I’ll be 63 soon. 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 around” 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 or stupid 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 leftwing Congresscritters 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 is by leftwing 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 will have the religious freedom and women’s rights of Saudi Arabia, the economy of Zimbabwe, the freedom of the press of China, the crime and violence of Mexico, the tolerance for Gay people of Iran, and the freedom of speech of Venezuela. Won’t multiculturalism be beautiful?
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 believe “a man should be judged by the content of his character, not by the color of his skin.” I’m tired of being told that “race doesn’t matter” in the post-racial world of President 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 US 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 in an all-knowing government.
I’m tired of a news media that thinks Bush’s fundraising and inaugural expenses were obscene, but that think Obama’s, at triple the cost, were wonderful. That thinks Bush exercising daily was a waste of presidential time, but Obama exercising is a great example for the public to control weight and stress, that picked over every line of Bush’s military records, but never demanded that Kerry release his, that slammed Palin with two years as governor for being too inexperienced for VP, but touted Obama with three years as senator as potentially the best president ever.
Wonder why people are dropping their subscriptions or switching to Fox News? Get a clue. I didn’t vote for Bush in 2000, but the media and Kerry drove me to his camp in 2004.
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, 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 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. Update: People have written to tell me I’d have more sympathy if this was close to me. It is exactly having seen the destruction of alcoholism and heroin addiction in my own family that makes me pretty intolerant of people who are willing to destroy the people around them to indulge themselves.
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”? 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 for citizenship any Hispanic person 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 citizens we need.
Update: A few people have taken this to indicate some bias against Catholics, based on events 400 years ago. While I think they are either too touchy or fail to understand, I was only trying to say that I have zero problem with Catholics wanting to come to the US, but that I have great concerns about Muslims, as a good % of them do want to kill me, or force their religion and moral code on me.
I’m tired of latte liberals and journalists, who would never wear the uniform of the Republic themselves, or let their entitlement-handicapped kids near a recruiting station, 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 and American soldiers are the only troops in history that civilians came to for help and handouts, instead of hiding from in fear. UPDATE: It has rightly been pointed out to me, several times, that I should have included Canadian, Australian and New Zealand troops here. My apologies for slighting these gallant allies of freedom.
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 bi-partisan. And I’m tired of people telling me we need bi-partisanship. I live in Illinois, where the “Illinois Combine” of Democrats and Republicans has worked together harmoniously to loot the public for years. And I notice that the tax cheats in Obama’s cabinet are bi-partisan as well.
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.
Speaking of poor, I’m tired of hearing people with 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 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 get 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. He blogs at www.tartanmarine.blogspot.com
Update: Someone attached a picture of Robert D. Hall, an actor, to some versions and forwarded it on, saying that I was on CSI. We are two different people, and I am not an actor–unless you count running for public office.
And to the folks who said I’m Old and should die and get out of the way, I have IPF, so will comply soon enough.

Outstanding article! My sentiments exactly. Regards,
Condi Rice… seriously?
Wasn’t she plugged into 9/11?
Great read.
I’m not only tired. If anything, I am sick and tired of all the issues and points that are discussed here. But being tired, or sick and tired, is not enough.
The only chance I believe the West has is to get mad. Really mad; angry, with righteous anger.
Into a rage of indignation.

I’m also tired and have almost given up hope for seeing any positive change in our future and even less for our children’s generation.
But for a short time, one who shared our views was elected president and for a season, our hope for the future increased.
Then the 2018 elections happened and we realized maybe there aren’t as many of us as we hoped (or, maybe there were, just negated by corruption; either way, the outcome was the same).
So we who remain, who are about to be cast aside as “old fashioned thinkers,” how do we stop the coming train wreck? It’s coming, but the optimist in me says it’s not inevitable; at least not yet. We are not yet being marched off to the “summer camps” to be retaught how to view the world collectively. Is there anything we can do between now and then?
