The Bad American Speaks
As heard on The Big Show 11/7/01

I like big cars, big boats, big houses, and naturally - big boobs.

I believe the money I make belongs to me and my family, not some mid-level governmental functionary with a bad comb-over who wants to give it away to crack addicts squirting out babies. I don't care about appearing compassionate.

I think playing with toy guns doesn't make you a killer.

I believe it's called the Boy Scouts for a reason.

I think I'm doing better than the homeless.

I don't think being a minority makes you noble or victimized.

I have the right not to be tolerant of others because they are different, weird or piss me off.

I know what SEX is and there are not varying degrees of it. Just ask my wife.

I don't celebrate Kwanzaa. But if you want to that's fine; just don't feel like everyone else should have to.

I believe that if you are selling me a Dairy queen shake, pack of cigarettes, or hotel room you do it in English.

As of matter of fact, if you are an American citizen you should speak English. My father and grandfather shouldn't have to die in vain so you can leave the countries you were born in to come disrespect ours.

I think the cops have every right to shoot your sorry ass if you're running from them after they tell you to stop. If you can't understand the word freeze or stop in English, See the previous line.

I know how to count votes and I feel much safer letting a machine with no political affiliation recount when needed.

I know what the definition of lying is.

I don't think just because you were not born in this country, you qualify for any special loan programs, gov't sponsored bank loans, etc., so you can you can open a hotel, c-store, trinket shop, or any thing else.

I thought the Taco Bell dog was funny.

I want them to bring back safe and sane fireworks.

I believe no one ever died because of something Ozzy Osbourne, Ice-T or Marilyn Manson sang, but that doesn't mean I want to listen to that crap from someone else's car when I'm stopped at a red light.But I respect your right to.

I think that being a student doesn't give you any more enlightenment than working at Blockbuster or Jack In The Box.

I don't want to eat or drink anything with the words light, Lite, or fat-free on the package.

I did not go to some foreign country and risk my life in vain and defend our constitution so that decades later you can tell me it's a living document ever changing and is open to interpretation.

I don't hate the rich.

I don't pity the poor.

I know wrestling is fake.

I've never owned or was a slave, and a large percentage or our forefathers weren't wealthy enough to own one either.

I think you can respect and admire women while mentally undressing them.

I believe a self-righteous liberal with a cause is more dangerous than a Hell's Angel with an attitude.

I want to know which church is it exactly where the "Rev." Jesse Jackson preaches; and besides what exactly is his job function.

I don't care where Ellen puts her tongue.

I own a gun, you can own a gun, and any red blooded American should be allowed to own a gun, but if you use it in a crime then you will serve the time. A rubber band and a paper clip is a dangerous weapon in the hands of someone with malicious intent.

I worry about dying before I get even.

I didn't take the initiative in inventing the Internet.

I think Bill Gates has every right to keep every penny he made and continue to make more. If it pisses you off, 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.

I don't believe in hate crime legislation. Even suggesting it pisses me off. You're telling me that someone who is a minority, gay, disabled, another nationality, or otherwise different from the mainstream of this country has more value as a human being that I do as a white male. Hell, if someone kills anyone, I'd say that it's a hate crime.

We don't need more laws! Let's enforce the ones we already have.

I think turkey bacon, turkey beef, turkey fake anything sucks.

I believe that it doesn't take a village to raise a child, it takes a parent with the balls to stand up to the kid and spank his butt and say "NO".

I think tattoos and piercing are fine if you want them, but please don't pretend they are a political statement.

I'll admit that the only movie that ever made me cry was Ole Yeller.

I didn't realize Dr. Seuss was a genius until I had a kid.

I will not be frowned upon or be looked down upon or be made to keep silent because I have these beliefs and opinions.

I thought this country allowed me that right I will not conform or compromise just to keep from hurting somebody's feelings.

I'm neither angry nor disenfranchised, no matter how desperately the mainstream media would like the world to believe otherwise.

Yes, I guess by their definition, I'm a bad American.

Wow that one went way over my head, must be a cultural thing

[Jammrock]

Ant,

Probably VERY American. US citizens are getting really pissed at political correctness and other BS that people say we 'need'.

