One Week After

Today is Tuesday, November 9th, 2010,..one week after mid term elections of a mega historical perspective.

I read where the AARP has lost 60,000+ members who were upset with the organization’s support and lobbying in support of Obamacare. That’s one way to vote,…..with your money. Me? I’ll just continue to send back membership application envelopes with local used car ads.

I heard where Nancy Pelosi sponsored a party to celebrate the 111th Congress’s accomplishments. This is You Gotta Be Kidding Me moment! What the hell was she celebrating? Over Whelming Debt piled upon the American People? Footprints on the Constitution? A Culture of corruption? The biggest Federal Government and Deficit ever?

I also heard where Nancy the butt monkey was running to be the Dem’s minority leader in the 112th Congress. Seems fitting to me. The person most responsible for the Democrats becoming a minority in Congress – becoming their leader. Yep, seems fitting to me.

Let’s re-cap her credentials: Upon her watch the Dems in Congress lost, what..63 seats? Historical numbers! Something like 23 State Legislatures changed from Dem majority to Republican majority, with a net loss of around 680 seats. More historical numbers!! The Dallas Cowboys coach was fired with a losing record – don’t see what Nancy Pelosi should be any different.

Amuse Yourself at AARP's Expense

Have you ever received an offer from AARP, who is of course the American Association of Retired People?? If you are already a member do you support the AARP becoming a liberal cause supportting, a socialist political action committee, using your membership dollars?

No matter what your view is on the Obamacare law that pass, and will hopefully be repealed by the new Republican majority in Congress coming soon, you would have to admit that passing a law so you can find out what is in it (Nancy Pelosi's reasoning) was really stupid,...moronic in fact.

Everything single swinging Richard in Congress who voted for it should be summarily fired. Well, the AARP was one of major groups lobbying for the passage of Obamacare even though the Medicare cuts will be devastating to the elderly. I guess so much for taking care of their membership which is the over 50 crowd.

So anyway, to crack myself up, when I get these AARP offers in the mail, I always write in a black Sharpie,..... "Leave me Alone you Communists!",..... or,...."This is the 22nd offer I have refused,..get a clue your Morons!"

Then I stuff the pre-paid envelope with carpet cleaning ads, roof repair ads and the occassional napkin with mustard stains and send back.

Hey, besides voting and doing this blog,...what else can I do in the name of justice and the American Way?

Letter to the AARP

I have long been a AARP opponent. The AARP supports Obamacare and a host of other social engineering-socialist agendas. I do not believe mostAARP members support the Political lobuing of the parent organization. When I get AARP membership application,....seven to date,....I cram a bunch of advertising into the envelope and write in a large black magic marker on the application "GO POUND SAND. LEAVE ME ALONE. DO NOT SEND ME ANYMORE APPLICATIONS."

The following is a letter sent to me, written by a woman and sent to Mr Rand the Executive Director of the AARP:



Dear Mr. Rand,

Recently you sent us a letter encouraging us to renew our lapsed membership in AARP by the requested date. I know it is not what you were looking for, but this is the most honest response I can give you. Our gap in coverage is merely a microscopic symptom of the real problem, a deepening lack of faith.

While we have proudly maintained our membership for several years and have long admired the AARP goals and principles, regrettably, we can no longer endorse it's abdication of our values. Your letter specifically stated that we can count on AARP to speak up for our rights, yet the voice we hear is not ours. Your offer of being kept up to date on important issues through DIVIDED WE FAIL presents neither an impartial view nor the one we have come to embrace. We do believe that when two parties agree all the time on everything presented to them, one is probably not necessary. But, when the opinions and long term goals are diametrically opposed, the divorce is imminent. This is the philosophy which spawned our 200 years of government.

Once upon a time, we looked forward to being part of the senior demographic. We also looked to AARP to provide certain benefits and give our voice a power we could not possibly hope to achieve on our own. AARP gave us a sense of belonging which we no longer enjoy. The Socialist politics practiced by the Obama administration and empowered by AARP serves only to raise the blood pressure my medical insurance strives to contain. Clearly a conflict of interest there!

We do not understand the AARP posture, feel greatly betrayed by the guiding forces that we expected to map out our senior years and leave your ranks with a great sense of regret. We mitigate that disappointment with the relief of knowing that we are not contributing to the problem anymore by renewing our membership. There are numerous other organizations which offer discounts without threatening our way of life or offending our sensibilities.

This Presidential Administration scares the living daylights out of us. Not just for ourselves, but for our proud and bloodstained heritage. But even more importantly for our children and grandchildren. Washington has rendered Soylent Green a prophetic cautionary tale rather than a nonfiction scare tactic. I have never in my life endorsed any militant or radical groups, yet now I find myself listening to them. I don't have to agree with them to appreciate the fear which birthed their existence. Their borderline insanity presents little more than a balance to the voice of the Socialist mindset in power. Perhaps I became American by a great stroke of luck in some cosmic uterine lottery, but in my adulthood I CHOOSE to embrace it and nurture the freedoms it represents as well as the responsibilities it requires.

Your website generously offers us the opportunity to receive all communication in Spanish. ARE YOU KIDDING??? Someone has broken into our 'house', invaded our home without our invitation or consent. The President has insisted we keep the perpetrator in comfort and learn the perp language so we can communicate our reluctant welcome to them.

I DON'T choose to welcome them.

I DON'T choose to support them.

I DON'T choose to educate them.

I DON'T choose to medicate them, pay for their food or clothing.

American home invaders get arrested.

Please explain to me why foreign lawbreakers can enjoy privileges on American soil that Americans do not get?

Why do some immigrants have to play the game to be welcomed and others only have to break & enter to be welcomed?

We travel for a living. Walt hauls horses all over this great country, averaging over 10,000 miles a month when he is out there. He meets more people than a politician on caffeine overdose. Of all the many good folks he enjoyed on this last 10,000 miles, this trip yielded only ONE supporter of the current administration. One of us is out of touch with mainstream America . Since our poll is conducted without funding, I have more faith in it than one which is power driven.

We have decided to forward this to everyone on our mailing list, and will encourage them to do the same. With several hundred in my address book, I have every faith that the eventual exponential factor will make a credible statement to you.

I am disappointed as hell.
I am scared as hell.
I am MAD as hell, and I'm NOT gonna take it anymore!
