They don’t care about the old! The young are their future, and just look at are current young, how promising for them.
True. I haven't seen very many 0 stickers (here in TX), but the few I've seen just happened to be older and white drivers. At least one was on a Prius. Probably a much different demographic in Austin :)
My mom is 95 and only just this year starting to think of herself as elderly. I'm about your age, still riding dirt bikes and stuff. I have plenty of problems but try to stay involved as much as possible with youthful pursuits (except chasing girls lol).
Not ‘this one’! i smelled him a-comin’, BEFORE the FIRST election!
I am a Senior citizen. I AM a veteran. If I were to receive ‘the word’, stand on the line, and move when “Dress Right!” is given, it is because it is worth NOT my 60-ish years, but all the years of the little first grader, who adopted me as their ‘pawpaw’.
I’ve defended a different America, then what it has become today. It makes me so furious. The national intelligence quotient AIN’T D’ERE NO MO’!
My dad is 82. He’s one of the most patriotic people you’ll ever meet. He flies Old Glory 24/7/365 in front of his house, and served his country in the U.S. Army for 27 years, retiring as a highly decorated LTC.
But — he was absorbed by the liberal Borg decades ago, and now spouts liberal talking points right on cue, on any subject you care to mention.
Yes, he voted for Obama twice, and yes, he thinks that “assault weapons” should be banned.
What are you gonna do? It makes me crazy.
>> To many here at FR, we’re just a bunch of takers and useless eaters.
It’s an honor to be in the presence of all you cantankerous ol’ curmudgeons.
Heck, there would be no meaningful Tea Party activism if it weren’t for the seasoned patriots.
Well I am a boomer. There was nowhere near half of us doing drugs. That crap was mostly on the east and west coast and the liberal colleges/universities.
Then it started spreading to the rest of the country. My town and the surrounding towns wanted nothing to do with liberals, drugs, and hippies.
Just like the bad ideas of today East, West coasts, DC, and liberal bastions spread their crappy ideas like a pandemic.
If the young are the future, then why abort them?
WRT assault weapons: you can ask (1) if the government is always correct [citing Dread Scott], (2) and if not, then what the people have as a method of correction (again, cite Dread Scott).
If Obama does a gun grab or bypasses Congress on the debt ceiling, the term "Battleground" states will likely take on a new meaning.
They both expressed the fear that since they are over 70, Obamacare will make sure that they get bypassed when they need medical care.
I have a friend who is a physician and I asked him if that was true and he said, "Yep, by design."
I would venture to say that The BFLAN is also scaring old people - by design.
You know, a fearful populace is a much more compliant populace.
My 88 year old Dad can’t either.
How's that gonna help me rescue my 82 year old dad from the left-wing Borg collective? You don't really think he understands any of that, do you?
Oh, yeah, ya gotta keep moving. I do. I just know I am getting older.
Yes, everyone is being manipulated, basically by Satan, into a very bad circumstance.
The ONLY reason obama won was by fraud. What gets is that romney slunk off, into the night, without so much as a word about the fraud and the destruction of our electoral process. That is a betrayal I won’t forget, especially the next time the GOP asks for a dime.
Message to Pols and Obama: You’re scaring the elderly VERY badly
“Go take a pill!”
Unless you live in NYC, then you will simply have to “suffer a little bit.”
