How To Destroy America

Scary

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.

" Applicants exempt from this requirement are those who on the date of filing:

have been residing in the United States subsequent to a lawful admission for permanent residence for periods totaling 15 years or more and are over 55 years of age;
have been residing in the United States subsequent to a lawful admission for permanent residence for periods totaling 20 years or more and are over 50 years of age; or
have a medically determinable physical or mental impairment, where the impairment affects the applicant’s ability to learn English."

Oddly, the reality stated here and elsewhere is that people have to have translators to be sworn in as Americans, so I'm not sure how you can really point to that. Most of our modern immigration junk goes back to the 1950's, too, when all those scary feriners were sneaking in with thier pinko communism.

Needless to say, I'm unimpressed with a nation that can't stomach declaring a national language and yet makes petty technicalities in the fine print to enforce it. Not that they do...

"And "why" should he have to learn spanish?

Because he needs a towel from someone who only speaks spanish. Welcome to reality, Mr. Cleaver. The Beav should probably also learn a bit of Spanish in case he needs a towel in the future.

"Does he live in a spanish speaking country? No. he lives in America, where we speak "English"!"

No, you speak English. I speak English. Not everyone here speaks English, as evidenced by KFC's towel tribulations, and my experience ordering food at almost every fast food restaurant I go to.

"It is neither right or fair to the rest of us that we have to learn their language to recieve decent service while in America. You want decent service in Mexico? Learn spanish! For those serving here, learn english!"

Lol, right and fair. Hrm. Which side is it in every discussion telling the Liberals that life isn't, and shouldn't always be fair? Lemme think...

How about if you go into a service industry that you know ahead of time is filled with people that speak spanish, why don't you learn to speak spanish? It really boggles the mind to hear people defending their right to be unable to communicate lambasting people who are unable to communicate.

Again, I'll not bother imposing my wacko views on those enjoying their cultural protectionist banter here. I've expressed myself as about as well as I am able on my blog.

I'll just say here, as I have elsewhere, that never in American history have people been so pithy and dismissive of millions of people marching in the street in state after state. The visigoths weren't bad people, the Romans were just idiots.

I would expect no less myself if I moved to Brazil, Korea or Russia. I would learn the language and do my best to speak it out of respect for my new adopted country.

Actually, have you tried to learn Korean? I've been trying for nearly 5 years. I'm finding it really hard and I'm quite a talented linguist. I live in Korea and let me tell you I haven't met many westerners here who can speak it at all. Most Koreans understand that few of us will be here long enough to make the herculean effort needed to master this very difficult (for a native English speaker) language.

It's very easy to make glib statements about learning foreign languages, as if a couple of weeks of night school will fix the problem. It's also a big mistake to assume that someone who doesn't speak another language well isn't really trying. Miguksaramhanteneun hangungmal chongmal eoreoweoyo!

No I agree with you Chak but that wasn't the point. The point was if I were in another culture I'd do my best to learn the language especially if I'm serving clientel. In order to serve and help another, I'd first have to be able to understand them.

I have two people here in my church that grew up in Korea. They cook Korean dishes often for us and tell us bits and pieces of the culture they grew up in. They are American Missionaries and do understand the language.

School children in Asian countries are required to learn English.

I agree with drmiler. When in Rome......

Sorry, I've been offline for a while.

No, but rightwinger did, and yet you can't understand why I would react strongly to it?

Baker, I don't recall saying there was anything wrong with it. In fact, here's what I did say:

if they wanted to speak their native languages and keep their traditions in their own homes and neighborhoods, fine. That's what America is built on, yes. Diversity. A whole lot of our traditions, foods and styles are based on those from other nations, after all. I love Chinese and Mexican foods.
But it's not good when they're encouraged to keep their loyalties to their native cultures and beliefs, even as they enjoy the benefits of American citizenship. That's what bothers me. They're not required to assimilate anymore; if you want to be American, it's okay to still be German, Russian, Arabian, whatever......that's what weakens us.

There's nothing "American" that's truly "American", but loyalty to one's country is loyalty to one's country.
KFC correctly pointed out that having everyone speak different languages would not be conducive to victory on, say, a battlefield. That's very true. It's also not very effictive in business, emergency services and simple conversation.
English IS, after all, the national language of America. Has been since 1776. You want to come and live here from somewhere else, GREAT!
But learn English, and don't coerce me into having to learn your tongue. Not doing it unless I want to. I'm not the one going to your country to live. If I go there for a visit, I'll take a translation dictionary and try to speak your language. That would be courteous. Extend the same to me.

