Ya'll have probably seen this one, but I really like it! ;) <br /><br />A BAD AMERICAN <br />by George Carlin <br /><br />I Am Your Worst Nightmare. <br />I am a BAD American. <br />I am George Carlin. <br /><br /> <br /><br />I believe the money I make belongs to me and my family, not some <br />mid-level governmental functionary be it Democratic or Republican! <br /><br />I'm in touch with my feelings and I like it that way, darn it! <br /> <br />I think owning a gun doesn't make you a killer, it makes you a smart <br />American. <br /><br />I think being a minority does not make you noble or victimized, and does <br />not entitle you to anything. <br /><br />I believe that if you are selling me a Big Mac, try to do it in English. <br /> <br />I think fireworks should be legal on the 4th of July. <br /> <br />I think that being a student doesn't give you any more enlightenment <br />than working at Blockbuster. In fact, if your parents are footing the bill to <br />put your pansy a$$ through 4 years plus, of college, you haven't begun to be <br />enlightened. <br /><br />I believe everyone has a right to pray to his or her God when and where <br />they want to. <br /> <br />My heroes are John Wayne, Babe Ruth, Roy Rogers, and whoever canceled <br />Jerry Springer. <br /><br />I don't hate the rich. I don't pity the poor. <br /> <br />I know wrestling is fake and I don't waste my time arguing about it. <br /> <br />I think global warming is a big lie. Where are all those experts now, <br />when I'm freezing my a$$ off during these long winters and paying, paying, <br />paying? <br /> <br />I've never owned a slave, or was a slave. I didn't wander forty years in <br />the desert after getting chased out of Egypt. I haven't burned any witches <br />or been persecuted by the Turks and neither have you! So, shut-the-He11-up <br />already. <br /><br />I want to know which church is it exactly where the Reverend Jesse <br />Jackson practices, where he gets his money, and why he is always part of the <br />problem and not the solution. Can I get an AMEN on that one? <br /><br />I think the cops have every right to shoot your sorry a$$ if you're <br />running from them. I also think they have the right to pull your a$$ over if <br />you're breaking the law, regardless of what color you are. <br /><br />I think if you are too stupid to know how a ballot works, I don't want <br />you deciding who should be running the most powerful nation in the world for <br />the next four years. <br /> <br />I dislike those people standing in the intersections trying to sell me <br />crap or trying to guilt me into making "donations" to their cause. These <br />people should be targets. <br /><br />I believe that it doesn't take a village to raise a child, it takes two <br />parents. <br /><br />I believe if she has her lips on your Willie, it's sex, and this applies <br />even if you are President of the United States. <br /><br />And what the he11 is going on with gas prices... again? <br /> <br />If this makes me a BAD American, then yes, I'm a BAD American. <br /> <br /><br />We need our country back!

Re: A Bad American......I am!

Someone had actually sent me an E mail of this about, or over a year ago. Another one that surprised me was a letter written by an older Rock star, Ted Nugent, I really was amazed at how much I agreed with his comments also. If I run across it again, I'll post it, he too, said a Mouthfull of truth.

Re: A Bad American......I am!

came across this at Nugent's sight<br /><br />You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot help the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by encouraging class hatred. You cannot help the poor by discouraging the rich. You cannot establish sound security on borrowed money. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn. You cannot build character and courage by taking away man's initiative and independence. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves. -Abraham Lincoln

Ted Nugent is a very good (bad)American.<br />I've got two of his books.<br /><br />God, Guns and Rock and Roll. <br />Kill It, And Grill It. <br /><br />I have a co-worker that sent his son to Ted's summer camp. He highly recommends it.

Re: A Bad American......I am!

