Stop the Plot Against Seniors

[Casino67]

Huffington Post:

My father's middle name was Franklin. He was named after Franklin Roosevelt. And today, we celebrate the anniversary of Franklin Roosevelt's greatest accomplishment -- Social Security.

We call it Social Security. In other countries, they call it a public pension. But Roosevelt chose the term Social Security because the word "security" went right to the heart of what he was trying to accomplish for Middle Class America. It was one of Roosevelt's famous Four Freedoms: "Freedom From Want."

Without Social Security, seniors would be forced to work into their seventies, eighties and nineties. When they would become too sick or frail to work, they would have to beg. And then they would die.

That's the way it was in America when my father was growing up. Before Franklin Roosevelt's Social Security. No wonder my grandparents named him Franklin.

Today marks the 75th anniversary of Social Security. Without it, many of our seniors would be so poor that they'd have to eat cat food just to survive.

That's why many are calling the Deficit Commission, run by extremist right-winger Alan Simpson, the "Catfood Commission." It's the culmination of decades of plotting by right-wingers to destroy Social Security.

As you read this email, the Catfood Commission is plotting behind closed doors to find a way to force Social Security cuts on the American people. In a few months, when they come out with their cruel "recommendations," you're going to hear all over the media that we have to destroy Social Security in order to save it.

Where have I heard that before?

We've got to stop them. If enough of us speak out against Social Security cuts now, then people like me, fighting to protect Social Security, can show the media where We, The People stand on this.

That's why I've started a petition telling Congress and the President, "Don't Steal My Social Security." It tells every Federal official with a say on this that if they vote to cut Social Security, then they're going to have to find another line of work. You know that extension in unemployment benefits that we just passed? That will be for them.

But let's not scare the senior citizens. I picture Greyson laughing his butt off as he may have written this garbage.

Alan Greyson is an idiot. Pure and simple

 

You're just now figuring that out! I had it figured out 3-4 weeks ago.

That's why many are calling the Deficit Commission, run by extremist right-winger Alan Simpson

 

Only in leftwing loonytoon land could Alan Simpson be called a extremist.

He was so extreme that he co-authored the 1986 Illegal Alien Amnesty which admitted 7 million illegals while promising to fix the future.

 

Guess what.

 

It didn't.

 

For reasons related to that bill, which I do not want to get into right now as they are intensely personal, I have absolutely DESPISED Alan Simpson ever since then. Mazzolli (the Dem Congressman who co-sponsored the 1986 SImpson-Mazzoli debacle is probably dead by now, and in any event, being a Democrat I could hardly hold it against him.

 

But Simpson's betrayal on this issue is one I will NEVER forget.

 

So, yeah, if Simpson is a 'right-winger', then I am a flaming leftist.

 

 

*NOT*

That was a bit off-topic, I know. But Alan Simpson is my LEAST favorite Republican.

Thanks for proving my point.

We've always suspected you of having certain...Progressive Tendencies.

Valin - all I can say to this is to appropriate your signature phrase: "This essay is not completely worthless; it can be used as a bad example. (...of what passes for thought in the leftist blogosphere).

Yes, and that is why Theodore Roosevelt is my favorite president. The same Theodore who wrote, years after his presidency and upon occasion of a violent leftist street protest in NYC, that he and a group of his Rough Riders armed with rifles would end that protest in no time!

[Al_Simmons]

Anyone catch Simpson's latest gaffe about the Social Security Trust Fund being a "milk cow with 310 million tits"?

 

Yeah, real crazy right-winger there, yessiree ....
