 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: "Turn America into a bilingual or multi-lingual
and bi-cultural 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: "Invent 'multi-culturalism' 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.
"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 multi-ethnic and multi-cultural 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 sub-groups 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 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 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 'zenophobe' 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 sympatric 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 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.
