The Grey-Haired Brigade

The article “The Grey-Haired Brigade” by Fred from the blog, “TexasFred,” is about how this November you are defiantly going to see more older people(the Grey Haired Brigade because most have grey hair) at the voting booth trying to fix all the problems with the Democratic President and Congress. Fred’s target audience is toward the older people, but also anybody who wants to fix these problem that our government has caused, “No jobs, lost mortgages, higher taxes, and less freedom.” Fred starts out his argument by writing that we, older people, or as the young say “gone over the hill,” still have things that we need to finish with our country before we go. He then writes about all the experience they went through. We were the ones that studied math and science and made America the great nation that it is today. We fought and won in World War II, fought in Korea and Vietnam. We know the pledge of Allegiance by heart and get emotional when saying it. Many of us have experienced what you young have read in text books. We are never ashamed of our great county. Fred’s next point is that they may be old, but they still got one more fight in them. They did not fight the cold war for “Socialist States of America” but for “land of free and home of brave.” We old people are going to fix your mistakes and hopefully this time, you will learn what not to do. You young people fell for Obama’s “Hope and Change” when really he meant, “Lets be a Socialist Country.” We did not fight all those wars against tyranny and socialism just to see our country become it. We will fight against this and hopefully this time you will not be persuaded so easily to lies. The Grey Brigade is coming so watch out, roads might go a little bit slower in November.
