Sign me up! I'm not quite a Senior yet, but I am disabled to the point where the Obamatons would deem me useless and unworthy of spending hard conned/stolen health uncare dollars on.

Nice...

We could add bingo...we could bring "stuff" and be a thousand times better off, no doubt.

You should go to the side blogs and read about the lovely death brochure for our Vets. Aubergine is the retard formerly known as Kimberly and shows us how astute she is by naming herslf the color of eggplant- a vegetable!!

Oh there is no doubt we'd be better off. Bingo would work too. Like I said we'd have to use pods or something but perhaps we could print our own money too.
I read that VA booklet and that is what really got me ticked off to start.
I don't know who the eggplant is however.

Good post, Pat. This is a superb idea! Hey, can those of us who are just plain sick and tired of trying to communicate some old-fashined horse sense to our Rep and Sentators come along?

What I really like about this is the fact that it would indeed be an island filled with experience, expertise and, WISDOM!!

Oh, one last thing -- you gonna' keep us posted on how this idea was received by the President?

Hi Mrs. Al

So good to see you here. I'm glad you like the idea. And you can come too if you're not a senior. We don't discriminate on age, gender, religion, color, nothing. We are a free Republic of Seniors.

I will let everyone know what Mr. Obama has to say about my idea.

That's right an island filled with experience, and wisdom. And don't forget we're old enough to know arguing with someone gets you nowhere.

We'll have tribal councils to decide on things and what our next projects should be, etc. I think we'll have a lovely time. No cares or worries anymore.

And now we have the fact that there will be no COLA for millions of seniors for SS in 2010. Then too, the VA is still going to have end of life booklets for our injured vets. Can you imagine? Get rid of them to save money. So the Palin idea on Death Panels was not far off. Drop by above and rant.

Remember that movie, Pepp? You have written a vision of what our island could be! Lively seniors living large! Will it be okay to burn candles there? Some greenies don`t want us to even have candlelight these days!!! I commit to making our candles if someone will be the beekeeper! It will be our beezwax (as opposed to their billllsheeet!) We hearty, healthy and happy women will also need to have a hairdresser .... Applications are now open! Apply at Pepperhawk`s Farm! Fun blog!

Of course we'll take you even if you are not officially a senior as yet. And it all depends on what age the Czars of Health decide we're too old to stick around. One has the age at 40 if you can believe that?

a dangerous bear. And perhaps even more dangerous by virtue of his age and experience.

Pep, I know what you are saying, and I agree. But I have grandchild No. 4 about to arrive (the week of 09/10 thru 09/17). The "Island" is nice to dream about (my dream involves Montana), and I too think along similar lines. It helps get me thru the "bad" days.

But I will not let Grandson #3 face the future that O'Vomit has planned for him alone. I intend on going out, as I came in, fighting. And with my age and experience, I can be very "dangerous".

Let's send O'Vomit and his minions to an island. Preferably an island similar to Devil's Island or Alcatraz.

I certainly understand your concerns. And I'm glad to actually hear you say you're going out fighting. That's what Ron says to. He says he didn't fight in Korea for freedom to have our country taken over by Commies.

I actually hope that and I know I shouldn't say this, but I hope a civil war breaks out and Obama is toppled. He needs to be impeached for treason and hung. That's my opinion. I don't really want to go to some island either, it was just satire to take some of the stress off of this despicable problem we have here.

The government has declared war on the American people and I think the 2nd Amendment is in order right now. And we better act fast before that is taken away.

Ron and I were just talking about you last night wondering how things are going for you. I hope things have improved.

If I could actually walk and stand for any length of time I may very well come up to DC for that protest. But I had a massive blood clot in my leg and I cannot walk very well now.

I've told my friends that the we should do the same. My wife and I (at 24 & 25) feel that Obama would rather try to mesmerize us by his "eloquence" that got him elected. Maybe a nice tropical island away from our nut-bag-in-chief.

Obama denies what's in the bill. Many here know what's really in it. I've been wondering sense when do people have a "right" towards health care, rather than a privilege.
