A former governor of Colorado, Richard Lamm, gave a speech on Oct. 03, 2003 which was all about what he called "my plan to destroy America." I don't remember all the ways he was going to do it-that would be good to google because they have all been happening since at least that time. One of his main methods was to introduce "multiculturalism." He said that's a powerful tool because he said that no country that has ever had that has survived. Anyone who doesn't want freedom and inalienable rights Must be sick. Why don't these people trade places with someone else who knows the freedoms we have here in this country? What's worse is that if that happens to one it happens to eveybody.

Here is that speech it is well worth the read.
Richard Lamm, a Democrat and former governor of Colorada (1975-1987), gave the following speech before a 2004 immigration-overpopulation conference. It is worth quoting, in its entirety:

I HAVE A PLAN TO DESTROY AMERICA RICHARD D. LAMM

I HAVE A SECRET PLAN TO DESTROY AMERICA. IF YOU BELIEVE, AS MANY DO, THAT AMERICA IS TOO SMUG, TOO WHITE BREAD, TOO SELF-SATISFIED, TOO RICH, LETS DESTROY AMERICA. IT IS NOT THAT HARD TO DO. HISTORY SHOWS THAT NATIONS ARE MORE FRAGILE THAN THEIR CITIZENS THINK. NO NATION IN HISTORY HAS SURVIVED THE RAVAGES OF TIME. ARNOLD TOYNBEE OBSERVED THAT ALL GREAT CIVILIZATIONS RISE AND THEY ALL FALL, AND THAT “AN AUTOPSY OF HISTORY WOULD SHOW THAT ALL GREAT NATIONS COMMIT SUICIDE.” HERE IS MY PLAN:

I. WE MUST FIRST MAKE AMERICA A BILINGUAL-BICULTURAL COUNTRY. HISTORY SHOWS, IN MY OPINION, THAT NO NATION CAN SURVIVE THE TENSION, CONFLICT, AND ANTAGONISM OF TWO COMPETING LANGUAGES AND CULTURES. IT IS A BLESSING FOR AN INDIVIDUAL TO BE BILINGUAL; IT IS A CURSE FOR A SOCIETY TO BE BILINGUAL. ONE SCHOLAR, SEYMOUR MARTIN 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, 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 ITS BASQUES, BRETONS, AND CORSICANS.

II. I WOULD THEN INVENT “MULTICULTURALISM” AND ENCOURAGE IMMIGRANTS TO MAINTAIN THEIR OWN CULTURE. I WOULD MAKE IT AN ARTICLE OF BELIEF THAT ALL CULTURES ARE EQUAL: THAT THERE ARE NO CULTURAL DIFFERENCES THAT ARE IMPORTANT. I WOULD DECLARE IT AN ARTICLE OF FAITH THAT THE BLACK AND HISPANIC DROPOUT RATE IS ONLY DUE TO PREJUDICE AND DISCRIMINATION BY THE MAJORITY. EVERY OTHER EXPLANATION IS OUT-OF-BOUNDS.

III. WE CAN 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 ETHNOCENTRICALLY, AND WHAT IT MEANT TO BE AN AMERICAN, WE ARE LEFT WITH ONLY TOLERANCE AND PLURALISM TO HOLD US TOGETHER.

I WOULD ENCOURAGE ALL IMMIGRANTS TO KEEP THEIR OWN LANGUAGE AND CULTURE. I WOULD REPLACE THE MELTING POT METAPHOR WITH A SALAD BOWL METAPHOR. IT IS IMPORTANT TO INSURE THAT WE HAVE VARIOUS CULTURAL SUB-GROUPS LIVING IN AMERICA REINFORCING THEIR DIFFERENCES RATHER THAN AMERICANS, EMPHASIZING THEIR SIMILARITIES.

IV. HAVING DONE ALL THIS, 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% DROP OUT RATE FROM SCHOOL.

V. I WOULD THEN GET THE BIG FOUNDATIONS AND BIG 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 ALL THE FAULT OF THE MAJORITY - I WOULD START A GRIEVANCE INDUSTRY BLAMING ALL MINORITY FAILURE ON THE MAJORITY POPULATION.

VI. I WOULD ESTABLISH DUAL CITIZENSHIP AND PROMOTE DIVIDED LOYALTIES. I WOULD “CELEBRATE DIVERSITY.” “DIVERSITY” IS A WONDERFULLY SEDUCTIVE WORD. IT STRESSES DIFFERENCES RATHER THAN COMMONALITIES. 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, AND WE CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS MYOPIA. LOOK AT THE ANCIENT GREEKS. DORF’S WORLD HISTORY TELLS US:

THE GREEKS BELIEVED THAT THEY BELONGED TO THE SAME RACE; THEY POSSESSED A COMMON LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE; AND THEY WORSHIPED THE SAME GODS. ALL GREECE TOOK PART IN THE OLYMPIC GAMES IN HONOR OF ZEUS AND ALL GREEKS VENERATED THE SHRINE OF APOLLO AT DELPHI. A COMMON ENEMY PERSIA THREATENED THEIR LIBERTY. YET, ALL OF THESE BONDS TOGETHER WERE NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO OVERCOME TWO FACTORS . . . (LOCAL PATRIOTISM AND GEOGRAPHICAL CONDITIONS THAT NURTURED POLITICAL DIVISIONS . . .)

IF WE CAN PUT THE EMPHASIS ON THE “PLURIBUS,” INSTEAD OF THE “UNUM,” WE CAN BALKANIZE AMERICA AS SURELY AS KOSOVO.