Well, you asked! So, actually there is a whole lot that can be done on an individual level. I will try to be brief, since books can and have been written about this. First, ask yourself what are you living for. Seriously , what are you doing, or could be doing, that is truly worth your time, attention, and effort. Buddy, your time is limited, and so is mine. Aside from an abiding gratitude to your Creator for having this incredible opportunity to participate as a soul in this material world, ask yourself: just what path is worthy enough for you to attach your soul currently contained in your flesh and blood body to? There may be equals, but can there be a more important, and I dare say a more immediate question? Indeed, this can be unnerving, unsettling, or even terrifying. But in my opinion we must ask, and check in with ourselves periodically for updates, even though once might be enough. What does or could get you raring to go? Or, what, on reflection, do you know you should really do, no matter the cost? It might be caring for an aging parent. It might be having the eye of the tiger and being determined to raise your children the best you can in a difficult and confusing world, giving it all you’ve got. It might be doing the nuts and bolts preparations for the difficult times that are coming, sooner or later.
I only know that the older I get the less time I have for trivialities. Which applies also to recharging and enjoyment. I mean, if we’re out to have fun, let’s really savor it! For sure, the only person you have to work with that you have the best chance of improving, changing, and putting on the right course of action is …… You guessed it ….yourself.
As far as getting others to buy in with what you’re doing, or how you’re living, just know that if you do a good enough job of walking the walk, that others will imitate and follow.
Lastly, take the time to take care of yourself, because the better you feel, the better able you will be able to walk the path you have chosen, and enjoy it along the way.
There is no way to stop the coming “train wreck”. It will big and violent because a reset is in order. All the words ever written will not stop the ensuing insanity, we have fallen too far.
What will you do about it, boomer? Vae victis.
What are you doing about it punk?
Awesome. No wonder I’m always tired too. Also glad I’m out of business and old enough to not give a fuck about people’s feelings anymore.
Any time I happen to cross paths with some liberal douchebag spewing their trash I just excuse myself to the washroom and then find a different group to chat with. I’m all done trying to change their ‘minds’. Too fuckin stupid!
Irishman, that just about covers it. I will add that those who are still holding on to the Grand Golem Cheeto being anything other than a tool will never learn. Could have left out the ultimate tools known in my circles as the Bush Crime Family. And I’m with GCP, Condi Rice?? She works for The Company.
We are all tired, burned out, sick of the idiocracy, the culture of stupid. As I have said many times, STOP playing their game, crash the machine, get the stones to stop tuning in, buying their product, eating their fast food etc. Take your money out of their pockets and you will see change in the other direction, doing nothing will get you more of the same.
If you’re on your way out, and can’t tolerate leaving things as they are, figure out who the problems are – I’d look at the donor lists of the shittiest politicians, for a start – and remove those problems as you go.
I too am tired. Tired of churches embracing the secular world (ie LGBT) instead of the spiritual world.
AMEN Arnold !!
Tell Eb, I said “hello”.
you mean like this?
lutheran female pastor melts down purity rings to create a vagina statue–
=========================
When it comes to women like that … sometimes I think abortion is great.
Sometimes I think Saudi Arabia has the right idea about women’s rights.
Jeebus needs to kick her in the fuck.
Stones. Showers of stones. A stone shampoo.
The Feral Irishman can write truth. He might be tired but I’m getting pissed. These groups are like mass murderers who then commit suicide. They are so full of resentment, so obsessed with tearing the system down (with no better plan to replace it with), so like a Jim Jonesy cult of illegitimate grievance weirdness, who seem smugly sure of their “good intentions” and “just cause” (without facts,morals, knowledge or believe in America or law), that if and when they do destroy this great country they are a gonna just pull the trigger on each other then themselves, just like the mass murderers.
Vandals. The entire university ‘culture’ embraces vandalism. For vandalism’s sake, nothing more. Hatred of the good for being good – envy. Was it a cardinal – or a pope – in Avignon that said “Kill them all, God will sort them out”? Was Hitler elected as a flyswatter? A roach motel? For the vermin that infect our – and Wiemar – ‘culture’?
