BABY BOOMERS

The generation that went to war in 1941, fought to save this great country. They handed down a nation of pride, powerful, self-sufficent, high standards of living, love for their fellow citizen and kindness toward each other.

The baby boomers--wanted it all now!! Well, they got it and now they put this country in the bushel basket of rotten fruit. Their greed to have every damn thing that they could put their hands on helped to cause the biggest debt this nation has ever seen.

Their free spending via the use of credit cards, home equity loans, cars and electronic toys played right into the hands of the powerful elite rich. The capitalistic lenders of the nation put a banquet of credit on the table of life and the baby boomers eat until they gourged themselves.

CONSERVATISM, YES, CONSERVATISM is an evil word to them. They became bad parents and indulged themselves while appeasing their children with toys and gadgets to occupy themselves.

Oh, "the devil made me do it", just won't play. These baby boomers are educated and knew the difference between credit and hard money. So, now, their parents are going to suffer. Savings gone, pensions gone and now that the "PARTY IS OVER" will have a hangover that will last propbaly for a decade, if not longer.

Can these big time credit spenders, pull their belts tight enough to bring "THEIR" country out of this mess?? Will they have the courage and fortitute to "grow-up"??

If they have the guts, they will elect a Congress that will drastically cut the defense budget. Yes, stop the billions being spent on war. War only kills American soldiers and their blood greases the way for money to flow into the pockets of the rich.

This country must stop trying to bring our brand of "DEMOCRACY", which in reality is "CAPITALISM" to other country's, especially, when the are twice our age. The history books are filled with dreams of conquerors and idealist. Nothing can replace, we the people, by the people and for the people.

We the people, must believe in and cherish prudence and fiscal responsibility, balance the nation's budget. The baby boomers must become a "true conservative" and begin to fend for themselves and not depend on the government to take care of them.

A liberated and deregulated Wall Street (banks and finanical insitutions) led this country to the trough of greed and bamboozled our younger generation to drink long and deep.

With conservatism, prudence and inner strength WE THE PEOPLE can re-create an economically dependent nation once again. Bring home the jobs we lost overseas. Globalization only lines the pockets of the elite rich.

These ELITE RICH are the unelected people who have plunged us into this credit crisis and now, who do we put in charge of the great task to save us--- the very same people who put us there in the first place, WALL STREET, the SEC and the FEDS! Wake up Americans, vote out those who would bury us in more debt.

Remember the words of a banker, before the days of Naploeon, whose family today control the banks of Europe, "I care not who governs a country, as long as I control its money!" Need I say more on that subject??

Beginning today, you can go to the polls and vote for those who will remember the words of our forefathers, "WE THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE AND FOR THE PEOPLE." Bliss this great country of ours by using your intellect to make decisions for the betterment of all mankind.

Self-indulgent baby boomers don't vote for looks, gutzy sayings, promises with no return and above all vote into power those who have the true interest of this great nation's middle class hard working people. If you do, you just might save your own future.

GOD BLESS AMERICA!!

Now, go softly into the night. mgf
