I'M TIRED
reading for every man, woman and child
"I'm 83 and I'm
Tired"
I'm 83. Except for
brief period in the 50's when I was doing my National
Service, I've worked hard since I was 17. Except for
some some serious health challenges, I put in 50-hour
weeks, and didn't call in sick in nearly 40 years. I
made a reasonable salary, but I didn't inherit my job
or my income, and I worked to get where I am. Given
the economy, it looks as though retirement was a bad
idea, 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 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 out of
"tolerance for other cultures" we must let Saudi
Arabia and other Arab countries use our oil money to
fund mosques and madrassa Islamic schools to preach
hate in Australia , New Zealand UK, America and Canada
, while no one from these countries are allowed to
fund a church, synagogue or religious school in Saudi
Arabia or any other Arab country 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.
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 or stick a needle in their arm while they tried
to fight it off?
I'm
tired of
hearing wealthy athletes, entertainers and politicians
of all 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.
I'm really
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. I'm also tired and fed up with seeing
young men and women in their teens and early 20's
be-deck them selves in tattoos and face studs, thereby
making themselves un-employable and claiming money
from the Government.
Yes, I'm damn
tired. But I'm also glad to be 83..
Because, mostly, I'm not going to have to see the
world these people are making. I'm just sorry for my
granddaughter and their children. Thank God
I'm on the way out and not on the way in.
When one is down, the others pick them up. We are a resilient people and we will carry on and we will succeed.
We can do this if we bow the the Lord God of Heaven and humbler ourselves before Him. If we are part of His army, we will never be defeated.
FABULOUS POST!
I must lower my living standard to fight global warming -People who don't take responsibility for their lives and actions
Tolerance for other cultures" but not for mine ! I am sorry that grandsons and their children-are going to see this kind of world too!!!!! This is all too true !!!!! Scary is it NOT !!!!!
BOTH parties. I think if we do a thorough enough job of general
housecleaning, there will be some progress made. If for no other reason
than the ones left (and the new ones elected will know their necks can
and will be on the chopping block if they don't do what their supposed
to do, namely work for the people and the country instead of themselves.
And so,, I WATCHED and I LISTENED.. For MANY years I watched and I listened and LO and BEHOLD,, I have lived LONG enough to see and hear the Stirrings for which I have long awaited..
The sleeping Giant has awakened.. The Silent Majority has found it's voice and I am alone no longer..
I,, am ENERGIZED..
Then it is time for REVOLUTION..
If THAT doesn't wake people up then I FEAR you are right..
America is as DEAD as THEY are..
we are ready......for whatever comes to pass.! Thanks for the GREAT post.!
