America's "Suicide"
So I got an email from my dad that just plain scares me.
The Suicide of America - Multiculturalism
For those of you on the 'Conservative' side of
the fence, read this and learn to understand your
feelings better than ever. For those of you not on the
'Conservative' side, please read and learn a different
viewpoint.
Wherever you stand, please take the time to read this;
it will highly impact you!
We know Dick Lamm as the former Governor of
Colorado. In that context his thoughts are particularly
poignant. Recently, there was an immigration
overpopulation conference in Washington, D.C., 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.
Governor Lamm 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 & 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, Make it an article of belief that all
cultures are equal..that there are no cultural
differences. 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 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 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.
"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 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 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.
If you care for and love our Country, as I do,
take the time to pass this on, just as I did for you.
NOTHING will happen if you don't! So please inform
all you know of these facts.
"Twenty years from now you will be more
disappointed by the things that you didn't do - than
by the ones you did do"
--------------------------------------------------------------
My response:
Wow.
It's amazing to me how so many people assume that we've already got it all figured out in America, and that there's no way it could improve by assimilating parts of other cultures.
The American Dream is that it IS a melting pot. Or at least, that's what it would seem the founding fathers created it for - they were sick and tired of the bigotry and one-ness of the English monarchy, so they created something that was diverse. That was the POINT.
Maybe if we all stopped bitching at each other about "protecting ourselves against the threat of immigration", and started finding solutions on how it can strengthen our nation, we would find the unity we so strongly seek?
---------------------------------------------------------------
Neo-neo-nazi-ism, anyone? "Forget the Jews, let's dig into this Mexican-problem."
I am so embarassed of some of my countrymen, sometimes.
