I did not write this but I could have because it describes my life and my feelings as a senior citizen patriot.

I’ve worked hard all my life, most times I put in 45-60+ hours a week. I sacrificed being away from my family for days, and sometimes weeks at a time, to provide for them! I made a reasonable salary, but I didn't inherit my job or my income, and I worked to get where I am. I juggled being a father, a husband, a grandfather, a teacher, a bus driver, a business owner, a community servant, an elected official, a friend, and an employee. It wasn’t always easy. I'm no saint, but I DID IT, and I made sacrifices to do it. Sometimes I missed my wife’s, children’s, and grandchildren’s birthdays, school functions, or being able to spend holidays with them! I'm tired of being told that I have to "spread the wealth" to people who don't have my work ethic, sometimes to people that have sacrificed nothing.
I'm tired of being told that the government will take the money that I earned, by force if necessary, and give it to people that are too lazy to work!
I'm tired of being told that I must lower my living standard to fight global warming, which I am not allowed to debate.
I'm tired of hearing wealthy athletes, entertainers, and politicians of all parties, talk like their opinions really matter to the common person.
I’m tired of any of these people even pretending that they can relate to my life and circumstances!
I'm tired of people with a sense of entitlement, whether they are rich, OR poor.
I’m upset that I’m labeled as a racist because I am proud of law enforcement and believe in border security!
I’m tired of being told that I need to accept the latest fad, or politically correct stupidity, of befriending a group that is intent on killing me, because I won’t convert to their religion, or their laws.
I'm really tired of people who don't take responsibility for their lives and actions, especially the ones that want me to fund it.
I'm tired of hearing them blame their problems on discrimination, or the government.
I’m also tired of hearing that, because I believe in putting America First, that I’m a racist.
I’m tired of hearing that if I believe in Legal Immigration of Immigrants, that I’m cruel, bigoted, insensitive, uncaring, racist and an elitist, just to name a few.
Yes, I'm really tired.
But, I'm also glad to be in the fourth quarter of my life.
Because, mostly, I'm not going to have to see the world that these people are creating.
I am thankful that I'm on the way out, and not on the way in.
I just hate knowing that my children and grandchildren will have to face this screwed up world, which can only be redeemed by putting God back in our homes, schools, and country!!!!!

I can guarantee you anyone who did or would write this wouldn't be voting Democrat in the next election.  The sad thing is that I very much believe in a two party system with strength in diversity of opinion and not one party rule however  the Democratic Party has become ONE Singular party within a party rule.  You're either uber liberal or you are not welcome.  The two party system works best when there are various levels and inner diversity within a party and where both parties work together for the good of the people rather than the party.  

Today that is not the case and the Democrats are 100% against anything. Trump is for due to their intense, seething, deranged hatred for Donald Trump and possibly extending to all Conservatives.  I don't know if that will change anytime soon because the Democrats have exiled most all moderates and definitely Conservative Democrats from their party and it is an exclusive club these days.

"I’m tired of hearing that if I believe in Legal Immigration of Immigrants, that I’m cruel, bigoted, insensitive, uncaring, racist and an elitist, just to name a few.

I'm so sick of it that I don't even want legal immigration any longer! To much criminal and dangerous trash sneaking in under that guise. As for the rest...the reason I have zero interest in saving the planet. Let her die in peace.

this is lots of people,,,, paid over 40 years to social security and government rob us.  while fed. employees, state employees, teachers (who worked 2/3 the hours paid into their fund for 25 years and get full paycheck.   

kids go to college and don't want to pay the bill,,, get mad at the bank, when it is the colleges that over charged them.

now democrats want to give free healthcare to illegals.   dumbdumb of NY just cried about one person who died however nothing about those died from illegals.

What does this mean? Open question to anyone.

Serious question. Because it seems the person who wrote this doesn't recognize the system we all live in.

Because Republicans are spoon fed the narrative in the few media sources they deem 'reputable'. They believe the only way to heaven is through the Republican Party.

I'm tired, too. Tired of seeing Republicans whine about problems created by Republicans.
