I'm surprised CBS let him get away with this even though I think he is right.

AMEN ANDY ROONEY !


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 ***** 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 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 your sorry a-- 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

As a liberal I think that free speech is wonderful. It is what makes us great. Good for AR.

I also believe in a free press and the right to sue if someone slanders you unjustly, and property rights, and privacy rights and a transparent government, of, by and for the people.
All things that this republican administration and congress is attempting to limit or abolish.

So have your childish little fun. You won't be laughing when they decide to build a Walmart on your parents house against their wishes. But the bright side, while your parents are looking for another place to live, you might be able to get a job there stocking shelves. Minimum wage is still only $5.15 an hour so have fun living on that.

Since you felt the need to send me a nasty e-mail from my response above, I have a few more thoughts. Without publishing any of your statement I will recap my answer here for everyone to see. You folks at home can easily figure out the sour grapes tone of his message to me.
------------
My response:

Gotcha Dickweed! If you can't handle the response then don't ask the question.

When you start your questions with "Hey (fill in the blank)... you deserve what you get. You've really got to work on a better delivery.

Big XXXXs like you gives honorable conservatives a bad name.

Oh, and I really hope you will consider giving me the best answer. It would mean SO much coming from you.

Well, the arguement for abortion is that the fetus isn't a human because meaningful life hasn't yet begun... Don't ask me to explain the logic, because I don't understand it myself. It's all just splitting hairs to avoid responsibility to me. There's just too many questions with that like how do you define meaningful life and when does it begin? Never got an answer to that you know. So I just as much assume they really don't know, they just don't want it to be wrong, so therefor in their minds it isn't. Too bad life doesn't really work that way. Which in light of your question, are they saying killing people is a meaningful life? Okay. I admit. That's a dubious argument at best. For me, the death penalty is about paying back what you took. You can never give a life back, but you can give your own.

Though many of these statements make a great point, this is sadly NOT the work of Andy Rooney. In fact, I believe he actually denied this specific chain letter.

This phony crap is the same sorry kinda chain letter that stained George Carlin's online image. Andy Rooney didn't say all that. It's too long for his spot.

What I think is that if you spent as much time as you obviously did putting this question together on something a little bit more intelligent than your "liberal" bashing you might actually make a point worth responding to!!!

About time someone just came out and told it like it is!!! I am sure every "politically Correct" person in the world will try and pick it apart. But be honest, which part isn't true..

I believe Mr. Rooney denied that he said this, but I agree with the sentiment. I've been pc'd to death!

(I know this will offend some libs, but I think EVERYONE should be treated equally...............sorry!)

Don't worry, ole Andy has gotten old enough and wise enough that he will be "let go" soon from CBS.

Yeah, well you know what? I think the same thing.. I'm glad that someone said something that a million people heard.. cause I agree. Kudos... kudos for someone who stands up to everyone and not just people on welfare, and people who are rich..

I wish more people thought that way!

I got this as an email one time, I thought it was pretty cool. I really don't care who said it, I like it, and agree with every word.
