We know Dick Lamm as the
former Governor of Colorado, a Democrat. 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 bicultural 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, Corsicans and Muslims.'
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 multi-ethnic and multi-cultural experiment might have been achieved
not by tolerance but by hegemony. Without the dominance that once
dictated ethnocentricy 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
plantation.'
'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 precept. 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 'Ba lkanize' 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-cultum, 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
Davis Hanson'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. '
