I’m a 67-year-old retired military veteran who has become very disillusioned with so many things. I don’t know why I bother to voice my concerns. It does absolutely no good whatsoever because the world continues to come apart at the seams all around us. No one is listening. No one cares.
- Apparently the administration will not secure our borders any time soon. Why bother? It’s too late to do anything because the terrorists are already here, hiding amongst us and making their plans to destroy us. And while we wait for these vipers to strike, we provide them with free medical care, free legal assistance, and free education for their children with our tax dollars. They even qualify for Social Security. Isn’t this hilarious? Why aren’t you laughing?
- Why should we try to bring a lasting peace to the Mideast? History shows that it hasn’t worked in that region for hundreds of years. The militant extremists seem to exist just to kill Jews, Americans, and each another. They justify their purpose and actions through an aberrant, twisted version of a decent religion. Instead of wasting more of my tax dollars on a useless cause, let’s pull out of there and let them fight it out amongst themselves. I’m tired of playing the role of world policeman and being hated by the rest of the world for trying to do a good deed.
- The United Nations is about as useful as a dead, beached whale. It is corrupt, it stinks, it serves no purpose, and we must get rid of it before it ruins our beautiful shoreline. Let this America-hating, self-aggrandizing body go somewhere else to poke holes in the air with their fingers. I wonder if they will find another “rube” like the U.S. to fund their meaningless word games and enforce their useless resolutions.
- I no longer have faith in, or trust for any politician of any party in any nation. Most of them are either drooling incompetents or double-talking shysters who are only looking out for their own interests until they can grab that “golden parachute” retirement they voted for themselves. By their very actions they have proven themselves to be unruly, spoiled children who would rather posture, finger-point and squabble with each other than to do what is sensible and right for this nation. The only time they think about their constituency is when they need money or votes at election time. What happened to Patriotism? Is it dead?
- The American judicial system is the best in the world. But it has been turned into an unfair joke by corrupt, agenda-driven judges and ambulance-chasing lawyers who bend and interpret the law for their own use in order to separate me from my rights, my freedom, my money and my property. (See my description of the U.N. in paragraph 3, above.)
- It seems that, other than God, there is only one person in the world that I can trust. It’s time for me to go buy a gun to protect myself from all the evil bullsquat in the world because neither my government nor anyone else is going to do it for me.
