He's on the right track,,,,,

But he is still way liberal as far as I can see.

I must be a racist.

I'm probably going with Jill Stein this year.

I got psyched, John. I though you were going to post pics from a party you guys performed at. Not a political party.

Texans

Some of us are Older than the "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, worshiped 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, and many of us with first hand 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We are probably considered old fashioned and outdated by many.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 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.

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 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 '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 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 or 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."


Come on guys. Lets get this circulating.

. Did YOU write this or is this a quote? I wsh the answer to our problems were this simple, but the answers are not. IMO we can't go back to the "good old days."

Bob is was sent to me by my father.

I agree we cant go back, but what we are doing isnt working so its time to make some changes. Sadly the only power you and I have in this is too vote for who we think will head us in the direction we should be going.

I took this quiz and it showed that I was 90% for Goode and 86% for Romney. I was only 56% for Obama. It was interesting.

My differences with Goode, abortion, I believe in Pro-Choice, and on the religious front the constitutional party maybe goes a little farther than I think it should. I think that religious freedom means we have the choice to follow whatever doctrine suits us whether it involves God or not.

I like the idea of states making the major decisions state by state instead of some government mandate. Romney stated this in the debate the other night, if he truelly believes that then he is way more my candidate than Obama.

He is totally anti-abortion with no exceptions? That's just too radical for me. I personally believe a woman should have a choice up to a certain point in the pregnancy - three months maybe? I am against late term abortions under any circumstance unless the mother's life is in danger.

Yeah I know Jimmy its so hard to find a candidate that really meets our individual needs. Whatever they may be.

I saw where Obama was closing in on a billion dollars in campaign donations.

Hell the candidates should just turn thier funding over and put it against our debt, but that aint gonna happen.

ditto that. I have to remind my friends that being' pro choice' is not a reflection of a woman's decision, but rather a reflection of a woman's constitutional freedom to 'make that decision' if the need, according to her should ever arise.

Yep . . . I'm all for retroactive abortion.

Just let me kill anyone whom inconveniences me.
Even if they have no fault in the matter.


Great idea!

George, I understand the frustration and the appalling logic of abortion. However, we, as individuals, even as our brother's keepers, have no authority, whatsoever over other human beings, when it comes to subjective decisions. To state otherwise is to reject the essence of God's gift of 'free will".

We have seen how the suppression of free-will by governments and religious dogma (non christian) in the middle east has resulted in abominable practices and behaviors against an entire humanity.

Free-will is the true validator to Christ...of our love for Christ. Without free will (which includes the bad decisions that so many idiots make) , what benefit is there to offer lasting life? Without Free will, the value of life is further lost on its recipients.
