SC&A Vent

The time has come once more for SC&A to unload.

We don't care who we insult or who takes offense. Unlike the other brilliant therapists who regularly blog, we are dead and thus don't give a rats ass about what you think. Further, we are smarter than you, better looking than you and the object of desire of m fabulous and good looking women. For you whiny,metro-sexual and sensitive bastards out there, we concede you look very nice in your pink shirt, yellow paisley tie and dress flip-flops with tassels

Onwards.

Let's get real about immigration. The same cheap ass bigotry that is on display today in much of the right wing blogosphere, predates you. That's right- your high minded bigotry, couched as 'concern,' is nothing new.

When the Irish Catholics came off the boat in New York, escaping from famine and certain death, high minded Americans beat the crap out of them because the freakin' Catholic papist evil bastards were going to ruin the country.

When the Italians and the Jews got off the boat in New York, there were those who met them at the docks and welcomed them with baseball bats- literally. Why? Because the damn Jews and more papist evil bastards Italians were going to ruin America. Later migrations of other ethnic groups were met with similar experiences. If the welcome in New York wasn't enough, that human flotsam that boarded trains to middle America had it even worse. There was no 'neighborhood,' there was not much of an immigrant community to find refuge. Immigrants to these shores faced hatred and bigotry that was unimaginable. Some of this fine and caring 'immigrant aid societies' sold children into servitude in theMidwest (Norman Rockwell never got around to painting pictures of Italian and Irish kids being beaten and worked like farm animals), to never again see their parents. There are countless, similar stories, but they are irrelevant. The only saving grace this country had is the truth that Europeans were even crueler and in other parts of the world, the kafir was treated even worse.

Incredibly, immigrants survived despite the bigotry of many of this country's citizens. Now, pay attention lefties and stop touching yourselves. Your as racist and bigoted as any on the left. We'll get to your sorry and miserable asses later. As for the Hispanics reading this, stick around- you too, are in need of a reality check.

Here's the deal- Hispanic immigrants aren't going to ruin America. You know why? Because they come here as 'wretched refuse.' They have no other place to go. They see the buffet and smorgasbord of possibilities and are willing to work for their share. They have crossed mountains and deserts because they have a dream- they are not broken. That has always been the American way. Now, pay attention because we are going to repeat ourselves because you sorry ass morons didn't pay attention the first time.

We wrote of an experience we had in Europe, a place we know well.

...He then went on to ask me why we thought Europeans were so anti American. We gave him an answer that to this day, defines a good part of our view of European anti Americanism. We went on to explain. Europeans, we said, dislike Americans because, in a short period of human history, went on to surpass Europe in being the center of global influence. What was even worse, was that America was built by European 'garbage' as we put it. He started to object, but we immediately interrupted.

We went on to explain that a century ago, Europe was only too happy to rid itself of the 'wretched refuse' and 'teeming masses'. The European elite and intellectuals thought that once rid of the annoying and newly demanding 'unwashed' peasant class, Europe would once again regain it's rightful place as the center of the moral and political world, and thus preserve the imperialist relationships they had established, if not formally, then by necessity. Through benevolent noblesse oblige, Europe would assume control the economic and political fate of the 'lesser' nations. Without masses of lower classes, now demanding equitable political participation, Europe's destiny would be assured. America, that upstart, would be relegated to it's proper position- that of being subservient to Europe, no more than a source of cheap raw materials for what must be the dominant European economic model. He was intrigued.

We went on to explain further. Europe, we said, never got over the fact that, unleashed, those 'wretched refuse' and 'huddled masses'- their very own- went on to build success not only for themselves, but for their adopted country as well. We said that these unwanted masses of people understood what the elite and intellectuals of Europe never understood for themselves-- that given the opportunity, they were perfectly able to fend for themselves, succeed and even excel. Thus, the European 'refuse' become proud and worthy pillars in the community. Their worth and contributions to the American mosaic was far more than what the Europeans had exploited them for. Europe had made a mistake by sending off it's most abundant natural resource, it's own sons and daughters. All had been willing to work- and then some, had they been given the chance. Europe had squandered it's best and most precious resource- a population ready to do it's best, in exchange for equal opportunity.

Here's the reality horse pill- Hispanic immigrants are no different than European immigrants. Yes, they want to have neighborhood grocery stores that stock food from home and they want to have dry cleaners that explain the spot removal process to them in their own language. So what? In New York, there are dry cleaners who speak Chinese, others who speak Italian and still others that will unload invectives in Yiddish. Spanish speaking dry cleaners will not sink the ocean liner that is America. Besides, as that Hispanic grows out of the neighborhood- and into your four cubits- the kid behind the counter will be going to night school, studying engineering, or law. Be nice- you might need his services one day.

