Richard D. Lamm was a Democrat who served as governor of Colorado for twelve years from 1975 to 1987. Of the above-quoted third person account regarding his speech on the perils of multiculturalism, he told us in mid-June 2005: A Frightening Analysis 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 ...

Mexifornication?
good man.....
Yeah, Lamm was one of the good Dems, classic lunchbox Democrat. He'd make most of the Pubbies today look like socialists.
Scary.....and true.
What do you mean, "look like?" ;)
As illegals are given more political power, they will seize more and more of America.
Thanks federal government...for nothing.
Wow..just wow. I remember being upset with him when he said senior citizens had an obligation to die, but I'd say he's redeemed himself.
"Diversity is our strength" is the most wrong and dangerous dogma imposed on us.
"Diversity is the gratest ennemy of this country!" - and this from an immigrant. I am here only for some 20+ years and did not pay yet all my dues to this great country. But I am getting there.
As I recall, Gov. Lamm once made a remark to the effect that old people had an obligation to die rather than soak up wasted medical and social resources.
If that's what an "old school" Democrat is or was, then I'm glad I'm not one.
All of this is true, and probably inevitable. The culteral damage we have suffered is probably irreversible.
That article is truly frightening considering the fools in D.C., namely GWB, is planning this as we speak and has chided us who dare speak out against it.
Unforutnately, I agree with you.
Its amazing. Things over the past few years seem to have spiraled so far out of control on this issue. Yet, what do we hear from our "leaders", nothing but nonsense!
Let me guess which type organizations are using this as their recruiting propaganda now.
I disagree that Dick Lamm is a Zell Miller type Democrat. He is a hard-core anti-growth pro-abortion ZPG type environmentalist. His campaign to restrict immigration stems from his anti-growth, fear of overpopulation views, not out of any kind of conservatism.
--you are correct. Those who see him now should review his early seventies stuff---
