A PLAN TO DESTROY AMERICA

[WA5KRP]

There's an interesting email making the rounds about a speech delivered by former Gov. Lamn of Colorado in 2004, as the nation started to fear the silent invasion of illegals. To avoid possible copyright issues, I'm using this link. (http://www.safehaven.com/article-4837.htm) The speech is somewhat paraphrased with interspersed commentary. The actual text may be found here:

Gov. Lamn eloquently puts into words what we all have sensed to one degree or another. It's a disturbing speech, one that shows a dark and sinister side to the folly of political correctness. I thought it worthwhile to share with the forum.

QUESTION -- the entire land mass of North / South America can be called AMERICA.

What do the folks in South America call their part of the continent ...or do they just go by the individual contries ( Brazil, Ecuador, Chile, Argentina, etc ) .

Aint no one gonna destroy the USA...if we wuz such a bad place, why are so many folks wanting to come here ?

If we was THAT bad, folks would be leaving in planes, boats, on foot toward Mexico / Canada.

So the USA cant be all THAT bad.

Plus why destroy us ? What do they gain in the short / long run ? Oh yea, a tad bit of "bragging rights " to their scummy friends, but nothing long lasting.

The events in middle east will quieten down in next week or so...between Israel & the others.

I have it on high authority that it will slow down a lot.

They just had a surplus of weapons at a good deal, bought them and now had to use them before they got old and dangerous to have lying around.

Yes, youo believe THAT, dont ya ?

Hey, I dont know. You may, but I do not.

We may all get nuked by the first week of August at the rate things are going.

Oh, yes. #This is from the same former governor of Colorado who once said that old people have a right and a responsibility to die. #Yes, I remember that. #That one sentence was what caused me to vote for his opponent and probably was the one thing that cost him his re-election. #

Not to mention the fact that he managed singlehandedly to revoke Denver's bid to host the 1976 Winter Olympics AFTER the International Olympic Committee had awarded the bid to Denver. #Then there was his secret desire to make Colorado the state with the highest income tax.

I wonder when "Lammie Boy" is going to take his own advice.

Not so fast. In context, Gov. Lamm was warning about using extrordinary medical means to prolong life past the point where there is any quality. His "duty to die" comment was not in reference to the elderly. In fact, this mischaracterization by the media is now used in some journalism schools as an example of how reputations are sometimes trashed by sloppy reporting.

NYT Linky (http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?sec=health&res=9E01E5D91E39F93AA15750C0A962948260) Be sure to read the Editor's comments at the bottom.

Put to a statewide vote, the voters rejected the Olympics 514,228 to 350,964. Singlehandedly? I don't think so. The majority didn't want to pay for it, didn't want the traffic and didn't want an influx of new residents.

So secret nobody heard of it?

Not everyone shares your enthusiasm for growth, Paul. Lamm never was real popular with the sheeple and always was a bit controversial. He served three elected terms here, and I'd vote for him again. All in all Colorado has had some pretty good luck with Governors and Lamm was no exception. I'm not so sure about this next round, though.

WOW!


That was quite a rebuttal, Rob!


Paul and I have met on the air. I don't always agree with his POV, and I'm pretty sure he doesn't always see eye to eye with me. But we're jake.

Paul - I really don't care about Lamn's past politics. Hell, he's a Democrat! But his speech can walk on its own two legs no matter who delivers it. His message is an important one.

Absolutely meant no disrespect for Paul -- he's a good guy and I know that. Apologies for any offense - none was intended. It's just that there's more to the story than what was presented.

As for Lamm... He's a Democrat, all right, but in a lot of ways, he's more conservative than many of the neo-con breed. Lamm is a "deep thinker" and you really have to scratch more than the surface of his positions to figure them out. The one you posted is no different.

Did you read the comments at the end of the "destroy America" link? To me, the article was pointed, but dripping with satire. Yet, about half of the respondents missed the satire part. Are we raising morons in this country or what? The "duty to die" thing was the same. Focusing on three words, most missed the entire point.

Lamm is always a good read whether one agrees or not. http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Dick Lamm will probably be viewed historically as one of Colorado's best governors. He was and is a thinker, a man who responds to issues, not to party, and in that area alone he has my absolute respect, as I, too, believe Americans should think, not parrot. Lamm will never been a parrot. He "sees," and in seeing, he tells, and he tells it precisely the way he sees it, with no agenda directed toward pleasing anyone or anything.

Once he left the Governor's Mansion, he had no further political iron to warm in the fire, and he, a bit like John McCain, was a maverick, and remains so. He had the respect of Coloradoans from both sides of the aisle, and he broadened that to Americans after he left office.

I had the personal pleasure of chatting with him over lunch, as I was taping an interview to be aired a bit later that same day. Off the record (recorder off) he was still the same - dedicated, focused, and pushing the issues. His issue of the time was a powerful one on Colorado water and energy, and he had become a noticeable "power of powers" in Western water issues. People listened.

Dottie Lamm was probably one of Colorado's most loved First Ladies, and was often considered apoliltical. She was outspoken on women's issues, especially breast cancer.

The email in question came to me a couple of years ago, too, and received my personal applause. A nation divided is no longer a nation. We are removing the "United" from our name, and substituting "Divided." In actuality we may be fairly rapidly approaching our Second Civil War, and Lamm is a person who recognizes that, though those are my words, not his.

As the new wave of immigrants overtake us (and they are) we have become not a melting pot, but a partitioning one. These are the first immigrants in the history of this country who came here to divide instead of to join. And they are succeeding. Assimilation is now a naughty word. Separatism is the immediate goal, but there are longer range ones aimed at making the Caucasian population of this country the minority, both in size and political power. This is an avowed mission.

In any other century, what we are seeing would have been viewed quite literally as an invasion, the destruction of a nation, the taking over of it by a foreign entity. Yet we are prohibited from acknowledging that, except perhaps privately, in the seclusion of our homes. And it is probably too late, as many of the major battles have already been won, and they did not go well for the United States of America.

Sounds like the "Nothings every really morally wrong" crowd and a nation without a moral anchor. If nothings wrong, then it becomes wrong to say "It's wrong". Better to be united in an imperfect belief, than divided by many claimed perfect.

[ai4ep]

"America " is just the NAME of the continent...similar to the name of your USA state / city / street / house number / etc. It is possible to destroy the building, but not a whole continent.

[WA5KRP]

My apologies to Gov. Lamm for repeatedly mispelling his name. I obviously read it incorrectly. Anyway, I hope future Texas Gov. Kinky Friedman will be equally perspicacious. He certainly has the potential.
