Right on, Andy Rooney!
Andy Rooney said on "60 Minutes"
A few weeks back:
I don't think being a minority
Makes you a victim of anything
Except numbers.
The only things I can think of
That are truly discriminatory are
Things like the United Negro
College Fund, Jet Magazine,
Black Entertainment Television,
And Miss Black America. Try to
Have things like the United
Caucasian College Fund, Cloud
Magazine, White Entertainment
Television, or Miss White America;
And see what happens...
Jesse Jackson will be knocking
Down your door.
Guns do not make you a killer.
I think killing makes you a killer.
You can kill someone with a baseball
Bat or a car, but no one is trying to
Ban you from driving to the ball game.
I believe they are called the Boy Scouts
For a reason, that is why there are no girls allowed. Girls belong in the Girl Scouts!
ARE YOU LISTENING MARTHA BURKE?
I think that if you feel homosexuality is
Wrong, it is not a phobia, it is an opinion.
I have the right "NOT" to be tolerant
Of others because they are different,
Weird, or tick me off.
When 70% of the people who get
Arrested are black, in cities where
70% of the population is black, that
Is not racial profiling, it is the Law of Probability.
I believe that if you are selling me a
Milkshake, a pack of cigarettes, a
Newspaper or a hotel room, you must
Do it in English! As a matter of fact, if
You want to be an American citizen,
You should have to speak English!
My father and grandfather didn't
Die in vain so you can leave the
Countries you were born in to
Come over and disrespect ours.
I think the police should have
Every right to shoot your sorry
Ass if you threaten them after
They tell you to stop. If you
Can't understand the word
"freeze" or "stop" in English,
See the above lines.
I don't think just because you
Were not born in this country,
You are qualified for any special
Loan programs, government
Sponsored bank loans or tax
Breaks, etc., so you can open
A hotel, c offee shop, trinket
Store, or any other business.
We did not go to the aid of
Certain foreign countries and
Risk our lives in wars to defend
Their freedoms, so that decades
Later they could come over
Here and tell us our constitution
Is a living document; and open
To their interpretations.
I don't hate the rich
I don't pity the poor.
I know pro wrestling is fake,
But so are movies and television.
That doesn't stop you from
watching them.
I think Bill Gates has every right to
keep every penny he made and
continue to make more. If it ticks
you off, go and invent the next
operating system that's
better, and put your name
on the building.
It doesn't take a whole village
to raise a child right, but it does
take a parent to stand up to
the kid; and smack their little
behinds when necessary,
and say "NO!"
I think tattoos and piercing are
fine if you want them, but please
don't pretend they are a
political statement. And, please,
stay home until that new lip
ring heals. I don't want to look
at your ugly infected mouth
as you serve me French fries!
I am sick of "Political Correctness."
I know a lot of black people, and
not a single one of them was born
in Africa ; so how can they be "African-Americans"?
Besides, Africa is a
continent. I don't go around saying
I am a European-American because
my great, great, great, great, great,
great grandfather was from Europe .
I am proud to be from America and
nowhere else
And if you don't like my point of view, tough...
I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE
TO THE FLAG,
OF THE UNITED STATES
OF AMERICA , AND
TO THE REPUBLIC,
FOR WHICH IT STANDS,
ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH
LIBERTY AND JUSTICE
FOR ALL! AMEN!
I was asked to send this on if I agree or delete if I don't. It is said that 86% of Americans believe in God. Therefore I have a very hard time understanding why there is such a problem in having "In God We Trust" on our money and having "God" in the Pledge of Allegiance. Why don't we just tell the 14% to Shut Up ,lay down and BE QUIET!!!
