Andy Rooney said on ' 60 Minutes ' a few weeks back:
(for those of you that don' t know Andy Rooney, he is a 82 year old US TV
commentator)
I like big cars, big boats, big motorcycles, big houses and big campfires.
I believe the money I make belongs to me and my family, not some governmental stooge with a bad comb-over who wants to give it away to crack addicts for squirting out babies.
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 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 ***** 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.
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 know what sex is, and there are not varying degrees of it. If I received sex
from one of my subordinates in my office, it wouldn' t be a private matter or my
personal business. I would be " FIRED" immediately!
I believe that if you are selling me a milk shake, 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 self 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 feel much safer letting a machine with no political affiliation recount votes
when needed. I know what the definition of lying is.
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 believe a self-righteous liberal or conservative with a cause is more dangerous
than a Hell' s Angel with an attitude.
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. Ask your buddy that invented the
Internet to help you.
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. DON' T PASS IT ON!!

It' d be nice to find out that Rooney said it, but, like others have said, it' s been around quite awhile (just a slightly different version). It has also been credited to Ted Nugent, but I don' t think that' s right either. Would be nice to know who actually did write it!

Andy is a likeable fellow with opinions on various subjects. BUT he really hit me wrong last year when he tore into hunting....especially bowhunting, on his syndicated column!!!!
I thought I saw a recent column by rooney where he denied making the statement or quote and said it was not how he felt. Have to do some searching for that.
