I belonged to AARP for about fifteen minutes when I turned fifty. That’s how long it took for me to realize that NO, I AM NOT IMAGINING THINGS, THEY HAVE NOTHING TO OFFER ME FOR MY MONEY!!! It took me a while to stop wondering why anyone joins, the dues were about eight dollars a year then which is not worth worrying about but I couldn’t see where they offered anything worth even eight cents.
What really set me off about AARP in particular was an article they had in their magazine. It was an interview with notorious anti-American hack Harry Belafonte. This guy literally despises the country.
I do admit that the AARP scare ads are humorous, it is typical lefty tactics of trying to scare granny.
