I AM A TIRED AMERICAN
“I wanted to tell you that I wasn’t at class last Wednesday
because of th’ virus, and wasn’t there Tuesday because of
a relapse!”
By ALAN McINTOSH
Publisher, The Rock County
Herald, Luverne, Minn.
I am a tired American.
I’m tired of being called the
ugly American.
I’m tired of having the world
panhandlers use my country as a
whipping boy 365 days a year.
I am a tired American — weary
of having American embassies
and information centers stoned,
burned, and sacked by mobs op
erating under orders from dicta
tors who preach peace and breed
conflict . . .
I am a tired American—choked
up to here on this business of
trying to intimidate our Govern
ment by placard, picket line, and
sit-ins by the hordes of dirty un
washed who rush to man the bar
ricades against the forces of law,
order, and decency.
I am a tired American—weary
of the beatniks who say they
should have the right to deter
mine what laws of the land they
are willing to obey.
I am a tired American—fed up
with the mobs of scabby-faced,
long haired youths and short-
haired girls who claim they repre
sent the “new wave” of America

We’ll do anything to make
you happy.
Even bleed for you.
This is Arrow’s authentic,
imported, India madras. If it
doesn’t bleed, you’ve bought the
wrong shirt. Other features to
look for: elbow-length sleeves,
back collar button, box pleat and
hanger loop. Lots of Arrow India
madras shirts to choose
from. $8.00 Not too much to
spend, when you consider what
we’re doingforyou.

India Madras...
Guaranteed to Bleed!
If it doesn’t bleed, it’s not an authentic
Arrow imported Madras! But bleeding
isn’t all... these good looking shirts also
feature elbow-length sleeves, back collar
button, box pleat and hanger loop. So
many handsome plaids to choose from,

and who sneer at the old-fashion
ed virtues of honesty, integrity,
and morality on which America
grew to greatness.
I am a tired American—weary
unto death of having my tax dol
lars 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.
I am a tired American—nause
ated by the lazy-do-nothings who
wouldn’t take a job if you drove
them to and from work in a Rolls
Royce . . .
I am a tired American—who is
getting madder by the minute at
the filth peddlers who have
launched Americans in an ob
scenity race, who try to foist on
us the belief that filth is an inte
gral part of culture . . .
I am a tired American—weary
of the bearded bums who tramp
the picket lines and the sit-ins—
who prefer Chinese Communism
to capitalism—who see no evil in
Castro, but sneer at President
Johnson as a threat to peace.
I am a tired American—who
has lost all patience with that
civil rights group which is show
ing propaganda movies on col
lege campuses from coast to
coast — movies denouncing the
United States, movies made in
Communist China.
I am a tired American—who is
angered by the self-righteous
breastbeater critics of America,
at home and abroad, who set im
possible yardsticks for the United
States, but who never apply the
same standards to the French, the
British, the Russians, the Chi
nese.
I am a tired American—who
resents the pimply-faced beatniks
who try to represent Americans
as the “bad guys on the black
horses.”
I am a tired American—who is
weary of some Negro leaders
who, for shock purposes, scream
four-letter words in church meet
ings.
I am a tired American—sicken
ed by the slack-jawed bigots who
wrap themselves in bedsheets in
the dead of night and roam the
countryside looking for innocent
victims.
I am a tired American—who
dislikes clergymen who have
made a career out of integration
causes, yet send their own chil
dren to private schools.
I am a tired American—who
resents those who try to peddle
the belief in schools and colleges
that capitalism is a dirty word
and that free enterprise and priv
ate initiative are only synonyms
of greed. They say they hate
capitalism, but they are always
at the head of the line demand
ing their share of the American
way of life.
I am a tired American—who
gets more than a little bit weary
of the clique in our State Depart
ment which chooses to regard
policy of timidity as prudent —
the same group who subscribes to
a “no-win” policy in Vietnam.
I am a tired American—real
tired of those who are trying to
sell the belief that America is
not the greatest nation in all the
world — a generous-hearted na
tion—a nation dedicated to the
policy of trying to help the “have
nots” achieve some of the good
things that our system of free
enterprise broght about.
I am an American—who gets
a lump in his throat when he
hears the “Star Spangled Ban
ner” and who holds back tears
when he hears those chilling high
notes of the brassy trumpet when
Old Glory reaches the top of the
flag pole.
I am a tired American—who
wants to start snapping at those
phony “high priests” who want
us to bow down and worship their
false idols and who seek to
troy the belief that America
the land of the free and the hoc
of the brave.
I am a tired American-wi
