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 lik e 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, s o 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 I s 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-Americ ans'? 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!

Not only is this an urban legend, but anybody who believes it obviously hasn't heard Andy Rooney.

Rooney's a flaming liberal and has said some truly nasty things about both gun owners and those of us who believe killing unborn children is wrong so it's pretty unlikely that he had some sort of epiphany about guns not killing people or pro-life being just another valid and respectable opinion.

He's also been pretty brutal in his rantings about the rich, so I can't really see him defending Bill Gates all of a sudden.

its a sad state we are in when one group of people can have organizations that just cater to them but other groups cannot because it would be called racist...

i dont even bother arguing racism because its lose-lose no matter how or who you argue it with


Yes it is always sad when one group can do something another cannot
:sigh:
