U.S. slips from old guys' grips (Cover both monitor and keyboard)
The Tampa Tribune ^ | January 4, 2013 | Mark O'Brien

It's time to get out the red editing pencil and make a major change in that bumper sticker, "Old guys rule!"

Make it "Some old guys rule!"

Because clearly some old guys no longer rule. Start the list of fading has-beens with Donald Trump, Karl Rove, Hollow Man Mitt Romney, John McCain, Herman Cain, Dick Morris and other assorted Fox News gas bags, and that Wayne LaPierre guy from the National Rifle Association, the one who spits as he talks about the need to get more guns in the schools.

As a new year has begun, it's important to remember that 2012 and Barack Obama's re-election showed that most Americans are tired of these bozos who are flogging causes for their own benefit – TV show ratings, book sales and Iowa caucus votes — and they have major credibility gaps and way too much meanness in their madness.

Most Americans aren't quaking in their beds at night, worried about gays and immigrants and Obama's birth certificate.

What's keeping us awake is the shaky economy, the tea party's unpatriotic lust for cutting government services even though tax rates are lower than they have been in decades, and the realization that the rich are getting richer while too many of us — especially our children — are facing a climb that is more uphill than it has to be...

Well.no matter how optimistic this lib is about 2013, *this* old guy isn’t. He complains about the uphill climb the next generations are facing. Has he ever thought about who actually made it that way?

This country did indeed slip from ‘old white guys’ hands and into Nancy Pelosi’s and her effeminate halfrican boy-toy Hussein 0bama and that’s exactly why it’s both financially and MORALLY BANKRUPT.

Yes, the rich are getting richer and the rest of Americans live in lean-to shanties or in tarp-covered ditches by the sides of roads. More malarkey from an Obamaton who supports the policies of a Marxist guaranteeing he and his children will definitely be a lot poorer. This idiot doesn’t no how stupid he is.

Economically AND grammatically-challenged, is this writer, as well as most libs. When will writers and editorial staffs learn...that if you're going to call us a particular name over and over again, that name should become a proper noun, and should be capitalized.

Liberals (er, now “progressives”) yearn to be free of the restraints of timeless principles which are ultimately rooted in the Ten Commandments, principally the ones that forbid lies, coveting and theft.

These “old men” are really just people who know that God rules in the lives of men, that His law matters and that every person will eventually judged for their works.

Liberals yearn for a secular Utopia and any hint that it might actually be possible to achieve is a high point in their lives. But it must not be, for their secular Utopia would be hell on earth.

Replaced with 25 year old males who’s lives consist of Cheetos’s, video games, no car, no home, no future, no masculine role models? But they have an iPhone?

I’d call the author a moron but I have nothing against morons and have no particular desire to insult them.

See, now you’ve insulted fools and idiots by associating them with the orifice discharging this verbal sewage. If they were smarter, they’d come to your house and let you know how bad you hurt their feelings!

This guy must be the one staying awake at night worrying about it.


What’s keeping us awake is the shaky economy, the tea party’s unpatriotic lust for cutting government services

If this guy and his children are going hungry what makes him think he should whine for Government help?

The Government is only responsible for the general welfare of the people, not every ones personal welfare.

The only thing Government can do to help the general welfare of the people is to stop the high taxes and crazy regulations that put people out of business.

High taxes and crazy regulations are the reason Americans can not compete with foreign countries so we are forced to buy every thing from abroad.

Stop the stupid regulations that are for no other reason than to have more servants on the government pay roll and bigger Government.

The rants amount to nothing more than haughty diatribes from petulant, liberty-hating bitches.
