Sorry for Being 63


Â*Â*"I'm Tired" Â*by Robert A. Hall Â*Â*Â*
Â*

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

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

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

I'm Â*tiredÂ*of being Â*told how bad America is by left-wing millionaires like Michael Moore, Â*George Soros, and Hollywood entertainers who live in luxury because of Â*the opportunities America offers. In thirty years, if they get their Â*way, the United States will have the economy of Zimbabwe , the freedom Â*of the press of China , the crime and violence of Mexico , the Â*tolerance for Christian people of Iran , and the freedom of speech of Â* Venezuela . Won't multiculturalism be beautiful?Â*Â*

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

I Â*believeÂ*"a man Â*should be judged by the content of his character, not by the color of Â*his skin." I'm tired of being told that "race doesn't matter" in the Â*post-racial world of Obama, when it's all that matters in affirmative Â*action jobs, lower college admission and graduation standards for Â*minorities (harming them the most), government contract set-asides, Â*tolerance for the ghetto culture of violence and fatherless children Â*that hurts minorities more than anyone, and in the appointment of US Â*Senators from Illinois.Â*Â*

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

wOW...... NOW I feel tired too...

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.

That'll be one hell of a short list....

Just like my Dad…This poor guy is tired of the attaches he has had to fend off his whole life. This country has been under attack. Attack since Lincoln was shot and the First Bank of America took over creating the Federal Reserve banking system. Socialists own the banks…but our wonderful government played it sneak. They gave the bank away…to a private incorporation and then became partners with them. ABSOLUTLY THE FINEST EXAMPLE OF CORRUPTION THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN!!!! This too will be dealt with…and soon!

Every GD person in the world wants to be here and you want to change it!!!!! Or is this the anti immigrant plan...because people want to be here for our FREEDOME...not your GD socalitic agenda. One thing for sure...if you get it… you will damb sure cure the immigration problem!!!

Now every one of you subversives look...the Constitution is what made us great. It is the "peoples law" and we have the Declaration of Independents to use to take control again. You can't keep going Socialist and think things are going to get better.

Our country is in a horrible state because we are founded on Democracy and Democratic principals as out lined in our most precious Constitution of the United States of America. IT IS NOT TOLIT PAPER!

Much of the country is behind a socialist agenda now. NOW… WTF DO YOU THINK IS GOING TO HAPPEN…when you pour oil and water together and shake everyone up in the jar?

If you are for socialist agenda… expect to get the same thing you have gotten sense the Constitution was written…a Republican cannon pointed at your ass!

WE LOVE OUR FATHERS… and we respect them. They founded this country and in blessed remembrance of them we will support and defend what they did for…LIBERTY AND THE AMERICAN WAY… Not your socialistic way. The republic will raise up again!

It’s coming usurpers…don’t think for one minute you will win. You have been tolerated for about as long as this country can stomach you. We have had a gut and a nose full of PC and socialistic agendas stuck up our A….

Listen….1000 or 10,000 pages of HR reform will never be passed…IT IS SOCILISTIC! Some in congress have to be nice because of the Race card being thrown down but BO is shooting himself in the foot, you are going to lose that card. And when you do…we will be ready willing and able to straiten out the crap you have been pulling. Then you can follow your Muslim faults POTUS to hell if you want to…because in America you still have that choice!
This is what you usurpers are asking for:

Socialism; is an economic system with state ownership or control of the all the major means of production and distribution of goods and services. The central goal is to establish a "worker's paradise"-an ideal state with perfect equality. In practice the socialist government owns the banks, railroads, farmlands, factories, and stores, and is the only employer. (People sometimes are allowed to have small gardens.) The central goal is to destroy the "evils of capitalism" by government ownership of the means of production, usually with one party controlling the government on behalf of the working class.

The socialist system never manages to establish this "paradise" because management for the benefit of the employees leads to featherbedding and lack of investment or economic growth, at the expense of consumers. Collective farming (operating farms like factories) sharply reduced the food supply. The most thoroughgoing efforts by Communist regimes turned into authoritarian dictatorships. The government controls all investments, production, distribution, income, and prices, as well as all organizations, schools, news media and formerly private societies. Churches and labor unions are suppressed or controlled by the government. Socialism is the antithesis of capitalism, opposes private ownership of capital or land, and rejects the free market in favor of central planning. It also rejects "civil society" and makes sure that all organizations are controlled by the government.

Don't you understand that this is the direction that your new messiah is taking you sheeple people? You think you have nothing now…just wait and see what happens if you get your NEW WORLD AGENDA…

Get it…got it…good….

Sadly, I believe that too many immigrants that come to this country today equate entitlements with freedom. You can thank our government for that....

Hummm...very good point. I saw a video at a rally and the guy said they have "alian rights" in the Constitution. When the vid guy tryed to explain he got really pissed and called him "you are just another lying gringo..."

I was in a fight with a contractor that I over heard telling his [Mod edit} that the government supports them and that they get paid less so they can get the benifits.
