Age 60 and over? You are hitting the age of political irrelevance

More proof that the vultures are circling. I remember seeing stuff like this in the early 80s when there was a sentiment against WW2 vets.

I just never thought I would see the day in this country where someone was ridiculed for quote "MAKING IT IN THE WORLD"!
Just because they were successful in life, worked hard and saved money they are looked down on by those who either are not willing to do the same or just haven't been at it long enough to reach that plateau.
I am just the opposite.
I applaud those who gained their wealth by either being smart or by shear determination.
I don't care much for those who gained their riches by deceit or at the expense of others.
I always heard that becoming rich was the AMERICAN DREAM!

That my two young sons may never have to know the horrors of war. 

I will stand for your rights as my forefathers did before me!
My thanks to those who have, are and will stand for mine!
To those in the military, I salute you!

You said it brother.  It still is, it's just that the hypocritical dumb young folks won't to admit it.
