YES, I'M A BAD AMERICAN
by George Carlin


I Am Your Worst Nightmare. I am a BAD American. I am George Carlin.

I believe the money I make belongs to me and my family, not some mid
level governmental functionary be it Democratic or Republican!

I'm in touch with my feelings and I like it that way, damn it!

I think owning a gun doesn't make you a killer, it makes you a smart
American.

I think being a minority does not make you noble or victimized, and does
not entitle you to anything.

I believe that if you are selling me a Big Mac, try to do it in English.

I think fireworks should be legal on the 4th of July.

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 years plus, of college, you haven't
begun to be enlightened.

I believe everyone has a right to pray to his or her God when and where
they want to.

My heroes are John Wayne, Babe Ruth, Roy Rogers, and whoever canceled
Jerry Springer.

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'm freezing my ass off during these long winters and paying,
paying, paying?

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-the-Hell-up already.

I want to know which church is it exactly where the Reverend Jesse
Jackson practices, where he gets his money, and why he is always part of
the problem and not the solution. Can I get an AMEN on that one?

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're
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 in the world
for the next four years.

I dislike those people standing in the intersections trying to sell me
crap or trying to guilt me into making "donations" to their cause. These
people should be targets.

I believe that it doesn't take a village to raise a child, it takes two
parents.

And what the hell is going on with gas prices... again?

If this makes me a BAD American, then yes, I'm a BAD American.

If you are a BAD American too, please forward this to everyone you know.

We need our country back!

Are you sure that this is legit? Somehow I don't envision Carlin
saying some of this stuff.

There's another one going around allegedly by Robin Williams that's a
phony.

HoaxBurr !!

Claim: Humorist George Carlin wrote a piece about being a "Bad American."

Status: False.

Example: [Collected on the Internet, 2001]

This essay appeared in the FreeRepublic.com on-line forum back in September
2000 under the title "I Am a Bad Republican" (picking up title changes and
additions since then as it was forwarded around the Internet), and the person
who posted it there has taken credit for it in a recent message in that same
forum.

Bet it's a fake. Carlin seems to get a lot of credit for things he didn't
say. This sounds like one of them.
