Grey Haired But Still An American!


It makes me sick to my stomach to hear the youth of this country whine about how they deserve more.
They have no idea the difference between a right and a privilege. 
Recently, I heard an Occupier state that someone 
should pay for his student loan, but when asked,
"Why", he stated, "Because that's what I want."
Our youth are lazy, ill-informed, apathetic, self-centered, spoiled, 
and mindless floating in a sea of suspended animation awaiting gifts.
While texting on your smart-phones and self absorbed with your technologic devices, 
iPhones, iPads, iPods, etc, this administration is taking your freedom from you. 
Your apathetic and self centered ways are destroying your lives and you merrily 
march to your own drumming while people, who know you don't care,
take advantage of your ignorance to inflate their egos and cement their power structure over you.
 
When you want to receive something for nothing, you enslave yourself to the giver. 
The more you accept, the more you are enslaved, used, and expected to bow to that giver.
That giver is now Obama and his minions who now overtly grab power 
and defy you and our Constitution.
You are not the American of the past. 
You have sold your souls to what you believe is the easy life.
You are fools of the first order.
BUT! Grey-Haired Brigade is here!

"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 with aches and pains 
these days and our eyes and hearing are not what they once were. We have worked hard,
raised our children, worshiped God and grown old together. Yes, we are
the ones some refer to as being over the hill, and that is probably true.
But before writing us off completely, there are a few things that need to be
taken into consideration.

 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. For those of you who don't know what an icebox is, today they
are electric and referred to as refrigerators. A few even remember when cars
were started with a crank. Yes, we lived those days.

 We are probably considered old fashioned and out-dated 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 have only
read about 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." You have tasted socialism and seen evil face to
face, and have found you don't like it after all. You make a lot of noise,
but 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 hopefully now having buyer's
remorse. You didn't have sense enough to see through the obvious lies and instead drank the 'Cool-Aid.' 
Now you're paying the price and complaining about it. 
No jobs, lost mortgages, higher taxes, and less freedom. 
This is what you voted for and this is what you got. 
We entrusted you with the Torch of Liberty and you traded it for a paycheck and
a fancy house.

 Well, don't worry youngsters, the Grey-Haired Brigade is here, and in 2012
we are going to take back our nation. We may drive a little slower than you
would like but we get where we're going, and in 2012 we're going to the
polls by the millions. This land does not belong to the man in the White
House nor to the likes of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. It belongs to "We the
People" and "We the People" plan to reclaim our land and our freedom. We
hope this time you will do a better job of preserving it and passing it
along to our grandchildren. So the next time you have the chance to say the
Pledge of Allegiance, Stand up, put your hand over your heart, honor our
country, and thank God for the old geezers of the "Grey-Haired Brigade."
