Enough is enough. The AARP gives an award and won't even show up to defend it on Bill O'Reilly's television show. Under the guise of representing millions of noble retired Americans, the AARP has been allowed free reign for too long. Their policies are not in touch with the average red head, much less the dozens of red states that constitute the majority of America. For conservatives searching for an answer, there is a safe harbor from this unrelenting storm of liberalism that surges incessantly from the offices of the AARP. It's NASCON, the National Association for Senior Concerns.
If you don't stand for what is right, you stand for what is wrong. The latest slap at the millions of senior conservatives who have had no choice for representation is the awarding of a "Man of the Year" award from the AARP to Harry Belafonte. They are putting on their pedestal a man that said, "Bin Laden didn't come from the abstract. He came from somewhere, and if you look where. you’ll see America's hand of villainy." He is a man that stood on his soap box and proclaimed, "I not only think that they (the leaders of his own country) are misguided, but I think they know exactly what they are doing and I think that they are men who are possessed of evil." He called both Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice, "slaves with the privilege of living in the house of the master. exactly the way the master intended to have you serve him." Enough is enough.
NASCON celebrates individual achievement, promotes less government, encourages personal responsibility and endorses a simpler tax code. We don't have all of the discount programs, yet, that our liberal counterparts promote, but we do have a foundation based on conservative values. We do represent the millions of retired Americans, and those not yet retired, who are currently muffled by the AARP. Their views deserve to be heard and we are determined to be that voice. But we need your help to make a difference.
How can you get involved? Join today and begin to make a difference. If this latest rejection of conservative principles has you fuming, make a statement and join NASCON today.
Thank You, Jerry Barton, Founder
And don't forget that Al Gore cast the tie-breaking vote to tax social security income. I joined NASCON last year. I'm not sure what 'benefits' I'm hoping they'll offer in time. What I most want is a lobby in Washington that represents the best interests of the elderly, not the best interests of a political party or ideology.
