This is what Andy Rooney said on "60 Minutes" a few weeks back:
"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 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 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.

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!!"

of course i agree with all that(except the language part, more like if youre going to come here, at least do it LEGALLY rather then just speeking english, my grandparents didnt speek english coming here), but I dont think Rooney said that, its kinda like that old Robin Williams "quote" that was floating around a while back. :thumbsup:

I saw this somewhere before, although Rooney gets to actually say some off the wall stuff-i.e. "normal" (as far as the Comunist Broadcast System lets anyone on thier staff), Rooney would never be on that no-english kick.

I too have heard this as Robin Williams and George Carlin on different occassions.

Either way, I agree with it... one modification though to the language comment.... anyone applying for citizenship should only have to recite the Pledge of Allegiance in English -- having to be fluent in English during immigration goes against the tradition as America being a melting pot for the nationalities of the world.

My two cents....


Oh, by the way... according to present day political correctness and my extensive lineage, I want to be referred to as a "northern-european, east-irish, west-whales, southeastern-american-relocated-to-the-upper-midwest".... also commonly referred to as an --

AMERICAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Theres just one thing I cant understand. Why do people think that to be American you have to be from the U.S.. Isnt this whole continent, south, central and north AMERICA.

"My father and grandfather didn't die in vain so you can leave the

think about that for a moment. they died protecting the constitutionaly protected freedoms we cling to. that includes the right to say you hate the country, to burn the flag, and to complain. personally, i like this country, but i live with the realization that those who do not have the right to say so. just my two cents.

Im part native of this continent, decendent of the Aztec tribe. Even do I was born here I dont consider myself Mex-American, just straight up American. Now I dont see why Language should be an issue, the more languages you speak the better.
