How to kill a nation

[Rexone]

I normally don't forward or post emails I receive but this one rings a bell. Too bad our elected officials are deaf.
Anyway, interesting read...
======================
Scary. It is happening as you read this.... This is happening in
America, right now! ....
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 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
multilingual 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
bicultural 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 Schwartz 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 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 multiculturalism, 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. 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 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.
Thought provoking? Send it on !!

The melting pot metaphor is true. You can have a melting pot as long as all the flavors contribute to the overall taste of the dish. But if you have ingredients that do not mix well or overpower the others, the entire recipe is destroyed.
Paul Harvey listed a bunch of facts about the financial consequences of illegal immigration. Almost 90 hospitals have closed in California because it is mandatory to treat illegals. If they refuse, THEY ARE FINED $50,000! The overall cost to our country is estimated to be 65 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR right now, 11 billion of that being money sent out of California to other countries by illegals. And it's not just California. I see it every day up here. I go to people's houses and see 10-15 people living in a 2 BR apartment, no one except the kids speak english, they all have their "shrines" to Mexico all over their house. Blows me away. Mexico is such a great place but they had to leave? It definitely is the next civil war in the making because the Genie has goten too far out of the bottle to ever be put back.
The politicians are so pussified they will never stand up to the Mexican lobbyists so it will continue. The non-citizens already have it better than we do. They get all the benefits of our society without having to pay for it.
