“I’m 74 And I’m Tired” by Bill Cosby

I’m 74 Except for brief period in the 50′s when I was doing my National  Service, I’ve worked hard since I was 17. Except for some some serious  health challenges, I put in 50-hour weeks, and didn’t call in sick in nearly  40 years. I made a reasonable salary, but I didn’t inherit my job or my  income, and I worked to get where I am. Given the economy, it looks as  though retirement was a bad idea, 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 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 and other Arab countries use our oil money to fund mosques  and madrassa Islamic schools to preach hate in Australia, New Zealand,  UK, America and Canada, while no one from these countries are allowed to  fund a church, synagogue or religious school in Saudi Arabia or any other  Arab country 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.