Hispanics also want to educate their kids and build a future for their families. They want o get educated and build businesses. Worried about crime? Well, the Irish 'westies' were not much different than the Italian mob- and they weren't much different from the Jewish gangsters. They were crooks, all of them and for the most part, got what they deserved. That didn't stop those immigrant communities from growing, assimilating and contributing to the American tapestry.

Here's another unspoken secret. In their drive to become 'good Americans,' most immigrants have always been ashamed of their criminal classes- and in fact, went out of their way to be better than average. They had something to prove. That's why Irish beat cops beat the crap out of little red headed boys that stole apples. The cop didn't really care about the kids. He cared that the kid's mother and family would be ashamed. The Irish weren't all shanty, you know. Italian family females were more formidable than most weapons of mass destruction. There was an mother, grandmother, aunt or cousin to keep you in line- and they didn't have to be related to you. Success in Little Italy was a community event. Jewish immigrant parents made sure it was understood that primary education ended with a Bachelor's degree. A graduate degree was OK, but a doctorate was preferable. If you weren't so inclined, that was OK, too. It didn't matter if mama died a few years early, of grief.

There are mothers, fathers and children in the Hispanic community that have Irish, Italian and Jewish traits. For those of you who are wondering why I didn't mention Greeks or Bolivians, be assured that you are idiots.

The lefties are as much racist and bigoted as those on the right- they just pretend they aren't. They don't care about helping people or doing the right thing. If they did, they would not be so anxious to see Iraq disintegrate in chaos and death- in fact, they care about people so much, they can hardly wait for that to happen. Why? Because dead Iraqis, raped Iraqis and butchered Kurds aren't as important as 'getting Bush.' Shut up, lefty that's what it's about- and everybody knows it. If left gave a damn about our nations security, there would be, as The Anchoress once noted, serious discussions with serious people. Here we are, in a post 9/11 world and 'BusHitler!' is thought to be considered opinion. Here we are in a post 9/11 world and mainstream media treats an absolute whack job like Cindy Sheehan as if she were relevant to any serious discussion, anywhere.

If the left really gave a damn, they would have addressed issues of poverty and education in minority communities. Instead, the left have been the principal reason why black Americans are still on the plantation- a plantation built and funded by 'caring' lefties. The left has usurped the drive, ambitions and dreams of black Americans. Why? Because 'guvamint cheeez' buys votes, that's why. The left supports teacher unions that refuse to allow teachers to be tested for subject competency. That's right- who cares if poor, minority kids can read. In fact, it's better if they can't. Don't turn your nose up like that- it is that simple. Why do you suppose there is a knee jerk reaction to any black preacher or leader that publicly says welfare is a bad thing? Why do you suppose there is a knee jerk reaction when a black preacher or minister rails against teenage pregnancy? What is so conservative about that? Why do you suppose some black teachers have to fight to teach responsibility and accountability in classrooms?

Ask Mamacita about schools and kids. She has plenty to say. She's spent decades in the classroom and has impacted more lives, intimately, than the Pope. She fights your impaired and TV induced coma kids (you don't parent because it's so stressful) and she fights a school system and school board that serve as vehicle for providing VIP welfare- a county expense account. Show us a parent who is truly concerned abouteducating their children and you'll find an adult insulted that that they would be paid for doing what they are supposed to do. Why the hell are school board members paid? Do teachers who buy supplies and spend hours after school tutoring kids, get extra money? What about those texbook publishers kickbacks and perks? Think any of that is passed around by school board members?

Lastly, a word to the loudmouth Hispanics (fortunately, a minority) reading this: You aren't special, you aren't important and neither California or Texas will be ceded back to Mexico. You can be just as racist and obnoxious as anyone else. Just because some little anglo bimbo named tiffanyis impressed with your ability to recite nursery rhymes in Spanish and pass it it off as literature, is irrelevant. You are average, in every sense of the word. Your machismo means nothing to most of us. One more thing- Che Gueverra was not a hero. He was an evil, sick bastard and the whole world knows it

If you choose, you can work and make a life for yourselves and your families. You have the opportunity to add to the American tapestry. As is the case with most immigrants, you can adopt America and American values into your hearts. If you choose not to, that's OK, too, because in ageneration or two, your kids will be Americans, no matter how hard you try to ignore or prevent that.

You came here illegally- just like millions before you, It is your misfortune to live in a era of computers. Deal with it. Play by the rules, do what the government asks and do it legally. If you do, you will get your shot. No, you will not be given immediate citizenship and the right to vote. Why? Because in America, those are things you earn.

No matter how many Hispanic illegal aliens are here, America will not become Mexico. Every town has computers, decent police forces and fair judges, unlike the places you came from. Play by the rules, and you'll never have to fear the authorities.

We have more to say, but as it is, this post is too long. Our next post will address those of you that aren't happy the President of the United States isn't responding to your selfish and narcissistic needs.

We can only hope you've learned something. It's a long shot, we know, but we are Americans- and we are an optimistic lot.