Term limits, life-time ban on politician & staff becoming lobbyist. Ban Congress from setting own pay & require them to live in congressional dorms. Mandatory hard-core prison time for public servants that fuck their constituents. It’s a start.
a lifetime ban,how are they supposed to cash in on their service?
you’re being kinda hard on ’em ,aren’t you?
Uh. How?
Look, more cultural enrichment. https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2019/01/26/1000-girls-subjected-african-practice-breast-ironing-uk/
I’m tired of being told America is a melting pot or a nation of ideas. America is a Republic founded by white Christian Americans and when that ceases to be , then America does as well.
Lincoln, substantially destroyed the Republic in his war to save the Union.
Followed in the royal footsteps of Hamilton. They probably had a ‘Novo Ordus Seclorum’ in their time too.
History has shown that violence(war) changes the course a nation is taking. Times have been too good for too long in this country. There seems to be a short time in each nation’s history where there is peace and prosperity and then the evil takes over. Like a marble rolling up the sides of a bowl. Each time, violence is necessary to stamp down that evil.
Parents have given a pass to their children in “giving them what I didn’t have.” I just never understood NOT teaching how to be disciplined, learning to live without, earning your way and understanding the difference of necessity versus luxury was protecting children.
What a wonderful tirade. Thank you so very much, sir!
Boomers could be a great ally if only they could see the root cause of the problem.
The Boomers fell victim to the first attempt to remake, or transform, a nation by television advertising. The root cause of all problems is the love of money. The Boomers believed the lie that the American Dream involved selling their children’s future downriver to live better right now. The country’s debt financed a lot of the Boomer bust headed this way.
The Boomers fell prey to the (((Hollywood machine))). We are not designed or trained to recognize subliminal ( and outright) lies messaged to us thru the Talmudvision box. So Boomers, and the following generations, bought it all, hook line and sinker. Add the schools, the (((MSM))), and the Federal government’s slow roll to despotism, and here we are, halfway thru this 4th turning. And it Will get worse before it gets better. Prepare accordingly. (((They))) want you to give up and quit, to die of hopelessness, and leave the ones you love behind to be ravaged and run roughshod over. Don’t go down without a fight, at least take a few of (((them))) with you.
Even more so for the generations that followed us, as anyone can see if they open their eyes (although I am tremendously heartened by the MAGA kids standing up to the Useful Idiots in WDC).
Puhleeez! Do we have to school you too?

I think you missed that depression. Lots of interesting comments.
Excellent articles, end boomer hate now!
All of us who worked to be where we are now in life passing that 65 year old mark are all sick and tired of the nonsense that is MSM , Washington DC BULL SHIT . Wait till your contracted retirement plan vaporizes or better yet the truth is revealed that your 401k plan designed by the eternal circle jerk of Wall Street to K-Street to Capitol Street shows who gains and who loses . Remember you put up 100% of the funding you take 100% of the risk and must absorb 100% of any loses during the time line of your managed 401k “BUT” you only receive 30% of any gains . Sounds like a Mitt Romeny retirement plan for the great unwashed ! Also remember those nonessential government employees from local , state and federal will receive back pay even those who sat on their ass for a month and the pension shortage $7trillon at last count for all government retirement plans nationwide will be collected from you me and the guy behind the tree . The badge wearing minions will be out in force after the legislators and the black robe wearing paracites decide your life savings and your home belongs to them and you are out in the street after the property tax you straight up your poop shoot !
Any question why gun confiscation is so popular even from the politicians who publicly claim not to be for it . If “THEY” ever begin to truly fear average working Americans , the few left standing in their wake of destruction will eventually have their faces crushed !
There should be little doubt what is going on in what was a free republic ! Weaponized judicial systems are now the order of the day , militarized police forces and all have endless supplies of funds thanks to asset forfeiture where you are guilty by assumption and must mount a defense against a levithon with endless funds to crush you with impunity !
