I agree with this . . .

[Frogman]

NOT RACIST, NOT VIOLENT, JUST NOT SILENT ANYMORE !!

-Well written, and I have never read anything before that I agree with in
its entirety like this!

Take a couple of minutes and see what a very sensible man has to say.

By the way, he is also good on CSI.

[cid:1.1781908197@web181603.mail.ne1.yahoo.com]

Robert A. Hall is an actor. He plays 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.
This should be required reading for every man, woman and child in the United
States of America .

"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 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 black president was Condi Rice, or 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 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 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, but 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!

I will send it on.

Good read Jim thanks for sharing..

[FOsteology]

And people think I am over board when I say liberalism and progressive ideology is Americas cancer and it must be eradicated before it destroys us.

Liberal minds are worse to America than crack to a black neighborhood.

[FinsnFur]

This is actually a bogus article that was starting two years ago and has been altered as it makes its journey around the web. Not to mention it's author is not the Robert Hall from CSI, but actually Robert Hall, former Massachusetts state senator.
Just sayin

Jim just think of Dragnet before you read it.

"The story you are about to hear is true. Only the names have been changed to protect the innocent."

OK proceed to story...

[Frogman]

Yea, I liked it anyway, no matter who wrote it!!