As to American soldiers in uniform, no....you're right. I have no idea how many in uniform now might have Iraqi ancestry. That doesn't matter.
My point was mainly that I have yet to see all those "loyal American" Muslims (including Iraqis, who presumably came here to get away from the evils of Saddam and his thugs), who supposedly hate the way the Fundamentalists have taken their faith hostage, rushing out and lining up at Armed Forces Recruitment Centers.
If they're so loyal to this, their adopted nation, and so hate the Fundamentalists, they should be camping outside the Centers like "Star Wars" fans at a theater, eagerly awaiting the opportunity to join in and aid the defense of their country and faith, like the Japanese-Americans did back then.
But no, they sit idly back and watch utterly innocent people being executed by Fundamentalist thugs, and soldiers from their own nation, that are defending them, in reality, get killed, without lifting a finger.

But let a couple cartoons get published, and HOOO BOY. Lookout.

That's what bothers me.

So, you are saying what?

English is not our national language. The United States does not have a national language.Lots of businesses do quite well in the US not speaking a word of English. As to emergencies, I grant it may be "common sense" that we find a common language, but in the US it is but no means assured that language will be English.

But learn English, and don't coerce me into having to learn your tongue. Not doing it unless I want to. I'm not the one going to your country to live.

No one is coercing you, but it might help to break down cultural barriers and increase understanding if we attempted to learn some of the language of our neighbors. "Your" country is an interesting choice of words, suggesting that immigrants are not as "American" as you.

My point was mainly that I have yet to see all those "loyal American" Muslims (including Iraqis, who presumably came here to get away from the evils of Saddam and his thugs), who supposedly hate the way the Fundamentalists have taken their faith hostage, rushing out and lining up at Armed Forces Recruitment Centers.

Since you do not have the numbers and have not camped out yourself at recruiting stations (assuming you live in a predominately Muslim neighborhood) how can you say this? As it turns out, "loyal American WASPS seem to be having the same difficulty getting to the recruiting stations. In another sense, let me ask this, why would an Iraqi immigrant who has (to go with your scenario) fled Iraq for refuge here in the US deliberately put himself back in Iraq where he would very likely be high on the hit list of insurgents? My sense is they are doing about the same as you, earning a living and paying the taxes that enable other poor youngsters to go out there and be targets.

As to the cartoon quip, I didn't see a lot of American immigrants protesting this, a few perhaps, but most of those protests were in Europe and the Middle East.

Be well.

English is not our national language. The United States does not have a national language

And you woould be incorrect in "assuming" this. The language of a nation is usually the one printed on their "national" currency. Is ours printed in Spanish or something? NO!!! It's printed in "English"!

But learn English, and don't coerce me into having to learn your tongue. Not doing it unless I want to. I'm not the one going to your country to live.

And "this" works both ways!

Technically, Sodaiho is correct. There is legally no official national language of the United States, although it is clear that English has served that role de facto from since before the establishment of the nation.

WIKIPEDIA:
Official language(s): none at Federal level; English de facto.

CIA FACTBOOK:
English 82.1%, Spanish 10.7%, other Indo-European 3.8%, Asian and Pacific island 2.7%, other 0.7% (2000 census) [No official national language cited].

English First is an organisation that exists to establish English as the official national language. Link. Its very existence suggests that English is not yet legally the official national language of the United States.

The language of a nation is usually the one printed on their "national" currency.

Your point that for all practical purposes (just another way to say de facto

) English is the main language employed in the United States is obviously correct.

So, you are saying what?

I'm saying that, if they want to be American, they should have loyalty to this country and no other. Increasingly, that is not the case. Read my posts above my last, and you'll get a clearer picture of my opinion.

Sorry, guys, but the above quotes are merely semantic arguments. The country was founded, officially, by English-speaking people. The Great Documents of our nation (Declaration of Independence, US Constitution) were written in English. This makes English the main language of the US.

Indeed. As is your argument

BECAUSE

This makes English the main language of the US.

is EXACTLY the same as saying:

Come on, Chak...... you're ususally better than this.
To debate that the fact English is (okay, UNOFFICIALLY; it was never made OFFICIAL, because it didn't need to be. The debate would have been carried out in English, after all, and that propbably would have seemed a little redundant to the fairly common-sensical Founders) the language of the US is like saying surrender, collaboration and accepting military help from countries they later spit on, undermine and backstab isn't the UNOFFICIAL political position of France. It's what they do, for crying out loud.

So, in fifty years or less (probably much sooner), will the UNOFFICIAL language of the US be Spanish?
