Why I CANNOT and WILL NOT Vote For Hillary posted 1/31/2008 2:52:42 PM | 2 kudos what's this?     report abuse

For a long time, I considered voting for Hillary Clinton, because I wanted to be part of the movement to put a woman into the White House. It was, really, the same reason that prompted me at first to consider voting for Rudy Giuliani. I wanted to be part of the movement to put the first Italian in the White House.

But I can't vote for her. She's been noted for being anti-Italian, and I'm sorry, but I have to stand up for my blood, and cast her to the wayside. I will not condone someone who attacks my family indirectly, and who attacks my people. It is not right, and even worse, these attacks go unpunished. I mean, can you believe that? In this society, where one can not attack African Americans, Hispanic Americans, homosexual Americans, or Arab Americans without having their lives ruined, they can attack Italian Americans and not even hear about it from the press the next day? Give me a god damned break.

My family and other Italian Americans BUILT this country. We came over here because the Anglo-Saxons (and I AM half Anglo-Saxon, so you know I have no problem with Anglo-Saxon, I am just pointing this out as historical fact) needed worker bees. We came over here to work in factories, to construct infrastructure, to fight in wars, and basically to stimulate the economy. This is a great country because WE built it, and have we gotten any thanks, ever? No. All we have ever gotten is mockery, ridicule, criticism, and fear because of a few bad Sicilian organised crime groups. Guess what? Every ethnicity has its bad apples. I am sick and tired of turning on the television and seeing images of pizza-eating, greasy haired, foul mouthed, poor Italian people with little to no education, and having these stereotypes go without complaining by people like Al Sharpton or CAIR that black and Arab groups have. We have groups, but they are given virtually NO representation, and they have no credibility in society and are NOT listened to.

It was said in the Godfather II that Italians (by a non-Italian character) are the salt of the earth and the backbone of this country. And you know what? It's true. It is true, and I am not ashamed to admit it. I am not ashamed or afraid of the potential backlash from friends or strangers because they are angry or offended by my remarks.

It is not the Italian Americans (of course there are exceptions, I was hoping this would be inferred, though) that are a bunch of welfare recipient bums, living off the backs of the taxpayers of this country and living off the government because we are too lazy to get a job. We have always been hardworking, patriotic, family-oriented people and it was us who when we came to this country, along with the Irish and the Asians, (legally, may I add!!!), not only broke our backs to succeed, but learned the language and assimilated right away. I do not see this with today's immigrants, and it pisses me off. My great grandparents came from the north and central regions of Italy for a better life, they worked hard, and they learned English. They weren't involved in the mafia, they weren't greasy-haired uneducated fools....they were good people.

Hillary Clinton, if this is true, is a shame to the American people and does not deserve to lead this nation, which includes the Italian Americans that she hates so much. Shame on her.
