Population Control at Both Ends

We are of the opinion that AARP is not really "for" the older segment of the population but is primarily a giant, left-leaning lobbying group that dupes a growing population of "maturing" citizens into supporting things that are not good for our country.

We're definitely qualified but are not partakers of anything AARP offers so we don't get their monthly propaganda piece.  Unless I hear or read something in the news I don't know what they're up to on a day to day basis.  But I started wondering how they felt about the "universal healthcare" (aka socialized medicine) provisions in the current so-called economic stimulus bill so I read their "AARP Bulletin Today", though it was yesterday's edition.  I mean, if AARP isn't standing up against the blatant discrimination against the aging when it comes to healthcare, who in the world will?  There are provisions in this very bill that would create an office or agency to oversee compliance with regulations pertaining to medical procedures - or lack thereof - for evaluating who is actually worth treating.  And trust me, it's not the old or infirm.  Goodbye Ted Kennedy ... hmmmm.

I don't know if there are exceptions for those "seniors" in DC (the liberals at least) but we baby boomers and older should be getting our affairs in order - we may not be long for this world.
