How to Destroy a Country

THE DESTRUCTION OF AMERICA---FROM WITHIN

Michelle Malkin links this from Bonnie Eggle over at the Immigration Blog who points out these chilling thoughts from Dick Lamm, the former Governor of Colorado, who asks:

Will we still be the "Country of Choice" and still be America if we continue to make the changes forced on us by the people from other countries that come to live in America because we have made America the "Country of Choice"?

Common sense and history provide some strong hints to the proper answer to that one. Bonnie leads off with this intro:

The following remarks by Richard Lamm are remarkable and hard-hitting. I was one of the many attendees at this conference and was as spellbound as the rest of the crowd. Please read and think of the 8 points....how many are already accomplished? That is a frightening thought.

Looking at history and the numerous lessons from the present it should be obvious that most of the world's problems are due to the mixture of different cultures, belief systems, or religions. That is patently obvious, but here in the U.S. it seems that even the obvious is easily ignored by certain peoples. So, despite the fact that 'Balkanization' seems to be a fairly well known problem, we here, or more properly, some here, still find multiculturalism a fascinating and much sought after condition. For those people and as a reminder to the rest of us, Mr. Lamm has some rather sobering news in the form of 8 steps to destroying America. Here's a start:

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 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: "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.

Head on over and read the rest of the steps that we seem well on our way to completing.
Then you should be able to confidently tell the 'enlightened' ones who proclaim the wonders of multiculturalism where they can put their wonderful ideas.

Like Michelle says: Hold their feet to the fire. Bush and our congressional leaders need to get their heads out of their asses the sand and heed the call of immigration reform. This is a genie out of the bottle type of situation. Once that genie gets out it is a bit difficult to get it back in. Just look to France and other living, breathing examples of how not to run a country for inspiration then call your elected officials and light some fires.
