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. That 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 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. If you care
for and love our country as I do, take the time to pass this on just as I did
for you. NOTHING is going to happen if you don't. |
