Andy Rooney said on "60 Minutes" (CBS) a few weeks back:
(Got this in an email, so excuse the spacing please.)


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, which 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
you 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, 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 ov er
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, gr
eat, 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
***, INDIVISIBLE, WITH
LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!



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 ***. Therefore I have a
very hard time
understanding why there is such a problem in having
"In *** We Trust" on our
money and having "***" in the Pledge of Allegiance.
Why don't we just tell
the 14% to BE QUIET!!!



If you agree, pass this on, if not delete. ..
