Like my daddy always told me: “If you don’t like things the way they are, change yourself.”
He went from a jailbird to a successful 35-year career in the Marine Corps. I listen to him.
Stop whining and change yourself, and so influence the world a little at a time. My daddy’s lesson.
Posted here already ad nauseum
Obviously, a winner of life's lottery. Obama has no interest in such people. His voters are already sitting on the front stoop, swigging a beer and waiting for his weekly donation from Welfare.
He said it all very well.
The liberal world view is very different than the world view of most of us. And he points out the sharp differences very well.
We need more people like him in gov’t !
I'm also glad to be 63. Because, mostly, I'm not going to have to see the world these people are making.
Nothing at all.
It’ll be interesting when our military members come to the full realization that they are far, far better than any of our ruling class in any measure of morality or ability.
It’ll be even more interesting when they decide to do something about it.
I know how he feels.
I'm tired of hearing the false phrase "Illegals do the work Americans don't want to".
Now Americans will take any job to keep the wolf from the door. I should know after a second layoff.
If he’s reached age 63 with no retirement savings (after time in the Marines and the Mass. state government?) ... if he’s earning a good salary, and his wife is also working, but they’re struggling to get by ... if he’s supporting a non-handicapped adult child, at his age ... then surely he can’t blame *everything* about his life on bad government policies. Wasn’t there any point in his life at which he might have affected the trajectory?
This sounds like a setup or a plant ... or someone who’s assimilated to “I’m a victim, too!” culture without realizing it.
Those drug addicts are collecting Social Security Disability - and getting other perks - I'm tired of that...
Well, I’m 61 and I find his article to be good and true. The difference is that I will be working for good government, working for the candidates whom I support and working to educate those who do not understand what has happened to us.
I will not lay down. Ever.
“I didn’t vote for Bush in 2000”
Great rant! I’m glad to see this formal liberal come around.
the I - Me - My count was 64. While he expresses frustrations we all feel I he falls apart w his line about being glad he won't be around to watch his granddaughter live in a crappy world. If he's just going to give up then get out of the way and let others fight for his granddaughter.
Just wondering if you voted for the pathological liar, union thug that is temporarily living in the White House.
bump for later
No more mosques or madrassas in America until Christian churches can be built in Mecca. Korans not allowed anywhere in America until the Bible is permitted in Saudi Arabia.
This is not descending to their level - it is simply a means of getting their attention. A complete absence of mosques and Korans would be merely an unintended consequence!