I’m tired of “My Pillow” commercials. (Mike Lindell with a net worth estimated at $200 million is a former convict.)
I’m tired of hearing that “fruits and veggies in a capsule” can cure every malady know to man.
Sounds like Stucky’s stuck on home shopping teevee!
Mike Lindell is a MAGA Trump supporter. Speaking at his
rallies and meeting with POTUS in the District of Criminals.
So, Stucky The Jersey Boy Dingleberry can sleep with his
head up his ass for a pillow for all I care.
I only disagree with one point here. The whole Sodomite LGBTQRSVLMNOP thing. The Elites and many in Government and society in general don’t want their Rights to be like in Iran. They’re openly and actively promoting Sodomy and every other perversion under the sun and even going as far as attempting to indoctrinate children through the schools in all those perversions. And in case nobody’s been paying attention, there are people out there now trying to normalize pedophilia and the lowering or abolition of age of consent laws. Yeah, they’re coming for your kids and grandkids. Right now.
But as for everything else said here, the guy just nails it.
I stopped at “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. UPDATE: It has rightly been pointed out to me, several times, that I should have included Canadian, Australian and New Zealand troops here. My apologies for slighting these gallant allies of freedom.”
Too bad it was near the end of the post.
Allies of freedom?
Make the SPECIOUS Allies of freedom.
I’m also tired of TPTB spraying US with harmful chemicals that are cooling Earth and probably cost US over $5B per year and telling US they are protecting US from Global Warming when we are entering a Mini-Ice Age. And that Whites and Asians must still be discriminated against in violation of their “equal under the law” Constitutional Rights because society continues to discriminate against Blacks, as evident by their still inherent inferior mental and behavior performances. And TPTB constantly taking Christian’s Freedom of Religion away; and that Whites, especially Christians, are virtually excluded from legal immigration into America by TPTB: the South African Whites and Middle East Christians are having to migrate to places like Russia. I am tired of waiting to correct ALL of the above problems once and for all.
I guess I’m just tired of the whole shit show. When the white baby boomers are gone America is gone.Maybe before that. America has been sabotaged by the very people who were trusted to protect it. When you understand the reason behind this treason it makes sense. Many of the elites have themselves over to a Luciferian doctrine where they think they will evolve into little gods. They think they will be rulers in a one World government with its headquarters in New York City. They are helped by the secret societies Especially Freemasonry. For any of this to happen they must destroy the white Christian middle class. The ” Take of the world economy ” has already been planned. Once this happens they will get their wishes. They will succeed in destroying us. They also are planning genocide of Christians world wide. It’s all in their Occult writing.
The only hope I have is dying in Christ. ….oh and Stucky but he doesn’t seem very optimistic.
Saw the Who & the Blues Magoos in concert in 66 or maybe 67. The Magoos had costume that lit up with black lights. Cool.
That must’va been a great show! I saw the Strawberry Alarm clock and Steppenwolf in ’68. Groovy!
Very cool choice. I didn’t have this one, thanks.
I’m so tired! I started thinking of that skit with Lili Von Shtupp in blazing saddles.
I’m only a couple years behind you. Sorry to hear about your lungs. But, I don’t know that we’ll get out of here before everything goes to shit and our SS and 401Ks will be squandered in the name of whatever. I actually hope this country will get its shit together before their idiocracy hits rock bottom but its fleeting
I’m tired of people believing the “Red Team” can bring the change they want. They could of got rid of Obamacare and yet… etc. etc. etc. If you are honest with yourself you know who runs this world. Thank Sophia that the Grim Reaper is the ultimate winner in this game.
I wonder if the people who say that the author is old and should die and get out of the way will feel the same way when THEY are 63 years old? Will they follow their own advice and end their lives?
I have a suspicion that they will become strong advocates for “the sanctity of life” for elders as they approach their senior years.
