I really look forward to the day I'm old and gray, and I kick some punk's ass. It's a given this is going to happen. People get grouchier as they get older. And I'll have a lot to be grouchy about, what with the libtards having spent all my Social Security. This is assuming of course that Chairman Maobama's socialist healthcare won't have killed me in my 50s.

The best part about this inevitable battery will be the sheer surprise on the punk's face. He'll be the second or third generation raised, indoctrinated and otherwise brainwashed to believe that old people are pathetic weaklings — diaper wearing, walker-using babies one step away from the grave.

Perhaps you've seen some of this brainwashing in action lately? Take the story of the 72 year old woman tasered by a Deputy in Texas. The media hyped this up as a shocking, horrifying tale. She was 72!  The emphasis on this story was Ms. Winkbein's age. Not the fact she resisted arrest and dared the officer to tase her. Or that she didn't sustain injury from her shocking experience. Nope, the media hyped this for shock value, treating age as a disability.

People haven't respected their elders for decades. It's all part of the disciplinary slide our society has fallen onto with the banishment of corporal punishment. Kids aren't taught any respect these days. They don't respect teachers, the police or ministers. Why should they respect some old person?

Commercials showing old people as feeble are very rampant on TV: Ads for adult diapers; Ads for medicine — so old people can have regular, mind-blowing sex; Constant ads for medicines for thisthatorwhaterveritis; The hover round; Big buttoned, simplistic cell phones. Yes, TV has painted a picture of the elderly being so frail they couldn't exist in the wild. And since most kids are raised by TV these days, they of course are going to buy into the Feeb thinking.

But it's not just kids. Adults do it too.

Take the example of a guy I know who recently purchased a house. Next door to a child molester. This guy was going to move his girlfriend in and start a family — next door to a child molester. He was excited to find a foreclosed house he could get for cheap — next door to a child molester. He planned to fix it up and increase it's value. When I pointed out no one intentionally buys a house NEXT DOOR TO A CHILD MOLESTER, he replied "He's old and feeble."

What?!

Let's see, was Chester the Molester wearing an oxygen bottle daily? No. Did he move about with the assistance of a walker or hover round? No. Was he blind? No. In fact, Chester was gainfully employed. He drove a vehicle and went to work on a daily basis. Doesn't sound so feeble to me.

I hoped, for a brief second last week, that the shooting at the National Holocaust Memorial would wake people up. The shooter, James Wenneker von Brunn, was 88 years old! Gasp! How could such a fossil have carried a rifle anywhere, let alone kill someone a third his age?!

But no, the media downplayed the age of the shooter, instead focusing on von Brunn's white supremacist views. There were numerous interviews in which people talked about keeping an eye out for angry people. Thought Police in action?

Don't get me wrong about the elderly. I'm not saying they're evil. Far from it. I'm just pointing out that despite the numerical value attached to their names, they are people — same as you and me. Being sixty or seventy doesn't make you weak. Diseases, disabilities and ailments do. And yes, elderly people can be more prone to those conditions, as when folks get older, their bodies don't heal as well. But that doesn't make them feeble.

Should elderly people get senior citizen discounts? Absolutely. They worked hard and should have earned some respect in their twilight years. They don't get a discount because they're puny weaklings.

Should we open doors for the elderly, or maybe let them cut in line ahead of us? Yes. Not because they are feeble, but out of respect for their prior accomplishments. We may not know what those accomplishments are, since they aren't famous rappers or athletes, but simply making it to 60 or more indicates you have served your time here on planet Earth. That is an accomplishment.

With this respect for the elderly though comes the fact that they don't get a free ride. Should grandma have been tasered? Hell yes. She broke the law, and assaulted a police officer. The fact she was physically able to do so shows she was a good candidate for attitude-readjusting voltage. You aren't respecting the elderly by saying they're too old to get tasered. Your disrespecting them, by assuming they're weak.

And don't forget, one day, you'll be old too.
