AARP - Who Are They Representing?

The AARP appears to me to be a good idea gone very bad. They continue to grow more and more left wing with each passing year. For example, they named Harry Belafonte as one of their people of the year... Belafonte is well known as a blatant left-wing extremist.

For example, in a recent visit to Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez, a communist and vocal hater of the freedom-loving U.S. of A., Belafonte said in a speech to local socialists "No matter what the greatest tyrant in the world, the greatest terrorist in the world, George W. Bush says, we're here to tell you: Not hundreds, not thousands, but millions of the American people ... support your revolution."

Excuse me Harry... there are millions of people in the United States who support a communist dictator who hates America? Really? You sure you didn't mean Canadians or Cubans or French or Chinese? You sure you meant Americans or was that the senility speaking?

And AARP head honchos... question for you... weren't the communists and socialists the ones against which you put your lives on the line to defeat? You remember during W.W. two? Or did you forget that too?

Here's a refresher... Communists/Socialist = Bad. Democracies/Republics = Good. Communist Dictator = Bad. American President = Good.

This is the easy stuff... so please review and repeat as reality only gets more difficult from here.

The AARP was also strongly against Social Security reform. Why? I don't know... coverage for people in the AARP age range was guaranteed not to change. The change wouldn't happen until their liberal bodies were safely six feet under, but by using their heavy lobbying tactics they have helped secure the fact that Social Security will certainly not exist for me and my children.

Thanks AARP!

What surprises me is that the members of the AARP are supposed to be a part of the "greatest generation." A generation which valued America, capitalism, freedom and sacrifice for the greater good of the country. Now they've turned into socialist supporting selfish clods who, with continued bad decisions and poor guidance, are certain to replace their title from the "greatest generation" to simply the "latest generation."
