Amazing, even CBS didn't stop him

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



AMEN ANDY ROONEY!

Rooney-small.bmp

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 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,

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.



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 ass 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 Shut Up and BE QUIET !!!



If you agree, pass this on, if not delete

Uh, nope - Rooney didn't say 'em

Sorry, but after reading these largely correct judgments I knew that Andy "Looney" Rooney couldn't have said them. He's not ALWAYS wrong, but he is usually spouting lefty, class-envy drivel. So I looked it up on an Urban Legend website, linked here:
Urban Legends Reference Pages: Andy Rooney on Big Cars

Unfortunately, he has said a lot of nasty things about our country with regards to our freedoms, both economic and constitutional.

And I also KNEW CBS would never let these words be attributed to one of their employees. Fox News would, but not CBS.

You are correct my friend. I cut & pasted an email with out checking or thinking . I too found it hard to believe that that gas bag could have said anything that Courageous and in line with a lot of my beliefs. Especially all in a row.

I should have removed all references to him.

Thanks for keeping it real!

The Truth Sure Hurts Sometimes.

I'm positive that Andy Rooney didn't author many of the quotes he quoted, but standing alone I believe them all to be true. However, I'd be careful not to take some of the quotes beyond their general truths because some of these quotes don't fit perfectly into all situations or scenarious of American society. I'm proud to be an American but America can be very hypocritical with respect to it's representation of peace, equality and democracy to the world, but often fails to enforce the same representations amongst its own citizens at all economic levels and races.

Dang, you really are a bone collector - this topic's been in the grave since Pearl Harbor Day last year!
