our very freedom is at risk

[racegun]

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 Basque 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
multiculturalism, 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 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
reminiscent of George Orwell's book 1984."





In that story 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 . So, when do
we as a nation, wake up and retake our country, require English as the
national language once again, STOP illegal immigration, and unite for the
good of our country? It is past time to drop the ACLU and reunite as we did
during WWII. Yes, we were all young in those days, but we still remember
the support for the troops, support for the war effort, and support for our
country and freedoms.





Thought provoking? Send it on.



PS - the author of Mexifornia is not correct - the author's name is Victor
Davis Hanson.

I imagine similar words were uttered after the Irish potato famine in the 1800s
