the coroner on CSI if you watch that show. He also is a Marine Vietnam War
veteran, but does not mention that he had his legs blown off in that war.

“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 hardsince 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 Mc Mansions 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 use their own money to help them.

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 provided to them. In thirty years, if
they get their way, the United States will have:

1. the economy of
Zimbabwe
2. the freedom of
the press of China
3. the crime and
violence of Mexico
4. the tolerance
for Christian people of Iran
5. 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 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 Sharia’s 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  president was someone who believes more
in freedom and the individual and less arrogantly in an all-knowing
government.

I’m tired
of being told that out of “tolerance for other
cultures” we must not complain when Saudi Arabia uses the money we pay
for their oil to fund mosques and madras 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
#@*# 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 those who aren’t working but 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 citizenship for any Hispanic 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 kind of citizens we need.

I’m tired
of the trashing of our military by latte liberals and
journalists who would never wear the uniform of the Republic themselves, or
let their entitlement handicapped kids near a recruiting station. 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 a deal for those folks. I’ll let myself be subjected to all the
humiliation and abuse that was heaped on terrorists at Abu Ghraib or Gitmo,
while the critics of our military can be subject to captivity by the Muslims,
who tortured and beheaded Daniel Pearlin
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 tellingme
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 looted the public treasury 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 all of us know they think
their only mistake was getting caught. 

Speaking of poor, I’m tired
of people with a sense of entitlement who
have 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, rich or poor, 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 tired, b
ut I’m also glad to be 63, mostly because I’m not going
to have to see the world these people are making. I’m just sorry for my
granddaughter.

Robert A. Hall is a Marine Vietnam veteran who served five terms in the
Massachusetts State Senate.

There is no way this will be widely publicized unless each of us sends it on!
