Is This You?

THIS IS US...

 

The typical U.S. household headed by a person age 65 or older has a net worth 47 times greater than a household headed by someone under 35, according to an analysis of census data released Monday.

 

They like to refer to us as senior citizens, old fogies,   geezers, and in some cases dinosaurs. Some of us are "Baby Boomers" getting ready to retire Others have been retired for some time. We walk a little   slower these days and our eyes and hearing are not what they once were. We     worked hard, raised our children, worshiped our God and have grown old together.

 

In school we studied English, history, math, and science,  which enabled us to lead America into the technological age. Most of us remember what outhouses were, many of us with firsthand experience. We    remember the days of telephone party-lines, 25 cent gasoline, and milk and ice being delivered to our homes.

 

We are probably considered old fashioned and outdated by many. But there are a few things you need to remember before completely   writing us off. We won World War II, fought in Korea and Viet Nam. We can quote The Pledge of Allegiance, and know where to place our hand while doing so. We wore the uniform of our country with pride, and lost many friends on    the battlefield. We didn't fight for the Socialist States of America; we    fought for the "Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave." We wore different uniforms but carried the same flag.

 

We know the words to the “Star    Spangled Banner,” “America,” and “America the Beautiful” by heart, and you may even see some tears running down our cheeks as we sing. We have lived what many of you should have read in history books and we feel no obligation to apologize to anyone for America .

 

Yes, we are old and slow these days but rest assured, we have    at least one good fight left in us. We have loved this country, fought for it, and died for it, and now we are going to save it. It is our country and    nobody is going to take it away from us. We took oaths to defend America    against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and that is an oath we plan to    keep. There are those who want to destroy this land we love but, like our   founders, there is no way we are going to remain silent.

 

It was mostly the young people of this nation who elected   Obama and the Democratic Congress. You fell for the "Hope and Change" which in reality was nothing but "Hype and Lies” from your college professors. You youngsters need to taste socialism and see evil face to    face to understand  you don't like it after all. You make a lot of noise,most are all too interested in their careers or "Climbing the Social    Ladder" to be involved in such mundane things as patriotism and voting. Many    of those who fell for the "Great Lie" in 2008 are now having buyer's   remorse. With all the education we gave you, you didn't have sense enough to    see through the lies and instead drank the 'Kool-Aid.' 

 

Well, don't worry youngsters, the Grey-Haired Brigade is here,    and in 2016 we took back our nation. We may drive a little slower than you would like, but we get where we're going, and in 2020 we're driving tothe polls again by the millions.

 

So the next time you have the chance to say the    Pledge of Allegiance, stand up, put your hand over your heart, honor your country, and thank God for the old geezers of the "Gray-Haired Brigade."

 

Footnote:  This is spot on.  I am another Gray-Haired Geezer    signing on.  I will circulate this to other Gray-Haired Geezers all over    this still great country.

 

Can you feel the ground shaking? It's not an earthquake, it is a  STAMPEDE.
