Andy Rooney usually takes a liberal slant, but here
he is saying some things the liberals will claim are
not "politically correct"... and Andy will probably
say, "Tough s***!"

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, 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
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.
