OT. Andy Rooney For President

[Ed.R]

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, 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

over here and tell us our constitution is a living document; and open

to

their interpretations.

I don't hate the rich and 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!

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 BE QUIET!!!

Andy has always had a good grasp of things.

Wrestling is fake???????

I don't care who wrote it but my sentiments exactly.

Try throwing an Average Income Heterosexual Caucasian Pride parade sometime.

Kids need their asses whipped when they do wrong, my kid has needed it more than once and I've had my behind tanned a few times.

Our local University is full of foreign students and the gas station/convenience stores are owned by the same. Why? Tax breaks. You and I or our kids can't get the same benefits.

I'm not a Homopbobe as I know a few really good ones but if you hit on me, you're hitting the floor.

English isn't an official language here in the US, it's just the one that we use. I don't know Spanish, French, Chinese or German nor do I try to talk to you in your foreign language as I'd be really bad at it.

Cops, a pistol and a rifle. Me, zero. I don't give anybody carrying a hard time.
