Andy Rooney said on 60 minutes a few weeks back:
\n(for those of you that don’t know Andy Rooney, he is a 82 year old US
\nTV commentator)
\nI like big cars, big boats, big motorcycles, big houses and big
\ncampfires.
\nI believe the money I make belongs to me and my family, not some
\ngovernmental stooge with a bad comb-over who wants to give it away to
\ncrack addicts for squirting out babies.
\nGuns do not make you a killer. I think killing makes you a killer.
\nYou can kill someone with a baseball bat or a car, but no one is trying
\nto ban you from driving to the ball game.
\nI believe they are called the Boy Scouts for a reason, that is why there
\nare no girls allowed. Girls belong in the Girl Scouts!
\nARE YOU LISTENING MARTHA BURKE?
\nI think that if you feel homosexuality is wrong, it is not a phobia,
\nit is an opinion.
\nI don’t think being a minority makes you a victim of anything except
\nnumbers. The only things I can think of that are truly discriminatory
\nare
\nthings like the United Negro College Fund, Jet Magazine, Black
\nEntertainment Television, and Miss Black America. Try to have things
\nlike the United Caucasian College Fund, Cloud Magazine, White
\nEntertainment Television, or Miss White America; and see what
\nhappens. Jesse Jackson will be knocking down your door.
\nI have the right “NOT” to be tolerant of others because they are
\ndifferent, weird, or tick me off.
\nWhen 70% of the people who get arrested are black, in cities where
\n70% of the population is black, that is not racial profiling, it is the
\nLaw of Probability.
\nI know what sex is, and there are not varying degrees of it. If I
\nreceived sex from one of my subordinates in my office, it wouldn’t be
\na private matter or my personal business. I would be “FIRED”
\nimmediately!
\nI believe that if you are selling me a milk shake, a pack of cigarettes,
\na
\nnewspaper or a hotel room you must do it in English! As a matter of
\nfact, if you want to be an American citizen, you should speak English!
\nMy father and grandfather didn’t die in vain so you can leave the
\ncountries you were born in to come over and disrespect ours.
\nI think the police should have every right to shoot your sorry self
\nif you threaten them after they tell you to stop. If you can’t
\nunderstand the word “freeze” or “stop” in English, see the above lines.
\nI feel much safer letting a machine with no political
\naffiliation recount votes when needed. I know what the definition of
\nlying is.
\nI don’t think just because you were not born in this country,
\nyou are qualified for any special loan programs, government
\nsponsored bank loans or tax breaks, etc., so you can open a hotel,
\ncoffee shop, trinket store, or any other business.
\nWe did not go to the aid of certain foreign countries and risk our
\nlives in wars to defend their freedoms, so that decades later they could
\ncome over here and tell us our constitution is a living document and
\nopen to their interpretations.
\nI don’t hate the rich. I don’t pity the poor. I know pro wrestling
\nis fake, but so are movies and television. That doesn’t stop you from
\nwatching them.
\nI believe a self-righteous liberal or conservative with a cause is
\nmore dangerous than a Hell’s Angel with an attitude.
\nI think Bill Gates has every right to keep every penny he made and
\ncontinue to make more. If it ticks you off, go and invent the next
\noperating system that’s better, and put your name on the building. Ask
\nyour buddy that invented the Internet to help you.
\nIt doesn’t take a whole village to raise a child right, but it does
\ntake a parent to stand up to the kid; and smack their little behinds
\nwhen necessary, and say “NO!”
\n“I think tattoos and piercing are fine if you want them, but please
\ndon’t pretend they are a political statement. And, please, stay home
\nuntil that new lip ring heals. I don’t want to look at your ugly
\ninfected mouth as you serve me french fries!
\nI am sick of “Political Correctness.” I know a lot of black people,
\nand not a single one of them was born in Africa; so how can they be
\n“African-Americans”? Besides, Africa is a continent. I don’t go around
\nsaying I am a European-American because my great, great, great, great
\ngreat grandfather was from Europe. I am proud to be from America and
\nnowhere else.
\nAnd if you don’t like my point of view, tough. DON’T PASS IT ON
\nYOU TELL ‘EM, ANDY!!!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
