"I'm 70 and I'm Tired"
"I'm 70 and I'm Tired"
By Robert A. Hall
I'm 70. Except for having 4 children with only a 6 week maternity period , I've worked, hard, since I was 17. Despite some health challenges, I still put in 50-hour weeks, and seldom called in sick in seven or eight years. I made a good salary, but I didn't inherit my job or my income, and I worked to get where I am. Given the economy, retirement is hard, 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 use our oil money to fund mosques and mandrassa Islamic schools to preach hate in America and Canada , while no American nor Canadian group nor Australia 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.
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'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 real 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.
Yes, I'm damn tired. But I'm also glad to be 70. Because, mostly, I'm not going to have to see the world these people are making. I'm just sorry for my grandchildren.

The Mad American unloads on Obama!
Obama is a socialist freak!
Listen to this Mad Man;
1. He is supposed to be the leader, yet he spends 90% of his time fund raising and only in the last couple of weeks does he attempt to deal with the National Debt.
2. Because of his radical views, he was unable to pass a budget, even when his own party controlled both houses of congress.
3. The House of Reps has put forth plans (more than once) to address the budget and now the debt ceiling, yet those plans have been demagogue by Obama. Harry Reid in the Senate will not even allow the plan from the house to be heard, much less voted on. What a coward!
4. Obama now blames everyone else (house of representatives) for his own lack of understanding and leadership.
5. Obama talks about working stiffs, ordinary folks…what does he know about Americans??? He grew up outside of America. He did not work as a child nor did his parents instill any work ethic into him. He knows nothing about working people. His anti American father who Obama admires and wrote about, had nothing but contempt for America, just as the church Obama chose to attend has.
6. Obama rants in his press conference about us knowing we are getting a raw deal. Obama knows nothing! Did he see the last election??? America does not want his socialist agenda!
7. Obama says we are mad at everyone, he is wrong again, we are mad at him and his liberal cronies.
8. Our commander and freak says we no matter how hard we work, we can’t keep up. Keep up with what? Keep up with how you spend money you freak!
9. This A..hole has the balls to stand up in front of American television, and tell us that what we are looking for is someone to stand up and look out for us. I would like to slap this idiot! We are Americans, we can stand up for ourselves, we always have and we always will! We stood up when the largest republican victory was just achieved! Obama, if you want to be king over someone, LEAVE America and go find some sheep to rule over!
10. To say that all we are looking for is someone to take care of us is an insult! Get out of that office and out of our country! Americans can take care of themselves if the government will stay out of the way and stop handicapping us! Obama is attempting to take us where people all over the world, are trying to get out of, government oppression.
11. In his public rant he attacks Americans that stand up for their beliefs. He insults people we chose to listen to on the radio and the news programs we chose to watch.
12. Obama makes it very clear that he has no integrity. A pledge to the American people means nothing to him. A pledge during a political campaign, is nothing more than words spoken to appease the ignorant, unwashed masses in Obamas view. His word, spoken or written down is meaningless. He said so!
13. He talks about worrying about a primary fight…those are his thoughts, Obama owns those. I have heard nothing like that from anyone else. They are concerned about budges, deficits and Americas future. Obama is the one breaking records attending fund raisers and gearing up for re-election.
Obama is a Socialist pig! His agenda should be destroyed before he and his liberal supporters destroy America as we have known it!
If you still support Obama, SHAME ON YOU!
Mad American.

Happy 4th of July! please take a took.
THE EAGLE
This is Amazing...It is no wonder there are scriptural references
to the eagle! I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did.
And, no there is no wonder the bald eagle has such a significant symbolism to our country. What hope…¦!!!!
When it rains, most birds head for shelter; the eagle is the only bird that, in order to avoid the rain, starts flying above the clouds...
An amazing tidbit about the Eagle's eyesight: The eagle can probably identify a rabbit moving almost a mile away. That means that an eagle flying at an altitude of 1000 feet over open country could spot prey over an area of almost 3 square miles from a fixed position.
No wonder God wants us to spread our wings and soar with eagles..

