They the People (We are a fragmented nation,ripping at the seams)
ChronWatch ^ | Wednesday, June 07, 2006 | Nancy Salvato

Posted on 06/07/2006 3:34:59 AM PDT by IrishMike

We are a fragmented nation. Erosion is slowly chipping away at the belief system that once served to tie us together as a people. Indeed, movements are afoot, and their radical self interest goals at odds with the vision of our founders. Perhaps most frightening are large numbers of people so focused on their own wants and needs that they are oblivious to the threat, and unconcerned how each tear in the collective fabric of our country effects their lives in the long run. The patchwork quilt, constructed from the assortment of ethnic groups making up our unique population, is ripping at the seams.

Portions of article:...................

Reconquista Movement

The goal of the Reconquista Movement is to retake Aztlan, the southwestern area of the United States, which some Mexican immigrants consider theirs. They consider that they are “Americans” free to migrate anywhere on the continent and so refuse to recognize U. S. sovereignty ..................................................... Hawaiian Sovereignty Movement

“Whatever comes of the Hawaiian sovereignty movement, Nov. 23, 1993, is likely to be marked as the day it all started. On that day, the U.S. Congress adopted, and President Clinton signed, a joint resolution of apology to Native Hawaiians for the overthrow of the Hawaiian kingdom 100 years earlier.” 3 Hawaii was a monarchy, ruled by a queen with sovereignty over her people. ................................................... New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense

Perhaps the most frightening movement of all is the NBP, which has been condemned by several members of the original Black Panthers for condoning racism. It is, “the largest organized anti-Semitic black militant group in America.” 5 Established by former Milwaukee City Council member Michael McGee, the NBP is a militia whose initial mission was to carry out violent attacks on the government, private interests, and millionaires. Khallid Muhammad, their leader until his death in 2001, “referred to Jews as 'bloodsuckers,' called for genocide against whites, vulgarly ridiculed Pope John Paul II, and demeaned homosexuals.” .................................................... If the leadership of our country doesn’t comprehend the belief system that binds us together as a nation, how can its people? Only an aggressive campaign promoting the civic education of our citizenry will assemble a force big enough to counter those putting their radical self interests above the common goals of the country. These are troubled times.

I can't imagine any outcome other than an armed revolution of the people against the government in the next 20 years.

Richard Lamm on Multiculturalism

Status: True

"Here is how they do it," Lamm said: First to destroy America, "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: Second, to destroy America, "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.

Third, "We could 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.'"

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."

"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! Unity is what 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 worshiped the same gods. All Greece took part in the Olympic Games.

Does any of this sound familiar to any of my fellow freepers?

I CAN imagine an alternative other than armed revolt -- but it isn't better. I can imagine democratically CHOOSING the Strong Man, who can bring order, but destroy democracy in the doing.

We have to stop being cowed by "political correctness" and the fear of being branded "racists." It's time to tell the truth.

Biblically, that would be the AntiChrist. I like Armed Revolt better!

The only alternative I can think of is to actually ALLOW and Encourage the balkanization. Let liberty flourish, and let lots of mini-cultures be themselves. Vouchers, for example, so the argument about what goes on in Public schools is over. Skip trying to have one language -- let the market-place decide which language is spoken -- my bet is that English wins, but if it doesn't, so what? Abortion? Let the individual states decide. Lots of other applications.

Don't even try to by one American culture, because it's impossible, and it really wasn't the original founders ideal anyway. They never imagined that the 13 original states would all lose their individualality. For a long time we WERE able to conglomerate, but that time may be gone.

And anyway, armed revolt is an even surer way to end up with the dictator.

Yeah armed revolt against the British certainly ended with this country ruled by a dictator. (sarc)

Are you high? Liberty and balkanization are at odds with each other.

How can you not see that?

How about getting involved in local politics.

Run for the local council. Volunteer for county planning commissions and health boards.

If conservatives take over local governments, the federal government is checkmated. The head (federal government) can't operate without the body (local government). And there's nothing the federal government can do about it.

With conservatives in charge of local governments, you have police power, executive power, legislative power and judicial power. That power can be used to stop Washingtpon bureaucrats abusing federal power.

With local power, federal bureaucrats can be harassed, ostracized, arrested and imprisoned for violating law.

The American Revolution originated with local governments.

There's your legal alternative to armed revolt.

And frankly, I'm appalled by the lack of conservative citizens at local government meetings.

All this + continuous efforts in P.R. department - to clarify and get our point across - makes all the difference!

Thomas Jefferson on uncontrolled immigration:




"…But are there no inconveniences to be thrown into the scale against the advantage expected from a multiplication of numbers by the importation of foreigners?

It is for the happiness of those united in society to harmonize as much as possible in matters which they must of necessity transact together. Civil government being the sole object of forming societies, its administration must be conducted by common consent.

Every species of government has its specific principles. Ours perhaps are more peculiar than those of any other in the universe. It is a composition of the freest principles of the English constitution, with others derived from natural right and natural reason.

To these nothing can be more opposed than the maxims of absolute monarchies. Yet, from such, we are to expect the greatest number of emigrants.

They will bring with them the principles of the governments they leave, imbibed in their early youth; or, if able to throw them off, it will be in exchange for an unbounded licentiousness, passing, as is usual, from one extreme to another. It would be a miracle were they to stop precisely at the point of temperate liberty.

These principles, with their language, they will transmit to their children. In proportion to their numbers, they will share with us the legislation. They will infuse into it their spirit, warp and bias its direction, and render it a heterogeneous, incoherent, distracted mass.


I may appeal to experience, during the present contest, for a verification of these conjectures. But, if they be not certain in event, are they not possible, are they not probable?

Is it not safer to wait with patience 27 years and three months longer, for the attainment of any degree of population desired, or expected? May not our government be more homogeneous, more peaceable, more durable?

Suppose 20 millions of republican Americans thrown all of a sudden into France, what would be the condition of that kingdom? If it would be more turbulent, less happy, less strong, we may believe that the addition of half a million of foreigners to our present numbers would produce a similar effect here.

If they come of themselves, they are entitled to all the rights of citizenship: but I doubt the expediency of inviting them by extraordinary encouragements…." ~Thomas Jefferson, 1787

[From Notes on the State of Virginia, ed. William Peden (Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press for the Institute of Early American History and Culture, Williamsburg, Virginia, 1954), 84-5.]

>>my bet is that English wins, but if it doesn't, so what?<<

So, you're saying that you wouldn't have anything against suddenly finding your neighborhood an enclave in, say, a linguistically and culturally predominantly Chinese, Tagalog, or Islamic mini-state? Discovering that your Anglophonic children are disadvantaged at school because many classes aren't offered in their mother tongue, or because your girls don't wish to wear a veil? Perhaps you are just assuming that the Anglophonic, Judeo-Christian segment of society should simply keep retreating, and relocating to those increasingly small and isolated pockets of Western Culture where they are still in the majority, where they can live and work amongst "their own?"
