A Frightening Analysis

This is a speech given about 2 years ago but still worth repeating. Have you heard this?

We all 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 named 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, 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 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 multicultural experiment might have been achieved! Not by tolerance but by hegemony. Without the dominance that once dictated ethnocentrically 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 reinforcing 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 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! Unity is what 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 over come 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 can 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 'x! xenophobes' 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. Every 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 are 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.

You seem to keep forgetting something. WE AIN'T TALKING ABOUT CANADA! What works there does not necessarily mean it'll work here.

Sometimes I have grave fears for your reading ability. Canada was one of the examples of a state where diversity hasn't worked, and indeed Lamm suggests that a multilingual US would fail because all multilingual states are failures.

Diversity works well with Switzerland too. They have three native languages and English as a fairly well-spread second language.

You're making a rather large assumption that he really read the whole thing.

IN the respect of integrating into A society, he is dead on.  It is not working in canada.  Canada is one vote away from splintering.

It's hard to believe but this quote is almost 100 years old. Let's go back and take a peek at what was said by President Roosevelt in 1907:

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

And I wonder about your reading ability!

Why would President Bush allow this to happen? It seems to me that he's trying to bring America down. Would a Christain man do such a thing? I believe he's trying to push us to a one world order. At best trying to get rid of the middle class and just have the upper and lower class survive.

Diversity works as long as you don't have a narrow view of what "America" is. If you see America as a WASPy cultural center, then sure, your America is under attack and is losing miserably. If you can see an America where people speak a lot of different languages, and where moral values shift and change according to the will of the people, then there's nothing threatened, only the definition is in flux.

That's the problem we have with quasi-Liberals in America, for that matter. They see the current trend toward conservative moral values and opposition to abortion as the destruction of their America. That's no different than people who are protectionist about culture, or language, or even race. America is going to be a reflection of the will of the people if it works honestly. The only way you can avoid such changes are to keep large segments of the population from expressing themselves politically.

Democracy is a threat for people like that, as in the Afghanistan discussion. They deem democracy to only be valid when the choices made reflect their values. Anything else is an 'end' to their nation.

It works both ways.

"It works both ways."


Ah, but one side acknowledges that they are defenders of traditional values and their concept of "America." The other side claims to be open to all values and welcoming to diversity. In reality they welcome only that which doesn't threaten their view of "the way things oughtta be."

That's why I laugh when I hear people characterize Republicans as the ones who are stolid defenders of values against the flow of social evolution. Such ignores the fact that their mirrors are just blindly defending boomer liberalism, no different than if they were chanting "the bible tells me so".

And once again, a voice which dares to speak out against the New PC Reality is casually dismissed as unhinged or mildly demented.
Everything he said is true. Change is not always a good thing. Europe's just having a GRAND time trying to assimilate all those hardheaded Muslim immigrants into what will one day soon undoubtedly be The Greater European Caliphate, or perhaps "Eurabia". Good luck to them.

Diversity dilutes national identities; makes nations forget who, what and why they are WHAT they are. It's happening as we speak, but is dismissed because the prevailing media agree with it.

That's a really scary thing to say, Rightwinger. We aren't a WASP nation, never have been, never will be. We've just always been good at shoving all the non-WASPS out of view. Before you start saying stuff like that you might should consider other people who thought their national identity was getting 'diluted' by all those other races...

America is a reflection of the population. If you think it is somehow a particular culture or set of values, you find me where it says so in the Constitution. The founding fathers made a concerted effort NOT to build-in the values of the hard-headed puritan immigrants that founded this place.

Creepy comment.

Right, but when our great-grandparents came here, they were expected, and indeed even WANTED, to assimilate. Learn the laws, culture, history and language. Become an American. If they wanted to honor old traditions and speak their native tongues in the home, or within their neighborhoods or crowds, fine; but they were expected to become AMERICANS.
That's been supplanted by an enforced respecting of Juan's Latino heritage, Hans' German heritage, Francois' French heritage, Abdul's Arabian heritage, etc., instead of requiring them to become AMERICANS. Instead of being AMERICANS, we're becoming a nation of Mexican-Americans, German-Americans, Franco-Americans (mmmmm...Spaghetti-O's and meatballs!) and Arab-Americans. This is not a good change. It IS diluting our identity, this lack of a sense of unity (that saw us through other wars, for example), and is only serving to weaken us.
