Thumbs up Great American

This was in an email sent to me and I thought it was great. It had a pic of a guy laying back on a Heritage but you get the idea. Just thought I'd share.

I am an American.


I am a White, Tax-Paying,
American Veteran,
Gun-owning Biker.
I am a Master leatherworker.
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,
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, Democratic or Republican,
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 Dick Blake, 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've never owned a slave, nor was 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 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 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.

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!

Dang, when I read the thread title, I thought it was going to be about me! LOL. Turns out though the guy thinks a lot like me. +1 on the vote, if we could get him to run. My guess is, that if he won, he might make a dash for the door after a couple days in DC.
