How did he get his hands on the 2006 Democrat Platform?

[brain bleeds red]

Nice parody. It reeks of potent truth.

...a nice update of Swift's "A Modest Proposal"; I love it when someone absolutely hits the nail on the head like that! Thanks for the post...

This is the guy that said "liberals and democrat's are your best neighbors but worst ancestors cause they will help you out but leave nothing for future generations.

[Alexander Rubin]

Too close to the truth to be a satire that sits comfortably.

Governor Lamm said:

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."

The Scottish Jurist and Historian Sir Alex Fraser Tyler published a collection of lectures in 1801. He advanced a theory of democracy based on historical observation:

"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can exist only until voters discover that they can vote themselves largesses from the public treasury. From that time on, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship.

"The average age of the world's great civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; from spiritual faith to great courage; from courage to liberty; from liberty to abundance; from abundance to selfishness; from selfishness to complacency; from complacency to apathy; from apathy to dependency; from dependency back again to bondage."

So here are two noted historians saying the same thing. I concur, do you?

Our Republic is 230 years old and, IMHO, it is high time to take ourselves down a notch or two or three.

We must first make America a bilingual-bicultural country.

I spent several weeks in Florida over the winter months and another 2 weeks
in California and I got news fer y'alls - that's already done!
The good news is that current birth and immigration rates will eventually
ensure that the U.S. will eventually be a unilingual country again..

Isn't this the guy who said, "The old have a duty to die and get out of the way?"

[mollynme]

My favorite bumper sticker.

That guy also said that the US deserved 9/11 and wished for victory for the insurgents in Iraq.

The GOP is committing suicide. Lets say they get 40-45% of the Hispanic vote. Now lets say that 60 million Hispanics enter the country in the next 20 years. They just dug a 6 million vote deficit to overcome. Doesn't make sense unless that is the plan.

Lastly, I would censor Victor Davis Hanson’s 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 U.S. media and foreign policy critic.

“History shows, in my opinion, that no nation can survive the tension, conflict and antagonism of two competing languages and cultures.”

England? It seems to have survived a mess of languages and cultures, and came out ahead in the end. It was a very long slog, though.

[Impy]

Dead link.

I knew Lamm left the rats for the Reform party but I never heard of this speech. He was half sensible? RIP.