VII. THEN I WOULD PLACE ALL THESE SUBJECTS OFF LIMITS - MAKE IT TABOO TO TALK ABOUT. I WOULD FIND A WORD SIMILAR TO “HERETIC” IN THE 16TH CENTURY - THAT STOPPED DISCUSSION AND PARALYZED THINKING. WORDS LIKE “RACIST”, “XENOPHOBE” THAT HALTS ARGUMENT AND CONVERSATION.

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 SYMPATRIC AND IGNORE THE CUMULATIVE IMPACT.

VIII. LASTLY, I WOULD CENSOR VICTOR HANSON DAVIS’S [Correction: the author is Victor Davis Hanson - ed.] BOOK MEXIFORNIA — THIS BOOK IS DANGEROUS — IT EXPOSES MY PLAN TO DESTROY AMERICA. SO PLEASE, PLEASE — IF YOU FEEL THAT AMERICA DESERVES TO BE DESTROYED — PLEASE, PLEASE — DON’T BUY THIS BOOK! THIS GUY IS ON TO MY PLAN.

“THE SMART WAY TO KEEP PEOPLE PASSIVE AND OBEDIENT IS TO STRICTLY LIMIT THE SPECTRUM OF ACCEPTABLE OPINION, BUT ALLOW VERY LIVELY DEBATE WITHIN THAT SPECTRUM.” — NOAM CHOMSKY, AMERICAN LINGUIST AND US MEDIA AND FOREIGN POLICY CRITIC.

Hard to believe but looks like it is true.
Makes you wonder how this guy is still breathing.

Looks like he's gotten his wish

He even looks like a liberal, hater too.
I wonder what it is that makes them so identifiable? I seem to be able to spot one from a block away. Anyone figure that out yet?

Sounds like the democratic oath to me.

RockKnutne Loc: Valhöll

I think everyone missed his point, this is more a "How To...", not a personal plan. He also went on to add,

"If you look around you, our president and this Congress are dismantling America by design. Call it ‘multi-culturalism’ or ‘diversity’ or ‘one world government’ or ‘globalism’. In the end, it will mean the finish of the United States of America as a free, cohesive, sustainable and functioning society."

"If you as an American citizen continue standing by saying nothing, this country is going down for the count. Everything you work and hope for—will not be there for your children. It’s time for your participation. Conviction without action is worthless."

Wait, what's that?

Sound like a quote from Paul Harvey he done in the late'70,early '80s,also comes right out "The Naked Communist" by W. Cleon Skousen.

Kudos on this post!! And what great state do you hail from, JustMe?

Be careful with the "still breathing" part. I know Exactly how you feel but that's a very steep slope. Then, you're denying him his right to free speech like they want to do to us. His mind has been perverted with liberalism that's been going on for 50 yrs beginning in the first grade because that's all the left has and the earlier they start the better and easier it is for them.

JustMe

For whatever difference it makes Florida.

Governor Lamm was not for those things "to destroy America but using an argument style.

Cut and paste from http://ezinearticles.com/?Does-Multiculturalism-Work?-Five-Arguments-For-And-Against&id=5218997
Five Positive Reasons Why Multiculturalism Should Be Supported

1.Different cultures have different ideas and characteristics. Merging these ideas can lead to a synergy that forwards human progress.
2.The developed countries have got where they are by exploiting weaker less organised countries. They should give something back to human society, by giving people from less economically fortunate cultures a chance to build a life in a more prosperous place.
3.Immigrants benefit society by bringing in new skills, and by being willing to do low level jobs that many locals are unwilling to perform.
4.A cultural mix makes society more interesting and everyone can benefit. For example, people can eat delicious curries all over the UK, and without multiculturalism this would not be possible.
5.A diverse mixture of races improve a nation's pool of sporting athletes, and success in international competitions leads to national pride. Some races possess physical traits that make them more suitable for certain sports, so countries with a diverse racial mix will have an advantage in sporting competitions.


Five Reasons Why We Shouldn't Have Multiculturalism.

1.Immigrants take away the jobs of local people, or undercut prices and therefore make it harder for locals to make a living.
2.Immigrants come here to claim benefits that should only be the rights of the local populace.
3.Immigrants do not try to integrate into local communities, and can make locals feel like foreigners.
4.People from ethnic minorities tend to commit more crimes.
5.Foreign workers only take from their host countries. They earn money, only spend enough to subsist, and send all their savings home. They therefore do not spend enough to benefit the local economy.


Conclusion

The views expressed in the two lists are aggregated from those expressed by people that I know, and from what I have read in the media.

As a statistician, I find it hard to agree or disagree with many of the arguments, as there are rarely any figures to back up or dispute an argument, and the source of any figures would need to be checked for bias.

For example, pro multiculturalism newspaper might publish figures that show how much taxes foreigners pay, to support the argument that they benefit the local economy. However, a paper which wished to promote the opposite view might publish statistics that show the number of foreigners claiming welfare and housing benefits.

Tell your friends that there are pros and cons to everything, too much of anything is no good and that if it's not done in the proper way it will destroy. I'm fortunate to remember the pre-liberal days in America when things were 100% better in every way. Not assimilating to and adopting to the laws of a country will eventually destroy the country. It will take time but it's happening here and it's been estimated that by approximately the year 2040 all of Europe will be Muslim and ruled by their laws and have their version of history. Vladimir Putin even recognizes this threat in Russia and all the Unequivocal signs are everywhere.
