“I’m 76 and I’m Tired”<\/span><\/strong>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nI’m 76<\/span><\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span>Except for brief period in the 50’s when I was doing my National
\nService, I’ve worked hard\u00a0<\/span><\/span>since I was 17. Except for some serious
\nhealth challenges, I put in 50-hour weeks, and didn’t call in sick in nearly
\n40 years. I made a reasonable salary, but I didn’t inherit my job or my
\nincome, and I worked to get where I am. Given the economy, it looks as
\nthough retirement was a bad idea, and\u00a0I’m tired. Very tired.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>
\n
\nI’m tired<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>of being told that I have to “spread the wealth” to people who
\ndon’t have my work ethic. I’m tired of being told the government will take
\nthe money I earned, by force if necessary, and give it to people too lazy
\nto earn it.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\nI’m tired<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>of being told that Islam is a “Religion of Peace,” when every day I
\ncan read dozens of stories of Muslim men killing their sisters, wives and
\ndaughters for their family “honor”; of Muslims rioting over some slight
\noffense; of Muslims murdering Christian and Jews because they aren’t
\n“believers”; of Muslims burning schools for girls; of Muslims stoning
\nteenage rape victims to death for “adultery”; of Muslims mutilating the
\ngenitals of little girls; all in the name of Allah, because the Qur’an and
\nShari’a law tells them to.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>
\nI’m tired<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>of being told that out of “tolerance for other cultures” we must let
\nSaudi Arabia and other Arab countries use our oil money to fund mosques
\nand madrassa Islamic schools to preach hate in Australia , New Zealand ,
\nUK , America and Canada , while no one from these countries are allowed to
\nfund a church, synagogue or religious school in Saudi Arabia or any other
\nArab country to teach love and tolerance..\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>
\n
\nI’m tired<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>of being told I must lower my living standard to fight global
\nwarming, which no one is allowed to debate.
\n<\/span>
\nI’m tired<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>of being told that drug addicts have a disease, and I must help
\nsupport and treat them, and pay for the damage they do. Did a giant germ
\nrush out of a dark alley, grab them, and stuff white powder up their noses
\nor stick a needle in their arm while they tried to fight it off?<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/span>
\nI’m tired<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>of hearing wealthy athletes, entertainers and politicians of all
\nparties talking about innocent mistakes, stupid mistakes or youthful
\nmistakes, when we all know they think their only mistake was getting
\ncaught. I’m tired of people with a sense of entitlement, rich or poor.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>
\n
\nI’m really tired<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>of people who don’t take responsibility for their lives and
\nactions. I’m tired of hearing them blame the government, or discrimination
\nor big-whatever for their problems.<\/p>\n

I’m also tired and fed up with seeing young men and women in their teens and
\nearly 20’s be-deck themselves in tattoos and face studs, thereby making
\nthemselves un-employable and claiming money from the Government.\u00a0<\/span>
\n
\nYes, I’m damn tired.<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0But I’m also glad to be 76.. Because, mostly, I’m not
\ngoing to have to see the world these people are making.\u00a0<\/span>I’m just sorry for
\nmy granddaughter and her children.\u00a0\u00a0 Thank God I’m on the way out and not
\non the way in.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