Attempted to read more from the Tired Marine. But Google flashed a warning about security. And bank accounts etc. Something about not bing private. An old Leather Neck is more trustworthy than a 20 year old coder.
I give up.
That’s Daddy’s girl right there. Zbig must be sooooooo proud.

And then for the truly frustrated and ennui-addled among us at TPB is this classic routine from “Blazing Saddles” of the same name as this essay:
“Goddammit, I’m exhausted!”
Great article! I’m very sorry to hear you are suffering from IPF, no wonder you’re sick and tired!! My Mom had that as well and received a lung transplant but unfortunately her body rejected it after a short time. All the best to you with regard to this as well as enduring all the shitty crap going on in this sorry world!
I too am tired. Having been taxed on income, by the state of California, earned outside of the U.S.. In fact first on income from Saudi Arabia, then Iraq and Afghanistan I also had to pay property tax on the house in San Diego. I don’t have children in school, though do understand the importance of education. Not indoctrination. And think primary education is important.
There was a question here once by Muck or Stucky about how one started to read this post. So, in the form of an introduction I will reply to the question.
From Seeking Alpha I followed a link to the Sixty blocks or Squalor or is it Thirty Blocks, I’m at a loss, but know a good and honest report when I read it. So, anyway, I’m 6 feet two inches tall, 180 pounds, blond haired and blue eyed U. S. citizen. And, in response to the question, have been reading this site since about 2008 or so. And, no, I haven’t contributed any funds since I’m a —- (fill in the blank).
Now I’m on an island off the west coast of Thailand having just moved here from a larger island where we, my wife and her grand daughters, lived on a farm. Not sure how this will work out as currently on my desk is a fifth of whiskey, opened pack of cigarettes, shot class and sundry other items I don’t think are important to mention but are here none the less.
Remember, it is all on the level.
Come pheasant season just go to idiot acres(Wildlife Management Areas), shoot some birds and dodge the errant bird shot. Or drift down the Merrimac river striper fishing this spring.
Celebrate the diversity, embrace the madness, but get ready, the Cartels are coming to a city near you.
Like the rest of you I’m tired of this too, but complaining about it doesn’t help. One commenter suggested we get mad about it, well that won’t help either. Instead we need to get busy. We need to be as active in defense of our country, our culture, and our values as those who are attacking us. We can not be complacent and expect our opponents to somehow come to their senses and realize how wrong they are. They believe they are right and are willing to fight for what they believe in. We must do the same, or this country will disappear.
Back in the eighties I used to watch TV evangelist Jimmy Swaggart. He gave a sermon one Sunday called “I’m Sick of It” or at least that is what I labeled on my video cassette of the sermon. He started out soft and slow and then gradually his anger built up until he was prancing back and forth on his stage yelling “I’m sick of ACLU, ERA and G.A.Y.S, I’m sick of the Khomeini’s the Khadafy’s and the Castro’s. I’m sick of pill popping, dope smoking, heroin shooting rock stars, I’m sick of it!
It was a beautiful sermon such that I thought this guy might be the next president of the US. Wish that he had been instead of George Bush but, alas he spent $15 on a hooker and it badly damaged him. I could forgive him for that. I mean $15 was nothing compared to some other TV envangelists who spent millions on their homes or girlfriends but Jimmy was a little too political for TPTB so they really piled on him over a one time indiscretion.
Don’t know if the author reads these comments, his blog is blocked, at least on Opera and Firefox, for invalid security certificate. Not going to read anything into it just pointing it out. If it is as good as this piece was, I want to check it out.
So, here’s the trick with this Invalid Security Certificate on Fire fox,
simply remove the s from https, and then the page will load with no warnings:
if this causes a problem (https://)
then just remove the s (http://)
The s means the page loads with encryption and requires a certificate,
but if it is not a financial site or a site where you need to enter personal info,
then you do not need to receive the encrypted version of it.
Browse safe.
