  • Andy Rooney said on '60 Minutes' a few weeks back
    AND IS WHAT JOHN WAYNE WOULD SAY TODAY !
    ====================================




    '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 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 piercings 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!




    Tell the 14% to BE QUIET!!!



    =======================



  • I wonder how the audience reacted to that? Interesting commentary there, Bill.

    Cheers :cool:

  • Hi Bill and thanks for posting this. I cought only the tail end of this when it was aired. When I have time im going to copy it word for word and post it at the www.ww2f.com site.

    I agree with every word.

    Es Ist Verboten Mit Gefangenen In Einzelhaft Zu Sprechen..

  • Wayne fans, you must have credibility. Andy Rooney never said this. It's an urban legend that has been widely rebuked numerous times. Let's only print stuff that really is truthful. Rooney would have been fired for saying this on 60 Minutes, even if he does make some good points.


    We do not help ourselves when we print these myths and legends. Someone sent me the same speech by Robin Williams. Give me a break.

  • Darn pouchboy, just when I was feeling pretty good , you have to bring us back to reality. Your post is right on, sorry I hadn't seen the original sooner, as, I've seen it too, and the response at snopes
    Unfortunately, there are many things out there on the internet that seem too good to be true, and usually are.
