We all 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 named 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, 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 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
ethnocentrically 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 reinforcing 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 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 over come 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 can 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. Every discussion is
being suppressed. Over 100 languages are ripping the foundation of our
educational system and national cohesiveness. 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 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.
HAPPY HOLIDAY REPLACES MERRY CHRISTMAS?
If you believe in advancing the cause of multiculturism and diversity, send
more money to your University - they've made promoting it to our children an
industry.
