Remember Orlanid??

Also known as OJR, he dosnt come around much anymore but got this in the email today....thought it was pretty good, I'm sure you will all formk your own opinion.

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-over population 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.'"

1. "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."

2. 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. "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 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.'"

3. 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."

4. "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."

5. "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."

6. "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."

7. "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-culturist, 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."

8. 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.