Definition of a loser
Definition of a loser? OBAMA!
You’re the president if the USA. You are the self proclaimed smartest man in the world. You brag about how your economic plan has saved America and that we must continue along your path to recovery.
You belittle and attack a republican budget in the most direct and public way you can.
Then, you present your own world saving plan after measuring the political winds.
Your plan, gets not one vote! Nothing, nadda…
“No senators voted for President Obama's 2012 budget when it came up for a vote in the Senate Wednesday.
A procedural vote to move forward on the president's plan failed 0-97”.
You are the total personification of and complete definition of…”LOSER”
Bet he just wanted to cry

Osama bin Laden and discussed and what I saw on the news
Ashamed, this is what I felt when I returned from the ranch and sat down to see the news of the day.
I saw Americans yelling, screaming and chanting in a joyous celebration of a man’s death.
Here is my view;
After 10 years this man was caught and killed. It is justice and that is all. It needed to be done. To celebrate like I saw on the TV, discussed me. As a man, a Christian and an American, killing and taking of a man’s life is not an occasion to celebrate.
What I saw is the same type of people that burn the American flag, celebrate a fighter pilot plane being shot down and dragging the body through the streets. I think the crowd I saw in front of our white house would have done the same thing to bin ladens body if they had the chance. It disturbs me to see such callousness and hate from anyone.
There has always been joy over a military victory because it would mark a coming peace. We celebrated the end of the world wars, not the killing of the combatants.
With bin laden dead, we did not have a final victory over his organization, just the man. The terrorism will continue.
I am not happy that the murderous bin laden (Master mind of al-Qaida attacks) was killed, I am relieved. I feel a sense of closure and a certain satisfaction that the man who was in charge of such mindless killings was stopped and Justice was done. Still, the war will go on. My problem is after viewing the news last night…I see very little difference between the two crowds that gather for the cameras.

Family discussion on the state of the union;
I was bless with a childhood where the adults would engage in very lively political discussions. Our family is very large and very close, even if we do go to the throat when speaking about the role of government in our lives.
It is very interesting to me how family members with back grounds very much alike, could have such totally different views on political issues.
Case in point is a letter to which I was copied. The letter was to a conservative mother from her daughter asking her to stop sending/forwarding this junk, (a e-mail view point on the government and Muslims).
I will include part of the discussion here so all extremist will fully understand that we can disagree with each other and still show love and respect when engaged in a debate;
For goodness sake mother! Stop sending this junk. These are true, sure....but you have listed 13 horrific incidents here that all involve Muslims, all true. However, think of the horrific events that Catholic priests have done? Think of the red-neck anti-government people like Timothy McVeigh and his counter-parts? Think of David Karesh and the killing he did?
To continue to perpectuate Muslims as the bad guys, when HUMANS through the GRACE OF GOD all have free will. It is the free will within all of us that is either good or evil.
You must know that there are many honorable, loving Muslims.
This sort of hateful perpetuation of stero-typing sound bites is so anti-American, anti Christian and so narrow minded, I continue to be shocked that you buy into it.
Love you, however.
http://www.madamerican.blogspot.com/ says, killem all, let God sort them out. By the way, how is the hope and change working out
Love ya all, stay healthily and safe!
Ps, really miss the Thanksgiving get together…and the lively discussions
Hi Bruce,
Hope and change is working quite well, thank you dear cousin. Our country has stemmed the tide of financial ruin while insuring that you dear one won't get dropped from your insurance because you got ill. It took all Americans to get us into the greedy financial mess we were in and it will take ALL Americans to get us out. This devisive 'kill them all' mentality I think it is the biggest danger to democracy since we became a nation of free people! I pray it stops before God can't tell the al Queda extemists from the ones born right here.
Ha ha, O, .....
I do love you all
Still, never understood how people can have such tunnel vision. This view, that we are out of financial trouble, is not based on anything but a feeling or a need to have that feeling. Facts simply prove otherwise and the recent spending has us on a road to collapse. It is unsustainable and no reasonable person can argue otherwise.
All Americans did not get us into this spending mess. We were attacked by a group whose goal is to eliminate us from the face of the earth, this is their life pursuit. We are at war with them because many of us want to continue living free. Our governments main calling is to protect us, the citizens from outside threats and to secure our borders. The main cause of our current financial position is a direct cause of over spending on the entitlement programs. The housing collapse was caused solely by our good intentioned government. “Everyone has the right to own a home”. Then the liberal controlled congress said it was just fine (mandatory or they could be fined for discrimination) for the banks to lend to people who could not pay the loan back. The tax payers would guaranty it. It was not greed that caused this. It was simply an attitude that we are owed something. Even if we can’t afford it, it’s our right to have it mentality. And to make the citizens love their elected official (daddy) the government said, here, take all the candy you want and I will get you more. No one stopped to see who really provided the candy, or how long they would be able to provide the candy.
Ha ha, the “Killem all” statement is simply a over stated mockery of the (can’t we all just get along) perception from the letters I read.
To study the bible, a student would know that there are two very distinct family lines. The Koran and it’s teachings confirm what the Bible teaches about those family lines. Rest assured that God will sort them all out.
One more little side line note; I have a copy of “The Declaration of Independence. The Constitution of the United States.” It fits in my shirt pocket. A health care plan that is over 2,600 pages long is an abortion. If a comprehensive reform cannot be written in 10 pages then we need to elect representatives that are not lawyers and that are smart enough to write something short and simple.
Our American people will correct the Obama (ever taken the time to look at his appointees?) mess by throwing those bums out and electing citizens with conservative, intelligent, perspectives.
Because you have a opposite political view point from me and most Americans, please, feel free to start your day at my blog site. Very soon you will be able to see and hear me daily as I sip coffee in the morning and express my views to the world.
http://www.madamerican.blogspot.com/
Wish me luck and success, I know you will
Love ya and say hi to all!
I hope I can get more of my family involved in this blog discussion because they all are very bright people who stand by their convictions.
Such open discussion of the issues it a huge benefit to all Americans.

