Andy Rooney said on 60 minutes a few weeks back:
(for those of you that don't know Andy Rooney, he
is a 82 year old US TV commentator)
I like big cars, big boats, big motorcycles, big
houses and big campfires.
I believe the money I make belongs to me and my
family, not some governmental stooge with a bad comb-over
who wants to give it away to crack addicts for squirting
out babies.
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 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.
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 know what sex is, and there are not varying degrees
of it. If I received sex from one of my subordinates
in my office, it wouldn't be a private matter or my
personal business. I would be "FIRED" immediately!
I believe that if you are selling me a milk shake,
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 self 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 feel much safer letting a machine with no political
affiliation recount votes when needed. I know what
the definition of lying is.
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, coffee 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 believe a self-righteous liberal or conservative
with a cause is more dangerous than a Hell's Angel
with an attitude.
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. Ask your
buddy that invented the Internet to help you.
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 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. DON'T
PASS IT ON!!
