"I'm
63 and I'm
Tired"



by
Robert A. Hall



I'm
63. Except
for one semester in college when jobs were scarce and a six-month
period when I was between jobs, but job-hunting every day, I've worked,
hard, since I
was 18. Despite some health challenges, I still put in 50-hour weeks, and
haven't called in sick in seven or eight years. I make a good salary, but I
didn't inherit my job or my income, and I worked to get where I am. Given
the economy, there's no retirement in sight, and I'm tired. Very
tired.




I'm
tired of
being told that I have to "spread the wealth" to people who don't have my work
ethic. I'm tired of being told the government will take the money I earned,
by force if necessary, and give it to people too lazy to earn
it.




I'm
tired of
being told that I have to pay more taxes to "keep people in their homes."
Sure, if they lost their jobs or got sick, I'm willing to help. But
if they
bought McMansions at three times the price of our paid-off, $250,000 condo, on
one-third of my salary, then let the left-wing Congress-critters who passed
Fannie and Freddie and the Community Reinvestment Act that created the bubble
help them with their own money.




I'm tired of
being told how bad America is by left-wing millionaires like Michael
Moore, George Soros and Hollywood Entertainers who live in luxury because
of the opportunities America offers. In thirty years, if they
get their way, the United States will have the economy
of Zimbabwe , the freedom of the press
of China , the crime and violence of Mexico ,
the tolerance for Christian people of Iran , and the
freedom of speech of Venezuela .




I'm
tired of
being told that Islam is a "Religion of Peace," when every day I can read dozens
of stories of Muslim men killing their sisters, wives and daughters
for their family "honor"; of Muslims rioting over some slight offense; of
Muslims murdering Christian and Jews because they aren't
"believers"; of Muslims burning schools for girls; of Muslims stoning teenage
rape victims to death for "adultery"; of Muslims mutilating the genitals of
little girls; all in the name of Allah, because the Qur'an and Shari'a law
tells them to.




I'm
tired of
being told that "race doesn't matter" in the post-racial world
of Obama, when it's all that matters in affirmative action jobs, lower
college admission and graduation standards for minorities (harming them the
most), government contract set-asides, tolerance for the ghetto culture of
violence and fatherless children that hurts minorities more than anyone, and in
the appointment of U.S. Senators
from Illinois.




I
think it's
very cool that we have a black president and that a black child is doing
her homework at the desk where Lincoln wrote
the Emancipation Proclamation. I just wish the black president
was Condi Rice, or someone who believes more in freedom and the individual
and less arrogantly of an all-knowing government.




I'm tired of
a news media that thinks Bush's fundraising and inaugural expenses were
obscene, but that think Obama's, at triple the cost, were wonderful; that thinks
Bush exercising daily was a waste of presidential time, but Obama exercising is
a great example for the public to control weight and stress; that picked over
every line of Bush's military records, but never demanded that Kerry release
his; that slammed Palin, with two years as governor, for being too inexperienced
for VP, but touted Obama with three years as senator as potentially the best
president ever. Wonder why people are dropping their subscriptions or switching
to Fox News? Get a
clue. I didn't vote for Bush in 2000, but the media and Kerry drove me to his
camp in 2004.




I'm
tired of
being told that out of "tolerance for other cultures" we must
let Saudi Arabia use our oil money to fund mosques and
madrassa Islamic schools to preach hate in America , while no American
group is allowed to fund a church, synagogue or religious school in
Saudi Arabia to teach love and tolerance.




I'm
tired of
being told I must lower my living standard to fight global warming,
which no one is allowed to debate. My wife and I live in a two-bedroom
apartment and carpool together five miles to our jobs. We also own a
three-bedroom condo where our daughter and granddaughter live. Our carbon
footprint is about 5% of Al Gore's, and if you're greener than Gore, you're
green enough.




I'm tired of
being told that drug addicts have a disease, and I must help support and
treat them, and pay for the damage they do. Did a giant germ rush out of a dark
alley, grab them, and stuff white powder up their noses while they tried to
fight it off? I don't think Gay people choose to be Gay, but I damn sure think
druggies chose to take drugs. And I'm tired of harassment from cool people
treating me like a freak when I tell them I never tried marijuana.




I'm
tired of
illegal aliens being called "undocumented workers," especially the ones who
aren't working, but are living on welfare or crime. What's next?
Calling drug dealers, "Undocumented Pharmacists"? And, no, I'm not
against Hispanics. Most of them are Catholic, and it's been a few hundred
years since Catholics wanted to kill me for my religion. I'm willing to
fast track for citizenship any Hispanic person, who can speak English, doesn't
have a criminal record and who is self-supporting without family on
welfare, or who serves honorably for three years in our military.... Those
are the citizens we need.




I'm
tired of
latte liberals and journalists, who would never wear the uniform of the
Republic themselves, or let their entitlement-handicapped kids near a recruiting
station, trashing our military. They and their kids can sit at home, never
having to make split-second decisions under life and death circumstances, and
bad mouth better people than themselves. Do bad things happen in
war? You
bet. Do our troops sometimes misbehave? Sure. Does this compare with the
atrocities that were the policy of our enemies for the last fifty years and
still are? Not
even close. So here's the deal. I'll let myself be subjected to all
the humiliation and abuse that was heaped on terrorists at Abu Ghraib or
Gitmo, and the critics can let themselves be subject to captivity by the
Muslims, who tortured and beheaded Daniel Pearl in Pakistan, or
the Muslims who tortured and murdered Marine Lt. Col. William Higgins in
Lebanon, or the Muslims who ran the blood-spattered Al Qaeda torture rooms
our troops found in Iraq, or the Muslims who cut off the heads of schoolgirls
in Indonesia, because the girls were Christian. Then we'll compare notes.
British and American soldiers are the only troops in history that civilians
came to for help and handouts, instead of hiding from in fear.




I'm tired of
people telling me that
their party has a corner on virtue and the other party has a corner on
corruption. Read the papers; bums are bipartisan. And I'm tired of people
telling me we need bipartisanship. I live in Illinois , where the
"Illinois Combine" of Democrats has worked to loot the public for years.
Not to mention the tax cheats in Obama's cabinet.




I'm tired of
hearing wealthy athletes, entertainers and politicians of both parties
talking about innocent mistakes, stupid mistakes or youthful mistakes, when we
all know they think their only mistake was getting caught. I'm tired of
people with a sense of entitlement, rich or poor.




Speaking
of poor, I'm tired of hearing
people with air-conditioned homes, color TVs and two cars called poor. The
majority of Americans didn't have that in 1970, but we didn't know we were
"poor." The poverty pimps have to keep changing the definition of poor to keep
the dollars flowing.




I'm real
tired of
people who don't take responsibility for their lives and actions. I'm tired
of hearing them blame the government, or discrimination or big-whatever for
their problems.




Yes,
I'm damn tired. But
I'm also glad to be 63. Because, mostly, I'm not going to have to see the
world these people are making. I'm just sorry for
my granddaughter.


THANKS, MAC, FOR SENDING. I'M SENDING ALONG.

This is your
chance to make a difference.

Thanks as usual, Chuck and thanks, Shirley for your post - says it all. The following is from the newsletter of Dr Sam Gipp, September 2008. "Texas 1845, Preamble [to its Consitution]. We the People of the Republicof Texas, acknowledging, with gratitude, the grace and beneficence of God..." All American states had a similar preamble in their constitutions at their inception. To start reclaiming the US, you have to start somewhere and Texas sounds like an ideal place to do that.

Texas ignorant.
