| We know Dick Lamm as the former Governor of
Colorado. In that context his thoughts are particularly poignant. Last week
there was an immigration overpopulation conference in Washington, DC, filled to
capacity by many of America'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.
Make it an article of belief that all cultures are equal. hat there are no
cultural differences. 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 an
'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 multicultural 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 worshipped 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. Even barbaric cultures
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 are 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. |
