Don't know if this is really true, but it sure rings true with me:


Andy Rooney on America:

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 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 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.

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 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 here 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 here and tell us our constitution is a living document thatis 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 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.

 

umm it should be American Fries...not french btw.....

 

I like him, he tells it like it REALLY is...

If you don't like things here in America and how we go about our ways then GET OUT, and GO HOME...

 

Very true, very true.

I could agree on everything there. It is those kinds of things that are making this country go downhill fast. Everything that happens, or every law that is passed there is always someone who will try and argue it because it offends them or something. People think they can get away with things just because they are rich or they think they are special because of their religion or their race.

All I can say to these people is BIG DEAL! To me, it doesn't matter how rich you are or what your religion or race is, you DO NOT have any special privelidges and rights.

I think I could add one more to his list
Any person who does not speak pure english does not belong working for our government.

I had this happen the other day. I had to call a government office and could barely understand the lady because she only spoke with such a heavy hispanic (I guess it was hispanic) accent, that I just had to say "Sorry, i can't understand you"

 

I agree with everything BUT that comment about Bill Gates money.
He should share with me!

 

Why "ASK" them to leave if they dont like it? If they stress that our country is living wrong...lets "escort" them back to theirs...hell I'd be willing pay an "idiot deportation" tax every freakin' year for that kinda satisfaction

 

Andy Rooney should run for president, he's the chit!

 

Count me in on the "idiot deportation" Tax! (it ought to be the price of a bullet with one of ours pointing at their *** making sure they leave the country the same way they got here - he he) It's worth it.

 

andys the man..i will watch "60 minutes" just to hear what he has to say

 

AMEN!!!!

 

Now this is someone I would call a very good friend...

 

If only it were true.

As I read iat I knew it wasn't Rooney's. He's pretty far left and anti Bush. Thought we shouldn't invade Iraq, leave them alone and they will leave us alone mentality.

 

Yeah, there's no way Rooney wrote that...there's no way CBS would let him write it, and if he had a lapse of sanity and did write it and allowed it to get to print, you'd hear the firing of his *** around the world.

Not that it doesn't sound like a lot of his stuff. They caught his essence. He probably even agrees with a lot of it.

I agree with A LOT of it.


k

 

yes I agree with everything on there, but I guarantee Andy Rooney didnt write that. CBS would have his *** off the air so fast, he wouldnt be able to say, weaponsofmassdestruction