My definition of Political Correctness at this time is 'suppress the rights of the majority in favor of the minority because someone, somewhere may be offended'.

Joel

[Gurm]

Joel, you've pretty much got it.

I started being offended by Political Correctness when I was just a teenager.

In high school, my favorite teacher (who was fond of making political statements) started a club that only men could join. We supposedly had secret meetings and did secret things. Every guy in school was "a member", but none would "admit" to it.

The girls started protesting... the administrators suspended him... it got worse from there.

Then I didn't get into the colleges of my choice. I was put at the top of the waiting list, right behind the 30% minority quotas. But of course what underqualified minority student WON'T go to MIT for free if given the chance?

At the college I did go to, my wife was kicked out of the RA program because she chose to get engaged to me... and was spending too much time with me in her apartment. Then when we got married, we had to move off campus - because although gay couples are given "couples" housing, married couples are against housing policy.

There was a "black senior yearbook". Staffed by blacks, written by blacks, sold only to blacks, featuring pictures solely of blacks. Am I prejudiced? No, but THEY sure are! When one of the professors suggested that in the interest of fairness we should start a "white senior yearbook", his car was demolished, he received death threats, and was forced to take a semester-long sabbatical.

I had to pay for school, although I was assisted by a merit scholarship. Blacks, gays, and albino eskimos did not.

Then I entered the REAL world. In the real world, I was passed over for promotions because I was a married white man who wanted to spend time with his family instead of working unpaid overtime. I watched as minorities were promoted.

I'm TIRED of being discriminated against. I'm REALLY TIRED of political correctness. Am I mad at the minorities? No, not really. It's human nature to take any freebie you're offered.

But I am REALLY REALLY REALLY mad at the proponents Political Correctness.

Did my ancestors have slaves? Yes, they sure did. (Ask Mr. Jefferson's "family"!)

Do I believe that I, or anyone else, OWE the descendants of those slaves, who have been free for 100 years and free from major discrimination for the past 25 at least, anything? No.

And before y'all start in with the "my people were enslaved", let's think about MY relatives. 6 million of us were slaughtered as the world stood dumbly by and watched. Do I feel as though I "deserve" special treatment? No. Are my people STILL vilified and discriminated against? Yes. Do I bitch about this continually? No.

So whenever I hear a black man jumping up and down and yelling about oppression, I tell him to "SIT THE **** DOWN".

And I'm sick to death of the rest of the world supporting these people.

If I spank my child, I could lose my child. But if I DON'T spank my child, he will grow up to be a bad person. I honestly believe this - as do many Americans. So what do I do? I shouldn't have to be afraid of the department of social services, but I am.

I'm not armed. Not because I feel safe, but because I know that if I WERE armed and used that weapon, the person I used it on would sue me and ruin my life just as surely as if he/she had actually hurt/killed me in the first place.

Do I feel as though my rights are being abridged? Hell yes. Am I happy about it? NO.

I say we take all the proponents of "political correctness" and drop them in the ****ing ocean.

[omegaRED]

Some good points ... and other not so good ones.

Oh Gurm BTW, 20 million Russians died during WWII ... i dont see them bitching about it too ... oh and among other things, the German govt is planning to pay (or did it start already) compensation to Jews who were in Concentration Camps ... dunno if its a good thing or not

[omegaRED]

And the world hardly stood by and watched as the Jews were gassed and killed ... it was a war you know? Many (most) were fighting.

Joel, you are right.

Do you need a gun? I dont, but if you do, its ok. I dont think EVERYONE should be allowed to own a gun. A paper clip MAY be a weapon, but a gun is much more dangerous weapon. Why risk it?

[The PIT]

Political correctness, ignore the truth and you'll be safe.

The Union I belong too believes in racial equality so why do we have a seperate black conferance???

Can't we discuss all the issues at one time.

We're a Democratic party but we're going to have a Women only list for MP's.

I find that remark offensive, and I'm going to cry and wail and organize a political action comittee and have you fired.

[Gurm]

I find your remarks anti-semitic. But since Jews are pretty much the only minority that most governments find it "ok" to hate, I can't do shit.
