Patriotic Biker

Has anybody else got this RW chain-mail making the rounds now? It shows a pic of a big burly guy sitting back on his beautiful tricked out Harley wearing a leather cowboy hat on a beach road. I may "reply-all" saying something about not wearing a helmet. Or how Bill Gates is best friends with Democrat Warren Buffet and they both want increased taxes on the rich.



I THINK THIS GUY HAS IT ALL
COVERED. I COULDN'T THINK OF
ANYTHING HE LEFT OUT.

PATRIOTIC BIKER....

I Am the Democrat Liberal-Progressive's Worst Nightmare.
I am a White, Conservative, Tax-Paying, American Veteran, Gun Owning
Biker. That’s me!
I am a Master Mason. I work hard and long hours with my hands to earn
a living.

I believe in God and the freedom of religion, but I don't push it on others.
I ride Harley Davidson Motorcycles, and drive American-made cars, and
I believe in American products and buy them whenever I can.

I believe the money I make belongs to me and not some liberal
governmental functionary that wants to share it with others who don't
work!

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

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. Get over it!

I believe that if you are selling me a Big Mac or any other item, you
should do it in English.

I believe there should be no other language option.

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

My heroes are Malcolm Forbes, Bill Gates, John Wayne, Babe Ruth,
Roy Rogers, and Willie G. Davidson, who makes the awesome Harley
Davidson Motorcycles.

I don't hate the rich. I don't pity the poor.
I know wrestling is fake and I don't waste my time watching or arguing
about it.

I've never owned a slave, nor was I a slave. I haven't burned any
witches or been persecuted by the Turks, and neither have you!

I believe if you don't like the way things are here, go back to where
you came from and change your own country!

This is AMERICA ...We like it the way it is and more so the way
it was ...so stop trying to change it to look like Russia or China , or some other socialist country!
If you were born here and don't like it... you are free to move to any
Socialist country that will have you. I believe it is time to really clean house,
starting with the White House, the seat of our biggest problems.

I want to know which church is it, exactly, where the Reverend
Jesse Jackson preaches, 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 also think the cops have the right to pull you over if you're
breaking the law, regardless of what color you are, but not
just because you happen to ride a bike.

And, no, I don't mind having my face shown on my driver's license.
I think it's good....
And I'm proud that 'God' is written on my money..

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 stuff or trying to guilt me into making 'donations' to their cause....
Get a job and do your part to support yourself and your family!

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

I believe 'illegal' is illegal no matter what the lawyers think!

I believe the American flag should be the only one allowed in AMERICA !

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 want our country back!

My Country..... I hope this offends all illegal aliens.

My great, great, great, great grandfather watched and bled as his
friends died in the Revolution & the War of 1812.
My great, great, great grandfather watched as his friends died in
the Mexican American War.
My great, great grandfather watched as his friends & brothers
died in the Civil War.
My great grandfather watched as his friends died in the
Spanish-American War.
My grandfather watched as his friends died in WW I.
My father watched as his friends died in WW II.

I watched as my friends died in Vietnam , Panama & Desert Storm.
My son watched & bled as his friends died in Afghanistan and Iraq .
None of them died for the Mexican Flag.
Everyone died for the American flag.

Texas high school students raised a Mexican flag on a school flag pole,
other students took it down. Guess who was expelled...the students
who took it down.

California high school students were sent home on Cinco de Mayo,
because they wore T-shirts with the American flag printed on them.

Enough is enough

This message needs to be viewed by
every American; and every
American needs to stand up for
America .

We've bent over to appease the America-haters long enough.
I'm taking a stand.

I'm standing up because the hundreds of thousands who died fighting
in wars for this country, and for the American flag.

If you agree, stand up with me. If you disagree, please let me know.
I will gladly remove you from my e-mail list.

And shame on anyone who tries to make this a racist message.

AMERICANS, stop giving away Your RIGHTS !

Let me make this clear! THIS IS MY COUNTRY !

This statement DOES NOT mean I'm against immigration !

YOU ARE WELCOME HERE, IN MY COUNTRY, welcome to
come legally:
1. Get a sponsor

2. Learn the LANGUAGE, as immigrants have in the past !


3. Live by OUR rules !

4. Get a job !

5. Pay YOUR Taxes !

6. No Social Security until you have earned it and Paid for it !

7. NOW find a place to lay your head !

If you don't want to forward this for fear of offending someone,
then YOU'RE PART OF THE PROBLEM !

We've gone so far the other way . . . bent over backwards not to
offend anyone.

Only AMERICANS seems to care when American Citizens are being
offended !

WAKE UP America ! ! !

If you do not Pass this on, may your fingers cramp !

Made in the U S A & PROUD OF IT!!!!!

patriotic "so and so" title. I believe one year it was the patriotic police officer, the other was a patriotic soldier then the patriotic cowboy, then the patriotic construction worker. I'm just waiting for the patriotic native (but I won't hold my breath for that one).

And I will continue to vote for politicians who get me all bent out of shape about immigrants, liberals, pointy headed intellectuals, homosexuals, and women, and then let their rich banker buddies send my job to some third world country and take my home and my retirement and eventually even this killer motorcycle away from me.

Because I am a proud dumbass American.

And no matter how shitty my life gets, I'm still better than anybody who is black, brown, educated, or doesn't have a penis.

If the sender persists in sending stuff like that, I send their mail automatically to the spam folder. If it's on Facebook, I hide the person. I have too little time to even give this kind of garbage the time it takes to read it.

Edit to add: I'm sorry I opened the thread.

I've never found it useful and don't believe that it's possible to change people's minds who send stuff like that out. But, that's me. You can do whatever you like with junk mail like that.

I liked this one:

Another one of those "you can pull everybody over but ME."

What an idiot.

Doesn't push his religion but wants his God on money and questions the faith of blah people.

Is cool with profiling as long as it's not profiling of bikers.

Loves America the way it is but wants to change everything about it.

Loves America even more the way it was, only without all the immigration and taxes and stuff that were characteristic of America for so long.

Tells Americans to go back where they came from if they don't like it here, except that according to his complaint list he doesn't like it here and obviously hasn't left.

Wants others to speak the native language of a small island in Europe, but I am betting he has not troubled himself to learn Navajo.

To give him credit, I think he's telling the truth about owning a Harley. Harleys suck at everything but attitude. My rice rocket would have him for lunch.
