Is Bootyist Monk Right??

Passed on to me: Bootyist Monk Report:

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, 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 a-- 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...

DON'T PASS IT ON

I enjoyed it when I heard it and again while reading it. I agree you both, but it seems, we are not politically correct..............

I think he's absolutely right!

He's pinpointed what is both good and bad about America.

1. We're all entitled to our opinions. Not everyone's going to think we're right. And that's OK. It's all about freedom of speech. Rock on, America.

BUT

2. Everyone should be treated the same. And we're not. And that's sad. I certainly don't want to be treated differently because I'm a woman. I think it's a little offensive.

I like Andy Rooney, even if he's grizzled and a little insane.

Well he is an old "POOP" most of the time, but this time I'm with him 100%

He tells it like it is, and damned if we don't need to start doing that in this country. We have become week and afraid to say anything period. Well except for LC she isn't afraid of anyone..:-5 :-5

Thats why I'm looking forward to HBO tonight GEORGE CARLIN has a new special on tonight look like a good one..!!

Thanks Car's ol Andy nailed it..

Right steph, I also don't want to be treated differently now, because I'm retired. But there are those who do/will treat retired people differently cause they most times are "older"! In other countires, their "Elders" are revered, not that much in the USA!

I most times like AR to, there have only been a few times I thought he went off the deep end!

I do believe you're right, Arnold. This monologue has been credited to a few people, but to me, it's on the money no matter who said it or wrote it! :yh_bigsmi

No apologies for getting the facts right are needed Arnold. I have been known to post rebuttals to things posted as "fact", too.
