Right On....Pass It On

Good  for him!!!
Surprised  CBS let him get away with this even though he's  right  




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 s omeone  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!!!

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

Apr. 14, 2008 at 11:17 PM I thought it was cool up to the last point about God. Just because someone doesn't believe in God doesn't mean that they should "be quiet".  Our founding fathers didn't all follow the same religion yet still managed to get along and get things accomplished.
