How To Destroy America


"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 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.
Thehistorical 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.
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."

Dick Lamm is probably a good example of a neoconservative--that is a liberal hit by reality.

Lamm was responsible for killing the 1976 winter Olympics in Colorado--after Colorado was named the winner by the IOC. Innsbruck, Austria, said thank you very much and took over. Although there have been talks of trying to lure those games again, Lamm's action probably killed the winter Olympics from ever coming to Colorado in the near future.

He also killed an interstate highway as environmentally unsound that would have circled the city of Denver. Denver, may be the only big city of America without one. Some cities, such as KC, have two, an inner and an outer ring.

Since that time, the local governments have struggled with the huge influx of people and vehicles and congestion on local arteries and the city is now three-fourths circled by a private four lane expensive toll way owned by a company in Belgium. The costs to construct this highway were many times more than what it would have cost at the time Lamm killed it. The remaining one-fourth leg cost will be even more.   

Since leaving office he has changed his views on many things and left the Democrat party but has refused to declare himself a Republican citing the Christian Coalition as objectionable. He lost a challenge to Ross Perot for the Reform Party nomination for president in 1996.

Just some thoughts on this.....my own....
1. Which culture would be the one to enforce here? The Native American which is actually the only "AMerican" culture? The Spanish culture of the Conquistadors who were here first of the Europeans? The French? The British? The Vikings who were the actual first European explorers to land here?

2. Which brings us to language...see number 1 although I realize and personally see English as our official language.

3. immigrants have always kept their culture and their languages alive in their family groups, communities etc. Do we outlaw that the way they did to the Natives when the government sent their children to the government schools to be assimilated and punished them for speaking their native language or trying to keep their traditions? I'm sorry but isn't that why Europeans came here in the FIRST place? So they could freely practice their OWN specific culture and religion?

4. I agree the culture of "I'm a victim because of whatever" has to stop. That's a lack of education and raising more than anything.

It really doesn't have to be either/ or. I see the need for one "official language" for the establishment and after a certain point in schools. I believe it is a parents duty to teach their children both their native language if they want AND the language of the country they live in. we have a LOT of this in my neck of the woods. Between the Mexicans, the Samoans, the Vietnamese, Chinese etc. I have had to work with guys who spoke no english and it's a pain in the ass sometimes but you get around it. Diversity isn't the problem in my opinion, it's the lack of willingness of people to embrace MORE than their own personal culture. The way I see it if I went to Mexico to live I would learn to speak Spanish or French in France Etc. This is the kind of things that fly through my mind when I start thinkin
