Ärende: How Liberals are destroying America
===========================================
This is directed toward the immigration problem, but applies to the whole
spectrum of problems we face today. I didn't write this, but I wish I had.
Every one of the major liberal politicians are up to their necks in this
effort, including both Clintons. It took Rome 2000 years to destroy itself.
If we continue the path we are on, it will only take us a bit over 15% of that
time.
Subject: 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 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 emphasizing their similarities as Americans."
"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 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 multiculturism,
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
the situation worsening quickly. 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.
