Right on, Andy Rooney! Andy Rooney said on 60 minutes



>a few weeks back: (for those of you that don't know
>Andy Rooney, he is an 82 year old US TV commentator)
>
>
>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 whythere are no girls allowed. Girls
>belong in the Girl Scouts! >
>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 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
>over 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 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. Ask
>your buddy that invented the Internet to help you.
>(Al)
>
>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.
>DON'T PASS IT ON!!

Well said.

[ShorePounder]

A-freakin-men!!

[INXS]

Anyone see him say that, the guy's a liberal. This goes against everything else that comes out if his arrogant mouth!

[northeastcat]

I had actualy heard it before and it was quoted as another person saying it, but even if it wasnt Rooney it sure says alot about this f'd up country of ours.

[Scream And Fly]

That's not the original piece - looks like it was edited. The person that wrote that was none other than Ted Nugent.

[neveredge]

Ted for VP!!!

[INXS]

Ted is a true American Hero!

[pyro]

I agree with everything he says!

The automotive prototype shop that my dad worked for for 19 years built a couple of Ted's customized Ford Bronco's back in the day. I've got a picture somewhere of me when I was a young kid, sitting in a huge, zebra-stripe painted Bronco inside the auto shop. Damn big trucks!!

INXS, what a shallow point of view. You were ready to not give any credit to those words, just because of your 'political' bias toward the guy. You were really worried there for a second that a non-conservative type may have said something intelligent.

I've heard a few of Andy's ranting commentaries on TV, some of it was pretty entertaining. if you could see past the end of your 'trunk', you might begin to realize that he's been around a lot longer than you, and he's acually a very smart individual, and deserves a little more respect than you dish out. When you're 82, you might be lucky if you're still wiping your own backside, much less walking, and MUCH LESS speaking out and sharing your views on National TV. I can only hope that I'll still have the same health, spirit and livelyhood that Andy has when reach his age.

"Ted's a true American Hero", and Andy Rooney is an "arrogant liberal." Thanks for the tip! Now I know how it really is. Where would I be without your 2 cents?

It's hard to say anything intelligent these days without somebody following you around, calling you a "conservative" or a "liberal." Can anyone share knowledge or a point of view without earning some damned political label for it??? What a shame.

"And if you don't like my point of view, tough." I like that one.

Yep it was Ted , crazy bastard. And he is still just as outspoken and crazy to this day , as he always has been .

[SGT LAKER]

all i have to say is if you think that we as Americans have it so tuff
go rase your right hand and see what the rest of the world has to deal with
we have the abilty to express your own opinions and i for one would not have it any other way

Our country deserves fair and balanced news reporters! People like Rooney, Rather, Jennings, ect. mislead us for years. Now that we have talk radio, the inter-net, and Fox News they are getting more and more bitter towards conservatives. I find it very enjoyable watching them self-destruct! Ted is proud to be a American, we could use more people like him, unlike these liberals! The country is changing for the better and they can’t except it!!!!!

[clydecleinmark]

Inxs, Your choices of role models never ceases to amaze me. First it was Gordon Liddy. Now it's Ted Nugent. Breathlessly, I wait for the next one.

[stokernick]

now,CAN WE HAVE A " Amen" ??
