now your grasping at straws.

This was something sent to me the other day it is Andy Rooney's editorial at the end of 60 minutes.

I think it pretty much hits the nail right on the head






CBS DIDN'T STOP HIM...THIS IS GREAT!!


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






< /b>



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 someone with a base ball 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.

< /div>
"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; 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 'SIT DOWN AND BE QUIET!!!'.


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

CAN WE HAVE A LINK TO THE ORIGIANL SITE PLEASE

CAN WE HAVE A LINK TO THE ORIGIANL SITE PLEASE

no because Andy Rooney didn't say all of that....

I supose if he didn't something other than he didn't say all that like look at link (whatever) it is not correct would be appropriate there

or your opinion is he didn't say all that

has I said it was sent to me {via email} if there is a link I would have posted it

supose we could go to the 60 minutes web sight and validate

but I still agree with what I read there

I have to admit you have a point about arguing about petty issues....your right, madman is much too petty to bother with..

I am happy to deliver the news and drive traffic to alternative news sites.thank you all for participateing

copy paste then post is a good thing

but the following two condition need to
be meet to make it a good thing

must post the link for verification
and none plagiarizing the information


and

you need to give your editorial (spin)
on the information you paste

if you do not meet these two issues
you are just a news deliverer

and frankly we all know how to use the net
and we could get it on our own if we want it

MADMAN...........

What are you talking about? You don't deliver news. All you do is troll the websites for anti-American articles. Then you cut and paste them and encourage all your liberal friends to trash America. Then when someone challenges you, you lie, cut, run, and hide.

From Wikipedia

Just to cut and paste someone else's work without comment is pointless. Other then to display your lack of ability to form an original thought. To republish someone else's work off of a less then reputable site? Demonstrates that you are a follower, and a gullible one at that.

Valid news, data from reputable sources is one thing..if it backs up a claim.
Something written by someone on a blog or conspiracy site that has no beholding to facts? Is not scrutinized or verified by the publisher? Can not be found on multiple news resources? Is on a site that is seriously slanted one way or another? It is all pretty much hogwash.


I find this to be laughable! Sure.. The wikipedia is a good source for general information on a broad topic, sometimes leading to hard data. But to quote it as fact?
You really need to go and look at how that encyclopedia is created.
