(You gotta love Ted. I don't agree with everything he says but he has a point...)

I'm a Bad American and this pretty much sums it up for me.



I like big trucks, big boats, big houses, and naturally, pretty women.  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 ignoring your kids and giving
them Prozac might.   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
make me mad. This is my life to live, and not necessarily up to others
expectations.

I know what SEX is and there are not varying degrees of it.  I don't
celebrate Kwanzaa, but if you want to that¹s fine; I just don't feel
like everyone else should have to.   I believe that if you are selling
me a Dairy Queen shake, a pack of cigarettes, or hotel room, you do it
in English.  As a matter of fact, if you are an American citizen you
should speak English.  My uncles and forefathers shouldn't have had to
die in vain so you can leave the countries you were born in to come
disrespect ours, and make us bend to your will.  Get over it.

I think the cops have every right to shoot your sorry butt 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 don't
use the excuse "it's for the children" as a shield for unpopular
opinions or actions.   I know how to count votes and I feel much safer
letting a machine with no political affiliation do a recount when
needed.

I know what the definition of lying is, and it isn't based on the word
"is"-ever.   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 open a hotel, 7-Eleven, trinket shop, or any
thing else, while the indigenous peoples can't get past a high school
education because they can't afford it.  I didn't take the initiative in
inventing the Internet.

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.

Our soldiers did not go to some foreign country and risk their lives 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.  The
guys who wrote it were light years ahead of anyone today, and they meant
what they said - now leave the document alone, or there's going to be
trouble.   I don't hate the rich.  I help the poor.  I know wrestling is
fake. I¹ve never owned, or was, a slave, and a large percentage of our
forefathers weren't wealthy enough to own one either.  Please stop
blaming me because some prior white people were idiots - and remember,
tons of white, Indian, Chinese, and other races have been enslaved too
- it was wrong for every one of them.

I believe a self-righteous liberal Democrat with a cause is more
dangerous than a Hell's Angel with an attitude.   I want to know exactly
which church is it where the "Reverend" Jessie Jackson preaches; and,
what exactly is his job function.  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.   I think Bill Gates has
every right to keep every penny he made and continue to make more.  If
it makes you mad, then 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 makes me
mad. 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.  If
someone kills anyone, I'd say that it¹s 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 guts to stand up to the kid and spank his butt and say
"NO!" when it's necessary to do so.  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 some people's definition, I may be a bad American.  But,
that's tough.
