[StBernard] Amazing, even CBS didn't stop him!

Interesting and well made points in the Andy Rooney article below.....but
unfortunately, Rooney never made such a statement.  Check it out at
snopes.com.  There's a lot of info there showing Andy Rooney's press release
statement where he talks about this email being false and would like to sue
the person who started it - if he could find out who it is.
 
But, at a much later date - maybe a year after Rooney initially disclaimed
the email, I recall seeing a news clip where a reporter acknowledged to
Rooney that he knew the email was false, but did he (Rooney) agree with any
of it.  Rooney commented on how he did not appreciate some of the racist and
sexist tone of the email, but he found it hard to refute some of what was
said by the imposter author.  My take on Rooney's response to the reporter
was..."gee, I wish I really had said some of that."

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 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 LIBERTYAND 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...
