PoliSat.Com provides innovative, free-use imagery to aid commentators exposing AARP as "Road Hog in Edsel" blocking travel on highway toward modernizing Social Security with private accounts.
In an innovative effort to help clear the highway towards modernization of Social Security by drawing attention to the AARP traffic-blocking road hogs, PoliSat.Com is providing two forms of free-use imagery to aid commentators in illustrating the reactionary role being played by AARP (Aging Americans Ravaging Posterity) in its effort to sabotage efforts to introduce private-ownership elements to cure the pyramid-scheme nature of FDR's original program. Part of the theory underlying this effort is the assumption that for those old enough to remember Edsels-- i.e., most of the people currently being suckered into paying dues to AARP-- these images may help stimulate sufficient introspection to motivate them to either deprive the AARP of their "dues" as fuel for its reactionary campaign or somehow force AARP to start promoting, rather than trying to block, modernization of Social Security.
A few (but too few) in the traditional media are willing to challenge AARP's claims. That means the non-traditional media must carry the ball. To facilitate such efforts, PoliSat.Com is making the imagery available in two sizes: The above-left imageº¹ measures 216 by 194 and the above-right imageº² measures 108 by 114. The imagery is designed to get the attention of those who may be unaware they're driving with their turn-signal stuck on "left" while blocking travel lanes for others by refusing to keep up with the traffic.
º¹ For the 216 by 194 image, the link-code is http://PoliSat.Com/Images/AARP-RoadHogInEdsel.gif.
º² For the 108 by 114 image, the link-code is http://PoliSat.Com/Images/AARP-RoadHoggingInEdsels.gif.

Road Hogs in Edsels: AARP-- Aging Americans Ravaging Posterity on the Retirement Highway.
The AARP (Aging Americans Ravaging Posterity) is waging Shermanesque political warfare against George Bush's proposals to modernize "Social Security." When are Americans over age 45 years going to stop paying dues to subsidize the campaign by AARP attacking the first innovative proposal to substitute a real retirement system for the Ponzi Scheme begun by Roosevelt decades ago? Too many are too addicted to the so-called "discounts" they receive by being "members" of "AARP," the most selfish, self-centered, demagogic organization in the history of American politics.
Years ago when I turned 45, I began receiving junk mail from "AARP." I refused to be one of the suckers joining such faux "membership" organization. I knew then it would become the kind of organization I wouldn't join at gunpoint. To my great consternation, my wife continues paying the annual "dues" for her "membership" in this disgusting organization. I'd rather pay "full price" for what I want than to sell my dignity to such a left-wing, pro-nanny-government organization of whiners in order to get a "discount."
"Seniors" should find more dignified ways of getting "discounts" than furnishing financial support for the alleged "membership" goals and purposes of such a transparently self-serving, posterity-be-damned organization. How pathetic that so many members of what Tom Brokaw justifiably called "the Greatest Generation" have allowed themselves to be so blatantly used by this alleged "membership" organization in ways to undermine the goals for posterity that the Greatest Generation sacrificed so willingly decades ago to preserve.
If the majority of AARP "members" who don't actively support the AARP's anti-posterity agenda don't stop paying "dues" they will deserve the label being earned by the small percentage of "members" that support such agenda. What's the label? "The Greediest Generation."
