A Russian arrives in New York City as a new immigrant to the United States.

He stops the first person he sees walking down the street and says,

'Thank you Mr. American for letting me in this country, giving me housing,

food stamps, free medical care, and free education!’

The passerby says, ‘You are mistaken, I am Mexican.’

The man goes on and encounters another passerby.

‘Thank you for having such a beautiful country here in America !’

The person says, ‘I not American, I Vietnamese.’

The new arrival walks further, and the next person he sees he stops,

shakes his hand and says, ‘Thank you for the wonderful America !’

That person puts up his hand and says,

‘I am from Middle east , I am not American!’

He finally sees a nice lady and asks,

‘Are you an American?’

She says , ‘No, I am from Africa !’

Puzzled, he asks her, ‘Where are all the Americans?’

The African lady checks her watch and says… ‘Probably at work!’

Andy Rooney said on ‘60 Minutes’ :

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, which 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 you 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

And if you don’t like my point of view, tough…

I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG, OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA , AND  
TO  
THE REPUBLIC, FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE,  
WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!

I was asked to send this on if I agree or delete if I don’t. It is  
said  
that 86% of Americans believe in God… Therefore I have a very hard time  
understanding why there is such a problem in having ‘In God We Trust’ on  
our money and having ‘God’ in the Pledge of Allegiance. Why don’t we  
just tell the 14% to BE QUIET!!!

I’ve always agreed with those emails… its too bad nobody in politics has the balls to do anything about it and they keep bending over backwards. taking down the georgia state flag because it represents the confederacy? seriously… it’s not racism its fucking history. If you don’t like it move to another state.

Ah. We have many times. I’d shake his hand like I do everytime I see him. It’s an Internet forum with political talk.

Jammer is one of the nicest people I have met. We differ on politics but that’s part of life.
