In God We Trust








Gray-Haired Brigade





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 have worked hard, raised our children, worshipped our 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We are probably considered old fashioned and outdated by many.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 have only 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." 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 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.' 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 Gray-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 "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 once great county. Can you feel the ground shaking??? It's not an earthquake, it is a STAMPEDE

If you own your home, please read this. - This is so disgusting, another thing to hurt Americans and hidden in a 'Health-care Bill'

THIS WILL BLOW YOU AWAY !!!!!

The National Association of REALTORS is all over this and working to get it repealed, before it takes effect. But, I am very pleased we aren't the only ones who know about this ploy to steal billions from unsuspecting homeowners. How many REALTORS do you think will vote Democratic in 2012?

Did you know that if you sell your house after 2012 you will pay a 3.8% sales tax on it? That's $3,800 on a $100,000 home, etc. When did this happen? It's in the health care bill and goes into effect in 2013.

Why 2013? Could it be to come to light AFTER the 2012 elections? So, this is "change you can believe in"? Under the new health care bill all real estate transactions will be subject to a 3.8% Sales Tax.

If you sell a $400,000 home, there will be a $15,200 tax.

This bill is set to screw the retiring generation who often downsize their homes. Does this make your November and 2012 vote more important?

Oh, you weren't aware this was in the Obamacare bill? Guess what, you aren't alone. There are more than a few members of Congress that aren't aware of it either < http://www.gop.gov/blog/10/04/08/obamacare-flatlines-obamacare-taxes-home>
Look carefully at the 2014 rate compared to the 2013 rate

EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW, NOT ONLY SENIORS.
Look carefully at the 2014 rate compared to the 2013 rate .
For those of you who are on Medicare, read the following. It's short, but important and you probably haven't heard about it in the Marxist liberal media."The per person Medicare Insurance Premium will increase from the present Monthly Fee of
$96.40, rising to: $104.20 in 2012
$120.20 in 2013 And
$247.00 in 2014."

These are Provisions incorporated in the Obamacare Legislation, purposely delayed so as not to confuse the 2012 Re-Election Campaigns. Send this to all Seniors that you know, so they will know who's throwing them under the bus.

REMEMBER THIS IN NOVEMBER 2012 AND VOTE!!!
From now thru November 2012 this should be required weekly or at least monthly,
Reading – BY ALL WHO VOTE!!!

Did you notice who Obama threatened when he wasn't getting his way on raising the debt ceiling?
He threatened to not pay :
Social Security Retirees,
Military Retirees,
Social Security disability and Federal Retirees.
Now.. Let this sink in really good -
He did not threaten to stop payments to illegal aliens
He did not threatened to take frivolous benefits such as Internet access away from violent inmates
He did not offer to fire some of the thousands of unnecessary federal employees that he hired
He did not offer to cut down on his or his wife's frivolous gallivanting around
He did not threaten to not pay the senators and representatives or any of their staff
He did not threaten to take benefits away from welfare recipients
He did not threaten the food stamp programs
He did not threaten to not pay foreign aid
He did not threaten to cut back on anything that involves his base voters

The list could go on and on. He is in full political re-election mode!

• Why are we allowing this person to destroy this wonderful country with his selfishness and his lies?

• His type of change is killing our country. He needs to be stopped and only our Votes can stop him.

• Do not forget about his tactics when it's election time. Vote Obama out of the Presidency in 2012.

LET'S MAKE 2012 - THE END OF AN ERROR!

" AMERICA..... HOME OF THE FREE
BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE. PRAY FOR OUR TROOPS

ELECTION 2012 IS COMING!!!
A Nation of Sheep Breeds a Government of Wolves!

I'M 100% for PASSING THIS ON!!!

Le t' s Take a Stand!!!

Obama: Gone!
Borders: Closed!
Language: English only
Culture : Constitution, and the Bill of Rights!
Drug Free : Mandatory Drug Screening before Welfare!
NO freebies to: Non-Citizens!

We the people are coming

obama don't pass the buffet rule either!!

loudest rhetoric coming from President Obama lately has been about the Buffett Rule that millionaires should pay 30% of their income in taxes.

But now it comes out that he and Michelle only pay 20.2% of their income of about $800,000 in taxes! The flunk their own standard by ten points!



How many brains does it take to get the whole country stirred up demanding that the rich pay 30% in taxes and then fail to do that yourself?

The other major point Obama has been touting is his success in turning around General Motors, saving American jobs. Oh Really? The fact is that of the 202,000 General Motors employees, only 68,500 live and works in the United States. Two-thirds of the corporation’s labor force lives abroad. Obama is not saving American jobs, he is saving jobs around the world. Indeed, General Motors – of which the government with a one-quarter share is the largest stock holder by far – is also the biggest corporate out-sourcer of jobs.

And, while we are on the subject of having the rich pay their “fair share” of taxes, how about the fact that General Motors, which is, in effect, owned by the government, paid not a penny of taxes on a profit of $7 billion last year! They, too, flunked the Buffett Rule.

The fact, of course, is that all the Buffett rule does is, in effect, raise the capital gains tax rate from the current 15% to 30%. Every time the government has raised the capital gains tax rate, revenues have fallen. Every time it has lowered the rate, revenues have risen.

It is a tax that costs money and raises nothing.

• When Reagan cut the capital gains tax from 28% to 20% in 1981, capital gains tax revenues rose from $12.5 billion under the old 28% rate to $18.7 billion under the 20% rate. The rate dropped by a third and revenues rose by a third.

• Then, when Reagan bowed to liberal pressure and put the rate back up to 28%, revenues from the capital gains tax fell from $328 billion to $112 billion. The tax had risen by eight points but revenues had dropped by two-thirds.

• And, in 1996, when Clinton cut the rate back down to 20%, tax collections from the capital gains levy rose from $66 billion to an average of $100 billion over the next four years. More important, the capital gains tax cut stimulated investment and capital gains. Under the higher tax rate, in 1996, there were $261 billion in capital gains in the U.S. In the three years after the cut, the total of capital gains rose to an annual average of $440 billion.

So the Buffett Rule makes no economic sense and won’t do anything to cut the budget deficit. In fact, it will probably cost us revenue.

wanted to say thanks to all men and women gray hair or not for what yall have done and been through God bless may our sport live on
