OLD FART PRIDE


I'm passing this on as I did not want to be the only 'old fart' receiving it. Actually, it's not a bad thing to be called, as you will see.
•Old Farts are easy to spot at sporting events; during the playing of the National Anthem, Old Farts remove their caps and stand at attention and sing without embarrassment. They know the words and believe in them.


•Old Farts remember World War II, Pearl Harbour ,Guadalcanal , Normandy and Hitler. They remember the Atomic Age, the Korean War, The Cold War, the Jet Age and the Moon Landing. They remember the 50 plus Peacekeeping Missions from 1945 to 2005, not to mention Vietnam .


•If you bump into an Old Fart on the sidewalk he will apologize. If you pass an Old Fart on the street, he will nod or tip his cap to a lady. Old Farts trust strangers and are polite, particularly to women


•Old Farts hold the door for the next person and always, when walking, make certain the lady is on the inside for protection.


•Old Farts get embarrassed if someone curses in front of women and children and they don't like any filth or dirty language on TV or in movies.


•Old Farts have moral courage and personal integrity. They seldom brag unless it's about their children or grandchildren.


•It's the Old Farts who know our great country is protected, not by politicians, but by the young men and women in the Air Force, Army, Navy and Marines, serving their country.


This country needs Old Farts with their work ethic, sense of responsibility, pride in their country and decent values.


We need them now more than ever.


Thank Goodness for Old Farts
I was taught to respect my elders. It's just getting harder to find them.
 
Well said Paul, well said!
 
I like it Paul.
 
I can't get into that or they would ban and flog me.

I just read in Ezra yesterday morning how one of the kings of Persia actually enlisted Jews to go back to Jerusalem to rebuild the temple, and gave them money to buy offerings to present to God. His reason was that he did not want himself, his children, and his kingdom to be cursed for failing to honor God. He did not apparently worship Jehovah himself, but he had enough sense to know that he did not want to dishonor Him, and in fact, he saw the up side of doing Him honor. Our federal government is busy shaking their fists in God's face every day! This is well known, and cannot be argued otherwise, so there is no controversy to be had! They are a cursed bunch, and are cursing our whole country! You don't get blessed for coming against everything that God stands for!
