— LauraW 'Organizations.'
According to this blockbuster report, released today by the House Ways and Means Committee, AARPÂ’s support of ObamaCare and, specifically, the Medicare cuts was entirely rational and self-serving. The Committee found, after an 18 month investigation, that AARP stands to reap an extra billion dollars in profits from ObamaCare. (Yes, that is billion with a B.) Worse, this extra profit is largely BECAUSE of the Medicare cuts.AARPÂ’s members may face uncertainty over their future health care because of the cuts, but AARP faces certain windfall profits for itself.
And best of all, this is almost pure profit, because AARP does little but rent its name to others.
How do all these leftists make a fabulous income in a capitalistic society while constantly opposing it and contributing as little as possible to it?
'Organizations.'
The moral of this history lesson is this: if given power, the Professional Left becomes a danger to society and themselves. Closing down their shop will not just save the country and the economy - it will also save these "professionals" from their own kind.-----------------------------
Don't compromise, and never forget that their morals are crooked, their logic is flawed, their honor is stolen, their motives are corrupt, their methods are criminal, and their goal is a disaster.
They don't see themselves this way, of course; if you are a socialist, then 'working' in one of these organizations must feel like being a conscientious objector of some sort.
You get a good life while keeping at arm's length the despicable beast that provides it.

Screw AARP. They haven't been an organization for seniors for decades. They have been a shill for every Dem postilion available I dropped out after a few months of getting their magazine and seeing what a bunch of liberal assholes they were.

How is AARP any different from cold-calling identity theft scammers again?

Bwhahaha! OT, Mark Steyn:
It's the Nancy Pelosi strategy: "You have to fund the rebels before you find out who they are."

I'm going to start sending their envelopes back to them with a drawing of a middle finger inside.
Tape the Business Reply Mail items to a brick before putting it in the mailbox. Help 'em spend some of that windfall cash.

So AARP is going to make a billion dollars just for letting some insurance company use its name? Wow.
And I assume a bunch of that money will go to pay the salaries and bonuses of the bloated executive level of the organization.
What a world we live in.

Hey, what happened to the Labian post?
I can't find it... I can't even smell it.
Perhaps I was dreaming about it?

I thought everyone knew this about AARP...
Lenny Davis purchased Colonial Penn Insurance, back aorund 1960. He pioneered the concept of "group insurance". And in an effort to get Colonial Penn to start paying off on his investment, he created the AARP as the "group" to which he would sell the insurance...
It was a brilliant and mastterful stroke, but I can never look at AARP without seeing that they are just the thinnest veneer between the insurance salesmen of Colonial Penn and the members of the AARP "group".

I hate these people. I would like to see them all cast into the sun. They are the feeble, frightened, ignorant handout lobby.
But I guarantee you there are morons reading this thinking, "They aren't so bad. They're looking out for me and besides, I get a discount on my car insurance."
I would like to see these morons cast into the sun also.

It's curious. AARP no longer sends me membership solicitations. Perhaps my intensely rude, vulgar, and appoplectic responses in the negative (about a dozen in all) finally prompted them to remove my name from their prospect list.
I hope permanently.

FIFY
AARP has been this way for decades. Like most "group advocacy" groups, they don't so much represent the group they claim to represent as they do the middle-to-upper class liberal lawyers who run the group.
Just like academia and the MBM, they move in, bring friends, and then push everyone else out.
Unless liberals think the cause is "icky" (EWWWW NRA!), they always try to take over any large group and turn it to their agenda. 100% of the time. It's all they have.
