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 em bassies and information centers stoned, burned and sacked by mobs operating under orders from dictators who preach “peace” and breed conflict. I am a “tired American"— weary of being lectured by Gen eral DeGaulle (who never won a battle) who poses as a second Jehovah in righteousness and wisdom. I am a “tired American” . . . weary of Nasser and all the other blood sucking leeches who bleed Uncle Sam white and who kick him on the shins and yank his beard if the cash flow fal ters. I am a “tired American” . . . choked up to here on this busi ness of trying to intimidate our government by placard, picket line and sit in by the hordes of the dirty unwashed who rush to man the barricades against the forces of law, order and decen cy. I am a “tired American” . . . weary of the beatniks who say they should have the right to determine what laws of the land they are willing to obey. 1 am a “tired American” . . . fed up with mobs of scabby faced, long haired youths and short haired girls who claim they represent the “new wave” of America and who sneer at the old fashioned virtues of hon esty, integrity, morality on which America grew to great ness.

I am a “tired American” who dislikes clergymen who have made a career out of integra tion causes yet send their own children to private schools. I am a “tired American” who resents those who try to peddle the belief in schools and col leges that capitalism is a dirty word and that free enterprise and private initiative are only synonyms for greed. They say they hate capital ism but they are always right at the head of the line demand ing their share of the Ameri can way of life.
