Are You a Bad American?
By: JSkills	Published: 07/22/2002
Here's something I got recently and just had to share. It's by George Carlin: I Am Your Worst Nightmare. I am a BAD American. I am George Carlin. I like big cars, big hooters, and big paychecks. I believe the money I make belongs to me and my family, not some midlevel governmental functionary with a bad comb-over who wants to give it away to crack addicts squirting out babies. I believe that if you are selling me a Big Mac, you'd better do it in English. I'm not in touch with my feelings and I like it that way. I believe that it doesn't take a village to raise a child, it takes two parents. I think owning a gun doesn't make you a killer. I want to know which church is it exactly where the Reverend Jesse Jackson preaches. And where does he get his money? And why is he always part of the problem and not the solution? I believe if she has her lips on your willie, it is sex, and it is sex for both of you. This even applies when you are President of the United States. I think that being a student doesn't give you any more enlightenment than working at Blockbuster. In fact, if your parents are footing the bill to put your pansy ass through 4-7 years of college, you haven't begun to be enlightened. I believe everyone has a right to pray to his or her God or gods, just leave the rest of us out of it. This also applies to sexuality. I believe it's called the Boy Scouts for a reason. I don't think being a minority makes you noble or victimized. I don't use the excuse "it's for the children" as a shield for unpopular opinions or actions. I think fireworks should be legal on the 4th of July. My heroes are John Wayne, the Simpsons, and whoever canceled Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman. I don't hate the rich. I don't pity the poor. I know wrestling is fake and I don't waste my time arguing about it. I think global warming is a big lie. Where are all those experts now, when I am freezing my ass through a long winter? I've never owned a slave, or was a slave, I didn't wander forty years in the desert after getting chased out of Egypt, I haven't burned any witches or been persecuted by the Turks and neither have you, so shut up already. I think the cops have every right to shoot your sorry ass if you're running from them. I also think they have the right to pull your ass over if you are breaking the law, regardless of what color you are. I think if you are too stupid to know how a ballot works, I don't want you deciding who should be running the most powerful nation of the world for the next four years. I think if you are in the passing lane, and not passing, your license should be revoked, and you should be forced to ride the bus until you promise to never delay the rest of us again. I think beef jerky could quite possibly be the perfect food. I think tattoos and piercing are fine if you want them, but please don't pretend they are a political statement. I think Dr. Seuss was a genius. I'm neither angry nor disenfranchised, no matter how desperately the mainstream media would like the world to believe otherwise. If that makes me a BAD American, then yes, I'm a BAD American. If you too are a BAD American please forward this to everyone you know. We need our country back!

Title:	It sucks

I know I'll probably only be the only one who disagrees with this so here goes. Hey, I always like being the devils advocate anyway.

First of all I am a registered member of the Libertarian Party so I am probably more conservative than any republican (and lets face it, the posted statement has been used over and over again under different names of "pop" icons so the message can become that republicans are "cool" people too).

I love hearing rich white people talk about the problems of the commen man. George Carlin is not the comman man. Neither is Ted Nugent, Rush Limbaugh etc (all rich white people by the way).

So you think if your in America you should speak english. News flash, your grandparents probably didn't speak english when they came to this country (unless, of course, they were rich white people.

The statement also says alot about the race issues ie never owned a slave, being a minority doesnt make you victimized etc. Maybe so. But you might still be part of the problem. When was the last time you told a racist joke, or just laghed at one, or didn't say anything when your friend told one?

And then there is the tirade about Jesse Jackson. Now I in no way support Jackson. I do however find it interesting that the only person singled out for a personal attack was a black man. They didnt other religous leaders who influence politics such Jimmy Swaggart or Pat Robinson (probably because they are both rich white people).

And police do have a right to pull anyone over regardless of thier race. They DO NOT have a right to pull someone over BECAUSE of thier race. If you don't believe they do then you obviously dont have any black friends (at least none that arent trying to look like rich white people).

I am white. I am not rich but I am well off. I like being an American. I like that people from other countries, including the ones that dont create rich white people, come to America looking for a better life.

Take our country back from who? Immigrants? We are all descended from immigrants unless you are a native american. People with different view points? I like the fact that some of my friends think guns should be banned and some dont. I like the fact that we discuss it and still disagree. People from different cultures? I love meeting people from different countries and cultures. America is the best place to do that. All kinds of people come to this country. It is one of the things that makes it great.

I dont support Bill Clinton, George Bush, or even Harry Brown. I think for myself. And I dont need a president who can be a role model for my children. I can take care of that myself.

Now I obviously disagree with the post. And if that doesnt make me a BAD American...well good.

Nice! by fmccorm (08.13.2002 7:29:03 PM EST) Mrsme, you are a genius. Whoever wrote that "Bad American" shit is an idiot. Whoever posted that "Bad American" shit is also an idiot.
