I had this sent to me and was so much in agreement that I have posted it here.

By Robert A. Hall
 
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 for 7 or 8 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 I must lower my living standard to fight global warming, which no one is allowed to debate.
 
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 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 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 and Britain, while no American, Australian, Canadian group nor British is allowed to fund a church, synagogue or religious school in Saudi Arabia to teach love and tolerance.
 
I'm very 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 63 because, mostly, I'm not going to have to see the world these people are making. I'm just sorry for my granddaughter. (My daughter and her children to come).
 
Robert A. Hall is a Marine Vietnam veteran who served 5 terms in the Massachusetts State Senate.
 
I wrote Britain in red, and I'm tired also of the kow towing to minorities, prisoners, drug dealers, pregnant teenagers with no sense of responsibility for their actions, people who torture animals, paedophiles, dictators,  the list is endless.

Good, isn't it............

After some time pondering the foibles of mankind, I am back... here I am, down below.



I'll start with the weather. Everyone knows that the British love to talk about this, but now it's been pushed to the back seat because of what banks do, what Bliar and co. have done and what the present government is going to do. I don't envy Mr. Cameron, he's inherited a HUGE amount of rubbish from the incapable hands of aforesaid Bliar and Brown. They sound like a comedy act, they look it, but unfortunately due to their actions, are most certainly not. And who is suffering? That lot of poor British people. Yet again.

What else? There's been a lot going on.

Up comes an Iraqi who claims that he was the person who said there were weapons of mass destruction and the USA and UK went to war, against Saddam Hussein who had done, till then, absolutely nothing against either of those countries. He did a lot to his lot, but not to us. So this brilliant person started a war which has killed over 1.700.000 Iraqis, displaced God knows how many more, put into action all the b.s. with the billions going to Iraq, still unaccounted for etc. etc. The list is so long that I don't  have enough space here. What I don't understand, is that the normally super efficient German lot, to whom this miscreant went, didn't investigate his claims properly. Now that to me, is plain bloody stupid. Poor old Hans Blix, whilst toddling about in Iraq, found zilch. BUT, Bush & Bliar had to go with their trumpet calls of the young going to defend their homeland. They forgot to mention that they would most likely be killed as well, but never mind. It's just a few bodies for the glory , isn't it! Well and good, but for what? We all knew it was for oil but the powers that be, didn't. Oh dear.Their information was very off that day. Both of them should be impeached, along with Cheney, Rice, Rumsfeld and probably 6.415 others whose names I can't recall.  But then, what do I know.

Going back to the Bliar. Just LOOK at his smug little prissy face. How anyone ever believed in this person is beyond me, and don't get me on the subject of his dreadful wife. She's a judge, so she must have some brains. On second thoughts, looking at the judicial system of today in the UK, maybe not. 

Off goes our Tone, trotting around the middle east earning an obscene amount of money for spouting his rubbish and pulling the wool over other peoples eyes. Not to be recommended. Since he was an emissary to the middle east, it's disintegrating in front of my eyes! Never have regimes been thrown over so fast! Ah the speed of Twitter, FB, and all the rest. Bet the governments didn't reckon with all that when they became despotic! Ha! So, Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Algeria and Uncle Tom Cobley and all, have been having hissy fits. When's Morocco doing the same? It's been too quiet, the suspense is killing me... I salute the brave people for having enough. Now, all you have to do is get a democratically elected government, not corrupt ( that's funny) and you'll be laughing all the way to the bank. Which, in the cases of Tunisia and Egypt will be difficult, because the ousted presidents have taken them with them! Now we come to my favourite. IRAN!!  A marvellous lot. A prime minister who looks as if he could do with a good wash, the most brutal regime, (and I thought men of God were supposed to be gentle ?), warbling away how wonderful the Egyptians were without any violence in the demonstrations, BUT when the Iranians demonstrate, out come the batons, deaths occur, violence rules and it's a whole different kettle of fish. I see.

Let's have something lighter in tone. 

" I've found an Italian stallion"  Who? Sylvester Stallone? Maybe before, but certainly not after, as in now. Jilted student dons sandwich board in desperate Valentines day appeal for a man, bags herself a date. Now this is sad. But if she thinks she'll be happy with an Italian horse, so be it. She didn't find a man, but maybe she's better off with a horse as a friend. If she doesn't like it, she can sell it.

Great grandmother receives bill for 7p unpaid council tax, from 10 years ago. They say the ways of councils are sometimes tardy, but this is rather overdoing it. did they send it via snail post? and if so, well done snail, you're more intelligent than the council.

I haven't mentioned my old friend the Blobfish for a while. I have heard that he's down in the depths, where he should be, blobbing along quite happily. Good, Mrs. Blobfish was afraid that someone would adopt him, though, with a face like his, I doubt it.

And so endeth the blog of today. I could go on for hours, but will leave some choice things for another date.

Good, isn't it.............
