Andy
Rooney didn't really say 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 behind 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. 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... |
