These are my sentiments exactly and have added my own.

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 McMansions 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 help them with their own money.  

I'm tired of being told how bad America /Canada is by left-wing millionaires like Michael Moore, George Soros and Hollywood Entertainers who live in luxury because of the opportunities America offers.   In thirty years, if they get their way, the United States and Canada will have the economy of Zimbabwe , the freedom of the press of China , the crime and violence of Mexico , the tolerance for Christian people of Iran , and 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 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 "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.

I'm tired of being told that out of "tolerance for other cultures" we must let Saudi Arabia use our oil money to fund mosques and madrassa Islamic schools to preach hate in America and Canada , while no American nor Canadian 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 carbon footprint is about 1% of the lying hypocrite 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 damn 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 the ones who aren't working, but are living on welfare or crime.   What's next?   Calling drug dealers, "Undocumented Pharmacists"?   Not to mention the whores and prostitues being called "Working Girls" in the "Sex Trade"??   I'm not against any Hispanics.   I'm willing to fast track for citizenship any Hispanic person, who can speak and read English, doesn't have a criminal record and who is self-supporting without family on welfare, or who serves honorably in our military....   Those are the citizens we need.  

I'm tired of liberals and journalists, who would never wear the uniform of our Republic themselves, trashing our military.   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 the deal.   I'll let myself be subjected to all the humiliation and abuse that was heaped on terrorists at Abu Ghraib or Gitmo, and the critics can let themselves 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, Canadian 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'm tired of the political corruption, Un-ethical and Criminal behavior of our elected representatives without having to face the charges in our judicial system.   Not to mention the non-existant penalties the tax cheats in Obama's cabinet payed the IRS.  

I'm tired of the anti-gun zealots, liberals and progressive socialist constantly hedging to remove the 2nd Amendment and government's attempting to curb the gun ownership rights of its citizens.

I'm tired of hearing wealthy athletes, entertainers and politicians of both 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 tired of hearing people with air-conditioned homes, digital TV's, cell phones 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 like have to keep changing the definition of poor to keep the dollars flowing.  

I'm tired of people who don't take responsibility for their lives and actions.   I'm tired of hearing them blame the government, discrimination, broken home's and childhood dificulties or whatever for their problems, misfortunes or criminal doings.

I'm tired of funding the military that is protecting the borders and sovereignty of foreign countries under Washington's orders, while the current and past administrations have had a blasé attitude towards our own borders or sovereignty.

I'm damn tired.   But, I'm also glad to be a Senior.   Because, I'm not going to see our great nation fall and fail, and become a 3rd world nation that the current legislators and the administration are creating from with-in.....  
I just feel sorry for my children and grandchildren for not having lived or experienced life in a country America once was.
