I admire this woman who wrote a letter to Mr. Rand, the Executive Director of AARP. She not only has a grasp of ‘the situation’, but she also has an incredible command of the English language! I would say she pretty well summed things up!

Dear Mr. Rand,

Recently you sent us a letter encouraging us to renew our lapsed membership in AARP by the requested date. I know it is not what you were looking for, but this is the most honest response I can give you.

Our gap in coverage is merely a microscopic symptom of the real problem, a deepening lack of faith. While we have proudly maintained our membership for several years and have long admired the AARP goals and principles, regrettably, we can no longer endorse it’s abdication of our values.

Your letter specifically stated that we can count on AARP to speak up for our rights, yet the voice we hear is not ours. Your offer of being kept up to date on important issues through DIVIDED WE FAIL presents neither an impartial view nor the one we have come to embrace.

We do believe that when two parties agree all the time on everything presented to them, one is probably not necessary. But, when the opinions and long term goals are diametrically opposed, the divorce is imminent. This is the philosophy which spawned our 200 years of government.

Once upon a time, we looked forward to being part of the senior demographic. We also looked to AARP to provide certain benefits and give our voice a power we could not possibly hope to achieve on our own. AARP gave us a sense of belonging which we no longer enjoy. The Socialist politics practiced by the Obama administration and empowered by AARP serves only to raise the blood pressure my medical insurance strives to contain. Clearly a conflict of interest there!

We do not understand the AARP posture, feel greatly betrayed by the guiding forces that we expected to map out our senior years, and leave your ranks with a great sense of regret. We mitigate that disappointment with the relief of knowing that we are not contributing to the problem anymore by renewing our membership. There are numerous other organizations which offer discounts without threatening our way of life or offending our sensibilities.

This Presidential Administration scares the living daylights out of us. Not just for ourselves, but for our proud and bloodstained heritage. But even more importantly for our children and grandchildren. Washington has rendered Soylent Green a prophetic cautionary tale rather than a nonfiction scare tactic.

I have never in my life endorsed any militant or radical groups, yet now I find myself listening to them. I don’t have to agree with them to appreciate the fear which birthed their existence. Their borderline insanity presents little more than a balance to the voice of the Socialist mindset in power.

Perhaps I became American by a great stroke of luck in some cosmic uterine lottery, but in my adulthood I CHOOSE to embrace it and nurture the freedoms it represents as well as the responsibilities it requires.

Your website generously offers us the opportunity to receive all communication in Spanish. ARE YOU KIDDING??? Someone has broken into our ‘house’, invaded our home without our invitation or consent. The President has insisted we keep the perpetrator in comfort and learn the perp language so we can communicate our reluctant welcome to them.

I DON’T choose to welcome them.

I DON’T choose to support them.

I DON’T choose to educate them.

I DON’T choose to medicate them, pay for their food or clothing.

American home invaders get arrested.

Please explain to me why foreign lawbreakers can enjoy privileges on American soil that Americans do not get?

Why do some immigrants have to play the game to be welcomed and others only have to break & enter to be welcomed?

We travel for a living. Walt hauls horses all over this great country, averaging over 10,000 miles a month when he is out there. He meets more people than a politician on caffeine overdose. Of all the many good folks he enjoyed on this last 10,000 miles, this trip yielded only ONE supporter of the current administration. One of us is out of touch with mainstream America. Since our poll is conducted without funding, I have more faith in it than one which is power driven.

We have decided to forward this to everyone on our mailing list, and will encourage them to do the same. With several hundred in my address book, I have every faith that the eventual exponential factor will make a credible statement to you.

I am disappointed as hell.

I am scared as hell.

I am MAD as hell, and I’m NOT gonna take it anymore!

Soldiers of Christ are always in danger of the peril of apostasy, but even more so in today’s world. Modern churches have gone the way of “if it makes you feel good, it’s okay”. Many preachers are afraid to stand up and preach the actual Word of God. Homosexuals are standing in many pulpits as false teachers and are in a state of apostasy (having rejected Biblical truths and replaced them with their own feel-good deceptions).

When we take a look at what is happening around us this very day, it is all too obvious that we are indeed near the end days. Our political system is very corrupt and broken, there are more laws for criminals than justice for victims, Godly and traditional morals and values have deteriorated, and many just make up their own self-indulgent, evil values as they go along.

We now have a man that does not know if he is going to Heaven, does not believe there is a Hell, and does not see the evilness of such things as partial-birth abortion, as President of the United States. What does that say about the people who voted him into office? Have so many left “their first love”, Jesus Christ and His teachings, for the evil ways of the world? As a Christian, I find the state of our country very shameful, but then again “signs of the times”?

Although it grows more difficult each day to stay the course of a Good Soldier of Christ, God teaches us in His Word that there is also protection for us. The scripture reference for that protection will follow the description below.

When Paul wrote “in the last days” in 2 Timothy 3:1, he was referencing the whole period between the writing of his letter and the Lord’s return. As His return draws very near, the characteristics described below (mass corruption and a breakdown of law and tradition) will intensify greatly.

As I read the following scripture, I see news pictures and headlines from present-day broadcasts and newspapers for every characteristic listed.

2 Timothy 3:1-9 – “1. But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come:

2. For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3. unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4. traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5. having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!”

“6. For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, 7. always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8. Now as Jannes and Jambres resisted Moses,” (Though these names do not appear in the Old Testament, in late Jewish, pagan, and certain early Christian writings they are applied to the Egyptian magicians who performed counterfeit miracles in opposition to Moses-Exodus 7:11, 22. They are symbols of the folly of opposing the truth.) “so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, disapproved concerning the faith; 9. but they will progress no further, for their folly will be manifest to all, as theirs also was.”

The Protection from Apostasy:

2 Timothy 3:10-17 – “But you have carefully followed my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, perseverance, 11. persecutions, afflictions, which happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra–what persecutions I endured. And out of them all the Lord delivered me. 12. Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.”

“13. But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. 14. But as for you, continue in the things which you have learned and be assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them, 15. and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.” This is our protection. If all those in America who claim to be born-again Christians would follow this advice, our country just might not be in the shape it is now.

“16. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God,” (God-breathed; i.e., the Bible came from God through the men who wrote it–2 Peter 1:21–God was the superintendent to these human writers so that, using their individual personalities, they composed and recorded, without error, God’s Word to man.) “and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,” (this is what many churches of today are not doing) 17. that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.”
