I am a BAD American

I am Your Worst Nightmare. I am a BAD American. I like big cars, big cigars and big tits without artificial ingredients. I believe the money I make belongs to me and my family, not to some mid-level bureaucrat with a bad comb-over who wants to give it away to crack addicts squirting out babies.

I don't care about appearing compassionate. I know that playing with guns doesn't make you a killer. I believe it's called the Boy Scouts for a reason. I think I'm better than the homeless.

I don't think being a minority makes you noble or victimized. I don't care if you call me a racist, a homophobe or a misogynist. I shouldn't have to be tolerant of others only because they are different. I know that no matter how big Jennifer Lopez's ass gets, I'll still want to see it. I don't celebrate Kwanzaa.

I believe that if you are selling me a Big Mac, you should do it in English. I like my porn with or without silicon. I don't use the excuse "it's for the children" as a shield for socialist opinions or actions. I want to know when MTV became such crap.

I don't care if getting a bj is sex, and every man is entitled to at least one extremely sloppy one per month. I know what the definition of lying "is". I think Oprah is annoying, and self grandizing. Who else would start a magazine and only have herself on the cover. If she took her head out of her ass for a moment, she might find her spirit once and for all. I want them to bring back safe and sane fireworks.

I believe no one ever died because of something Ozzy Osbourne, Ice-T or Marilyn Manson sang. I think that being a student doesn't give you any more enlightenment than working at Blockbuster.

I don't want to eat or drink anything with the words light, lite or fat-free on the package. I believe everyone has a right to pray to their own God or gods, and they can do it in their schools. I think the Clippers should play in the WNBA. My heroes are Babe Ruth, John Wayne, and whoever canceled "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman." I think gratuitous nudity and sex and creative violence make movies more interesting and Iraqis deader. I don't hate the rich. I don't pity the poor.

I know wrestling is fake, but I still think The Rock kicks ass. I think global warming is junk science. I've never owned or was a slave and I didn't wander forty years in the desert after getting chased out of Egypt and I haven't burned any witches or been persecuted by the Turks and NEITHER HAVE YOU, so SHUTUP already.

"Rocky and Bullwinkle" still makes me laugh. I think you can respect and admire women while mentally undressing them. I believe a self-righteous liberal out to Save The Earth is more dangerous than a Play Station. I want to know which church is it exactly where the "Reverend" Jessie Jackson preaches.

I think explosions are cool. I don't care where Ellen is putting her tongue this week. I think cops should have Something Better To Do than snatching Elian Gonzalez at gunpoint to ship him back to a totalitarian dictatorship. I thought "Spinal Tap" was great, but Rob Reiner can still kiss my ass. I worry about dying before I get even. I figured out Bruce Willis was dead midway through "The Sixth Sense" but enjoyed it anyway. I think turkey bacon sucks.

I want somebody to explain to me exactly why it's wrong to point out that when I watch a freeway chase, I know the losers the police eventually pull out of the car are gonna be some gang-banging homies or vatos. I believe that it doesn't take a village to raise a child - it takes a parent. I think tattoos and piercings are fine if you want them, but please don't pretend they are a political statement.

I like good friends, good liquor and a good bowel movement first thing in the morning. I believe you don't have to speak with a lisp to pick out a couch for your living room.

I'll admit that the only movies that ever made me cry were "Ole Yeller" and "The Sands of Iwo Jima". I didn't realize Dr. Seuss was a genius until I grew up. I will not conform or compromise just to keep from hurting somebody's feelings. Sometimes I throw my soft drink can in the trash, even when the recycle bin is just a few more steps and I crush my cigarettes out on the curb.

Making love is fine, but sometimes I just wanna get laid. I'm neither angry nor disenfranchised, no matter how desperately the mainstream media would like the world to believe otherwise. Yeah, I'm a Bad American!!
