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 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.

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 !!

From Truth or Fiction website:

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 is not from Andy Rooney.

I'd say it's likely Mickey Mouse.

Oh, that proves it's Mickey Mouse.
