I think it's safe to say he's never read Fitzgerald.

Understood.

BUT - a formal declaration of War would allow emergency powers specifically excluded from the resolution passed by Congress. (including elements of the sedition act!)

Even after being carpet-bombed, these facilities were often back on line within days.

They didn't have to contend with Al EPA.

"This horrible act of terrorism happened because George W. Bush sent our military to Iraq, and left the border wide open! It's Bush's fault, it's his incompetence! He should have sealed the border after 9-11, instead he sent the Army to Iraq!"

You hit the nail on the head with that one.

I might also add..

" He has spent billions on Iraq, diverting money that could have been spent protecting us."

I could make the argument that an attack would solidify the Country behind Bush but my gut feeling is that the dims and media would use it to turn the Country toward Kerry.

That despicable bunch would stop at nothing to get him elected. Security be damned.

I'm sure the terrorists appreciate advice on where to attack us.

When will the US Congress pass a formal declaration of War against terrorists, and any STATE that sponsors or supports terrorists. (Iran, Syria, N.Korea)

Never, because of the same reason you left Saudi Arabia (our greatest threat) off of the list.

This email fits well into this thread.

Subject: The end is near!


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, Malyasia, 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 Unim"

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. The 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 elebrate '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.


My questions to anyone who read all of Lamms words is; Are you supporting a politician who is promoting any of these tactics? Why?

Do you realize you are helping to destroy America?

See #193 and you'll see we don't need to give out specific targets.

We need to tell the RNC that we demand a person who isn't leading us down the path to self destruction. Kerry and Bush both have that trail in mind.

Dear Arabs & Muslins,

As you may have noticed lots of people have been taking a little bit longer look at you lately. They are thinking exactly what you think they are: "Is this person a terrorist?".

As the months and years progress you had all better hope there is not another Islamic attack on United States soil. If so there will be many people here in America that will no longer buy the "Religion of Peace" mantra. In fact, there will be many here in America that do more than look and wonder. There are those who will act, and act harshly. Life for you will be a living hell.

There are still others that will want blood. For them, ostracization and harassment will not be enough. They will take matters into their own hands, and one would image that the outcome will be violent.

It won't matter how much you plead and beg, they will never understand your plight, even though you will be innocent. It is unfortunate, but spot on true. Do not forget who has the guns in America - everybody.

To this end I, and others like me, plea with you to take care of your own. You know who the bad eggs are. You see them in your Mosques and in your community. You have a responsibility to your liberty, freedom, and people to warn the authorities who these bad eggs are.

We know you aren't all bad, and we understand what benefits "The Great Melting Pot" can reap. But understand this - Americans will not tolerate the killing of innocents.

Yes, agreed. A lot of useless "protection" is out there because of PC, and as you correctly observed, PC would be blown away (pardon the pun) if anything more happens on a grand scale.

And 'fraidy-cat french have no say in the WOT. None.

As our level of anxiety rises, al Qaeda has already achieved one of its objectives. The question, if an attack occurs, is whether Americans will deepen their resolve to destroy its enemies or seek to withdraw from the fight?

The DemocRATS, siding with the Terrorists against Bush, are working HARD for the latter .....


This website is now shut down, BUT ..... NOT before I had saved their pic:


Huh ? What in the world is this?
Click here or on the pic to
see al-Qaeda et al at 'work'
WARNING!: Not for the queasy!
(Nevermind! This site's been shut down!)


"Donald Rumsfeld ought to resign immediately!" Gore bellowed. "Our nation is at risk every single day Rumsfeld remains as secretary of defense. We need someone with good judgment and common sense." Like me.



"George W. Bush’s Vietnam" ... quagmire ... "Saddam's torture chambers reopened under new management, U.S. management" ... Bush bad ... Democrats good" ... blah, blah, blah! ....

I don't care what race he is referring to. Using slurs like that is racist.

What the hell is wrong with you people? Do you really think it is okay to use terms like that to refer to anyone?

By the way, although I am white, I do have 3 adopted hispanic nieces and nephews. I also have an adopted Russian Nice.

If you think racial slurs like he used are okay then you are also a hateful racist.

Why do you act as if this is an all white country? You referred to him being "pro-white". "breed out the evil whites.", "Death to white people and white culture"

All of those were from your post. For you to use that sort of rhetoric tells me everything I need to know about you.

America is full of people from everywhere in the world. It is NOT a "white culture". Whatever that is supposed to mean.

Also your capitalization of white throughout your post is very telling.

Your little friend that you are "defending' was banned or suspended last night from that thread.

Wonder why? Maybe he was being hateful?

Run along to your meeting. Don't forget your sheet.
