Are we surprised? Yes, what is happening to America? It's so watered down now, we don't know what or who we are!!! And now all the "immigration" hooplah! People! We're trying to protect Americans within the boundaries of America...........WHY DON'T THEY GET IT???? Become a loyal, true-blue American? What's wrong with allegiance to America???
We know Dick Lamm as the former Governor of Colorado. In that
context his thoughts are particularly poignant. Last week there was
an immigration over-population conference in Washington DC, filled
to capacity by many of American's finest minds and leaders. A
brilliant college professor by the name of Victor Hansen Davis
talked about his latest book, "Mexifornia," explaining how
immigration - both legal and illegal - was destroying the entire
state of California. He said it would march across the country until
it destroyed all vestiges of The American Dream.
Moments later, former Colorado Governor Richard D. Lamm stood up and
gave a stunning speech on how to destroy America. The audience sat
spellbound as he described eight methods for the destruction of the
United States. He said, If you believe that America is too smug, too
self-satisfied, too rich, then let's destroy America. It is not that
hard to do. No nation in history has survived the ravages of time.
Arnold Toynbee observed that all great civilizations rise and fall
and that 'An autopsy of history would show that all great nations
commit suicide."
Here is how they do it," Lamm said:
"First, to destroy America, turn America into a bilingual or
multi-lingual and bicultural country." History shows that no nation
can survive the tension, conflict, and antagonism of two or more
competing languages and cultures. It is a blessing for an individual
to be bilingual; however, it is a curse for a society to be
bilingual. The historical scholar, Seymour Lipset, put it this way:
"The histories of bilingual and bi-cultural societies that do not
assimilate, are histories of turmoil, tension, and tragedy. "
Canada, Belgium, Malaysia, and Lebanon all face crises of national
existence in which minorities press for autonomy, if not
independence. Pakistan and Cyprus have divided Nigeria suppressed an
ethnic rebellion. France faces difficulties with Basques, Bretons,
and Corsicans."
Lamm went on: Second, to destroy America, "Invent 'multiculturalism'
and encourage immigrants to maintain their culture. I would make it
an article of belief that all cultures are equal. That there are no
cultural differences. I would make it an article of faith that the
Black and Hispanic dropout rates are due solely to prejudice and
discrimination by the majority. Every other explanation is out of
bounds.
Third, "We could make the United States a 'Hispanic Quebec' without
much effort. The key is to celebrate diversity rather than unity. As
Benjamin Schwarz said in the Atlantic Monthly recently: "The
apparent success of our own multiethnic and multi-cultural
experiment might have been achieved not by tolerance but by
hegemony. Without the dominance that once dictated ethnocentricity
and what it meant to be an American, we are left with only tolerance
and pluralism to hold us together. " Lamm said, "I would encourage
all immigrants to keep their own language and culture. I would
replace the melting pot metaphor with the salad bowl metaphor. It is
important to ensure that we have various cultural subgroups living
in America enforcing their differences rather than as Americans,
emphasizing their similarities."
"Fourth, I would make our fastest growing demographic group the
least educated. I would add a second underclass, unassimilated,
undereducated, and antagonistic to our population. I would have this
second underclass have a 50% dropout rate from high school"
"My fifth point for destroying America would be to get big
foundations and business to give these efforts lots of money. I
would invest in ethnic identity, and I would establish the cult of
'Victimology.' I would get all minorities to think that their lack
of success was the fault of the majority I would start a grievance
industry blaming all minority failure on the majority population."
"My sixth plan for America's downfall would include dual
citizenship, and promote divided loyalties. I would celebrate
diversity over unity. I would stress differences rather than
similarities. Diverse people worldwide are mostly engaged in hating
each other - that is, when they are not killing each other. A
diverse, peaceful, or stable society is against most historical
precedent People undervalue the unity it takes to keep a nation
together. Look at the ancient Greeks. The Greeks believed that they
belonged to the same race; they possessed a common language and
literature; and they worshiped the same gods. All Greece took part
in the Olympic games. A common enemy, Persia, threatened their
liberty. Yet all these bonds were not strong enough to overcome two
factors: local patriotism and geographical conditions that nurtured
political divisions. Greece fell. E Pluribus Unum" -- From many,
one. In that historical reality, if we put the emphasis on the
'pluribus', instead of the 'Unum,' we will balkanize America as
surely as Kosovo."
"Next to last, I would place all subjects off limits; make it taboo
to talk about anything against the cult of 'diversity.' I would find
a word similar to 'heretic' in the 16th century - that stopped
discussion and paralyzed thinking. Words like 'racist' or
'xenophobe' halt discussion and debate. Having made America a
bilingual/bicultural country, having established multi-culturism,
having the large foundations fund the doctrine of 'Victimology,' I
would next make it impossible to enforce our immigration laws. I
would develop a mantra: That because immigration has been good for
America, it must always be good. I would make every individual
immigrant symmetric and ignore the cumulative impact of millions of
them."
In the last minute of his speech, Governor Lamm wiped his brow.
Profound silence followed. Finally he said,. "Lastly, I would censor
Victor Hanson Davis's book Mexifornia. His book is dangerous. It
exposes the plan to destroy America If you feel America deserves to
be destroyed, don't read that book."
There was no applause. A chilling fear quietly rose like an ominous
cloud above every attendee at the conference. Every American in that
room knew that everything Lamm enumerated was proceeding
methodically, quietly, darkly yet pervasively across the United
States today. Discussion is being suppressed. Over
100 languages are ripping the foundation of our educational system
and national cohesiveness. Barbaric cultures, such as those that
practice female genital mutilation, are growing as we celebrate
'diversity.' American jobs are vanishing into the Third World as
corporations create a Third World in America - take note of
California and other states - to date, ten million illegal aliens
and growing fast. It is reminiscent of George Orwell's book 1984."
In that story, three slogans are engraved in the Ministry of Truth
building: "War is peace," "Freedom is slavery," and "Ignorance is
strength."
Governor Lamm walked back to his seat. It dawned on everyone at the
conference that our nation and the future of this great democracy is
deeply in trouble and worsening fast if we don't get this
immigration monster stopped within three years, it will rage like a
California wildfire and destroy everything in its path, especially
The American Dream .
