should ever be faced with a nation-wide challenge as was forced on us that Decenber in 1941, there is no longer a place for Rosie to go rivet!

Just a perspective: My company just past three years without a lost time accident. Of the 139 Federal-Mogul plants World-Wide, we have the best Quality record, we have had the lowest scrap as well as the lowest ppm of all but one of those 139 plants. We have visitors in our plant, weekly, to review and take to their plants our 6S, 6-Sigma, TPM, Lean Manufacturing initiatives and so on an so on because we're known as, no shit, "the show place of Federal -Mogul!" Oh, did I mention our machinery is going to Mexico and China? Remember the "x" in Mexico is pronounced like a "h."

Remember how your Mother and I would correct your English? Suggestion. Learn to speak Spanish. I don't know, I'm just past the point of really caring any more. If the two Johns had won the election? OK, the people that voted for them deserve what the get but, truly? I'm bitter, they are all the same and see both parties having an agenda that suits their platform. AARP? Turn 50 and join. You'll save money and our government will be the same with our without them.

The article appears in the AARP bulletin Dec 2004.
Suasan Jacoby is the author. It is a routine very predictable seularists attack on Christian's involvement in politics.
From the little research I did Susan Jacoby has some connection with Bll Moyers TV show and is a professional Atheist Christian basher.

I have no idea what the point if publishing an article that villifies the beliefs of a large majority of their readership.
