- Who Speaks for the Poor ‘Tired’ American?

We seen to have: stirred up tha: ant
hill a mite by publishing ‘Who Speaks
for Us,” that editorial from the Orillia
Times defending the long-suffering Anglo-
Saxon founders of this country agamst
the attacks by the French C.

,ority.

Now we have a somewhat compar-
‘able editorial from south of the border.
The following excerpts are from the Rock
_ County Herald in Luverne, Michigan, from
an editorial headed “I am a Tired Ameri-

can.” It reades as follows:

“I am‘a tired American.
“I am tired of being called the ugly

American.

“Tam tired of having the world
panhandlers. use my country as a whip-

ping boy 365 days a year.

“T am a tired American — weary of
having American embassies and informa-
tion centres stoned, burned and sacked by
mobs operating under order from dicta-
tors who preach peace and breed con-

“T am a tired American — fed up
with the mobs of scabby-faced, long-haired
youths and short-haired girls who claim
they represent the ‘new wave’.of Ameri- in school
ca and who sneer at the old-fashioned
virtues of honesty, integrity, and morality
on which America grew to greatness.

“T am a tired American — weary onto
death of having my tax dollars go to
dictators who play both sides against the
middle with: threats of what will happen
if we cut off the golden stream of dol-

lars.

“T am a tired American — nauseated
by the lazy-do-nothings who wouldn’t take
a job if you drove them to and from work °

in a Rolls Royce ....

getting madder by'the minute at the filth
