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 Davis
Hanson 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. 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 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=
P.S. About 30 years ago Dick Lamm was
warning that we couldn't afford to keep everybody alive forever; at some point
in time it was going to be necessary to say we just don't have enough money to
take extraordinary measures to keep everybody alive. It's sad, but
true.
