Surprised CBS let him get away with this even though I think he is right.

AMEN 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?UnitedCaucasianCollege 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 BUTT 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!!!?

You should research these before you post

Summary of the eRumor

A commentary attributed to CBS's Andy Rooney.

The Truth

This is a compilation of comments from at least a couple of sources including an eRumor that has been circulated as having been written by either Ted Nugent or George Carlin.

The actual origin, we have not found.

It is not from Andy Rooney.

Not from Andy? ok... but still great little nuggets.

What vfr said . . .

What I find interesting about the many propaganda chain emails like this one is that even though they are years old, they still have a life of their own and just keep circulating. Odds are it will be re-posted here within 30 days.

Personally, I think these emails are political works of art. They are not just thrown together and are designed to hit all the right buttons. Although it usually isn't hard to blow holes in them by at least exposing the half-truths, it is expected that the intended audience will not do that. These emails were never designed to convert anyone or be debated, they're designed to turn out the base on election day and they worked great.

I knew as soon as I read the first line - CBS would NEVER let this go to air. I must say however, I agree with every point.

Right on Soul...I like this preacher too!!

I dont give a rats rump who the author was either.

I agree with the points made... who cares who authored it...

Actually....we did.
