My Daddy (whose wisdom, you may have noticed, I resurrect on a fairly regular schedule) used to say that the only thing less desirable than growing old was not growing old. As a tad, I always thought Pappy was just being silly and/or cryptic, but as I find myself wallowing in decrepitude, his meaning takes on more … well … meaning. It comes to this – old age ain’t much, but it’s all us Grey Ones have – and I dang well resent efforts by anyone, especially some grinning neomarxist fool in the White House, to make it less tolerable than it naturally is. And I intend to fight back.
For those who have been in a coma for the past several months, or are irremediably liberal, or just plain dense (all of which are essentially the same thing), know that the various proposed Obamopathies (otherwise known as ‘Health Care Reform’ bills) all contain, along with a laundry list of other treacheries, provisions that will materially gut the Medicare program – to the tune of something like 400 to 500 billion big ones, depending upon which permutation you analyze. That’s a lot of glucose meters, stents, hip replacements, and colonoscopies friends. It’s time to act.
As a starter, how about this: if the Obamanizer and his gang of leftist trogs carry through with their just-announced plan to bribe all us geezers with a $250 check, I swear on my just-opened bottle of Metamucil that I will immediately send that money to DickMorris.com, who has mounted a virulent campaign to defeat Obamacare and is currently seeking donations to support that effort – and I encourage other seasoned citizens to do likewise. Yeah, I know … Morris is a bit of a slickster, but he is almost preternaturally adept at assaying and moving public opinion on a very large scale. Let me put it this way – if you or yours had been horribly wronged, would you seek justice from a social worker … or from Don Corleone? Me too …. However, if you’re just too put off by Morris, there are a raft of other efforts out there working valiantly to slay the Health Care Reform beast before he devours us; find one you’re comfortable with and support it … with Obama’s check.
Besides … wouldn’t there be something deliciously poetic about using this cynical influence-buying scheme to bury Obama’s ham-handed attempt to not only take over health care but to fund it largely by disenfranchising those who have contributed longest? As the kids say …”Swee-eet!”
Be well