Obama’s War On Christians
President Barack Obama called for a "new beginning between the United States and Muslims". "This cycle of suspicion and discord must end,".
In a gesture to the Islamic world, Obama conceded at the beginning of his remarks that tension "has been fed by colonialism that denied rights and opportunities to many Muslims, and a Cold War in which Muslim-majority countries were often treated as proxies without regard to their own aspirations."
"And I consider it part of my responsibility as president of the United States to fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear," said the president, who recalled hearing prayer calls of "azaan" at dawn and dusk while living in Indonesia as a boy.
Obama quoted the Quran to make his point: "be conscious of God and always speak the truth ..."
"Islam is not part of the problem in combating violent extremism — it is an important part of promoting peace," he said.
“The United States does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlements" on the West Bank and outskirts of Jerusalem, he said. "It is time for these settlements to stop."
As for Jerusalem itself, he said it should be a "secure and lasting home for Jews and Christians and Muslims ..."
It is unbelievable to me that Mr. Obama can be so concerned with the rights of and the promotion of Islam and Muslims while in the State of California in the United States of America, Our government has outlawed private Christian prayer.
Pastor Cited for Holding Home Bible Study Without Permit
A San Diego pastor is fighting a citation from the San Diego County that requires him to obtain a permit to host weekly Bible studies at his home.
Pastor David Jones and his wife Mary have been hosting a Bible Study fellowship at their home every Tuesday for the past five years. The meeting, averaging 15 people each week, is usually comprised of dinner, fellowship and Bible study.
In April, a County employee visited the Jones' residence and informed the couple that they were not allowed to hold "religious assembles" in their home unless they obtained a major use permit. The employee warned that the couple would face fines upwards of $1,000 if they failed to comply with the County's order.
The County later sent the Joneses a written warning ordering them to "cease/stop religious assembly on parcel or obtain major use permit."
Donald Wildmon, chairman of the American Family Association, defended the Bible study meeting on Thursday, urging supporters to sign a petition to the San Diego County Board that calls the County's actions "anti-Christian."
"I am upset that you would shut down a home Bible study of 15 people and yet allow similar secular events," reads the petition. "Your actions appear to have an anti-Christian slant and should cease immediately."
The Joneses and WCLP, according to the letter, are giving the County until early next week to uphold the couple's right to continue holding the Bible study meeting. If the County refuses to comply, the couple is prepared to consider a lawsuit.

Obama bends over
The White House is denying that the president bowed to King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia at a G-20 meeting in London, a scene that drew criticism on the right and praise from some Arab outlets.
"It wasn't a bow. He grasped his hand with two hands, and he's taller than King Abdullah," said an Obama aide, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
The Washington Times called the alleged bow a "shocking display of fealty to a foreign potentate" and said it violated centuries of American tradition of not deferring to royalty. The Weekly Standard, meanwhile, noted that American protocol apparently rules out bowing, or at least it reportedly did on the occasion of a Clinton "near-bow" to the emperor of Japan.
Interestingly, a columnist in the Saudi-backed Arabic paper Asharq Alawsat also took the gesture as a bow and appreciated the move.
"Obama wished to demonstrate his respect and appreciation of the personality of King Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz, who has made one of the most important calls in the modern era, namely the call for inter-faith and inter-cultural dialogue to defuse the hatred, conflict and wars," wrote the columnist, Muhammah Diyab.
