I still find it hard to believe that the "hippy-dippy weatherman" said
this.........

George Carlin's "I'm a BAD American"

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 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 gods. 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. 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'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 a BAD American, then yes, I'm a BAD American.