Topmason, I couldn't find the article I was talking about that Ted wrote, but I did find this one that should give you an idea. Also I will try to give you a link to his site. Here goes the article first. <br /><br /> HELPLESSNESS IS FOR WIMPS & DEADGUYZ <br />by Ted Nugent<br /><br />With all the yapping and hand wringing about Homeland Defense, I’m somewhat perplexed there hasn’t been more discussion about how average Americans can secure their country from terrorists, thugs and otherassorted human debris and scum. You heard it here first: homeland defense begins at home. It is each American’s responsibility to protect themselves and their families from those who want to perpetrate harm upon us. I could care less what the creep’s religious, political or ideological intentions are, or whether he simply wants to steal your Buick at gunpoint. A killer is a killer and they must be stopped. I pray the feds have the resources, intelligence, and commitment to exterminate terrorists around the world. I also pray the local cops have the same resources to lock up local punks who have instigated their own criminal jihad against law-abiding citizens. Pray as I might, I also adamantly believe each of us should be prepared to neutralize evil in its tracks whenever and wherever it may arize. Waiting for the feds or the cops to show up might be a death sentence - our death sentence. Crime reports, studies and honest cops will tell you that it is up to you to defend yourself and your loved ones against evil people. Fortunately, the majority of states allow their citizens to carry concealed weapons to do just that. Afterall, to be unarmed is to be helpless, and that's just irresponsible. Though the media won’t tell you this, law-abiding citizens use guns to thwart crime roughly two million times a year.<br /><br />The media’s silence on these facts is condemnable. Instead of reporting the facts, the media *****s engage in journalistic prostitution as it pertains to guns. They will 'report' or spin the story to meet their left-wing ideology that guns are evil, unnecessary instruments designed solely to kill other people. I’m sure two million people a year would beg to differ with the media’s overt dishonesty and unprofessional anti-gun agenda. The average American is much more likely to be the victim of a recidivistic punk who has a rap sheet a yard long than of a Muslim extremist. Therefore, it only stands to reason that we must be more vigilant to protect our homes and lives against the streetrats than the religious numbskulls who kill in the name of their evil gods. I’m not arguing that everyone run out and get a permit to carry a concealed weapon. First off, everyone is not going to do everything that makes sense all the time. Secondly, only those people who feel comfortable carrying a concealed weapon and who routinely practice with it should carry do so. There are literally millions of Americans who carry concealed weapons on a daily basis. The media has unabashedly tried to convince Americans that this practice is extremely dangerous, that ordinary Americans will shoot at each other in traffic, and that accidental shootings will far outway any benefit. Again, the media *****s couldn’t be more wrong. The number of concealed carry permits that have been rescinded is literally minuscule, virtually a non-issue. There haven’t been shootouts between concealed carry holders as the media tried in vain to scare Americans into believing. Concealed carry permit holders haven’t shot the wrong guy. Concealed carry permit holders haven’t committed crimes. Instead, these conscientious Americans have made America a safer place to live, work and play. Isn’t that the goal of Homeland Defense? Americans need to be vigilant. We need to get to know our neighbors better. We need to become more involved in great programs such as Neighborhood Watch. We need to establish better relationships with our police departments. I support any effort that will truly assist in stopping the next terrorist or thug who wishes to bring harm to innocent, law-abiding Americans. I will never, however, support any effort that will make it easier for criminals to prey on innocent Americans because Sarah Brady doesn't believe in us to take care of ourselves. Homeland defense begins at home. There are millions of Americans each year that can attest to that. The heroic actions of these brave Americans need to be recognized, even celebrated, not hidden from the public view by the media, or worse, scorned. We have the legal right and a moral duty to protect our loved ones and ourselves. I don’t depend on anyone else for my family’s protection. That would be foolish, dangerous and cowardly. When I call 911 it will only be tell them to bring a dustpan and a broom. I shoot back, and depending on the circumstances, I’ll shoot first. You’re weird if you’ve got a problem with that. Good should live, evil should die. Make a stand America. Neutralize evil or get out of their way.<br /><br />ANYWAY POEM<br /><br />People quite often are unreasonable, illogical and self-centered. Love them anyway!<br /><br />If you do good, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Do good anyway!<br /><br />If you are successful, you will win some false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway!<br /><br />The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway!<br /><br />Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable. Be honest and frank anyway!<br /><br />The biggest people with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest people with the smallest minds. Think big anyway!<br /><br />People favor underdogs, but follow only top dogs. Fight for some underdogs anyway!<br /><br />What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. Build anyway!<br /><br />People really need help, but may attack you if you help them. Help them anyway!<br /><br />Give the world the best you have and you might get kicked in the teeth. Give the world the best you've got anyway!<br /><br />GOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS YOU!<br /><br />You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot help the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by encouraging class hatred. You cannot help the poor by discouraging the rich. You cannot establish sound security on borrowed money. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn. You cannot build character and courage by taking away man's initiative and independence. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves. -Abraham Lincoln<br /><br />OK, type in TedNugent.com you'll be amazed! <br /><br /> <br />rst.
