Andy Rooney for Pres.?


I received this in an email this morning - imo it's dead on.

Quote:
ANDY FOR PRESIDENT:

Andy Rooney said on 60 minutes a few weeks back:
(for those of you that don't know Andy Rooney, he is a 82 year old US TV
commentator)

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 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 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 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 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. DON'T PASS IT ON!!

Urban Legend? Well, well, well - you are correct. I just double-checked that on the Snopes website.

Either way, it was sent to me and imo there is enough to it that I thought I'd post it - I suppose that's my right as an individual.

Ironic how you stamp on the bill of rights that this is clearly demonstrating. Way to go!

What about it makes the person who wrote it "sick"?? Because it says what you don't want to hear?

So that isn't true? There is a Gay Pride Parade, but not a Straight Pride Parade because it would be called discrimination. There is a Miss Black America, but not a White Miss America because it would be called discrimination... and so on.

Would you agree about the Law of Probability if the word "black" was replaced with "white" or "asian" or "hispanic" or "jewish" or "catholic" or... From working in a law office, I'd say it's true there are more minorities arrested in certain areas because more live there. There are more caucasians arrested in certain areas because there are more living there.

If you want your money going towards crack addicts having babies they can't support, then go ahead. I'd rather have mine go towards helping them get OFF crack before they have the babies.

You obviously don't understand. 90% of the population is straight. So that would be a really stupid parade.


Would you agree about the Law of Probability if the word "black" was replaced with "white" or "asian" or "hispanic" or "jewish" or "catholic" or... From working in a law office, I'd say it's true there are more minorities arrested in certain areas because more live there. There are more caucasians arrested in certain areas because there are more living there.

But can't you understand that there are inate biases involved in policing and in certain works of legislation? The Crack-Cocaine ratio is a clear example of racial bias in drug legislation.


If you want your money going towards crack addicts having babies they can't support, then go ahead. I'd rather have mine go towards helping them get OFF crack before they have the babies.

That part was very unclear. Are we talking about welfare? Most users of welfare are poor whites living in rural areas.
