A banned American flag and the "Plan To Destroy America"

Posted 15 Nov 2010 in illegal immigration, multiculturalism, outrage, political correctness, wise quotes

There’s a story in the news last week that has got many people — myself included — pretty keyed up.


School Makes Boy Take American Flag Off Bike

13-year-old Cody Alicea rides with an American flag on the back of his bike. He says he does this to be patriotic and to honor veterans, like his own grandfather, Robert. He’s had the flag on his bike for two months but Monday, was asked told to take it down.

A school official at Denair Middle School told Cody some students had been complaining about the flag and it was no longer allowed on school property.

“In this country we’re supposed to be free,” said Cody. “And I should be able to wave my flag wherever I want to. And they’re telling me I can’t.”

Cody’s grandfather says the school was concerned about racial tensions or uprisings because of the flag. He feels if there was really a problem it should have been brought up two months ago, not during Veterans week.

Of course, this happened in California. Just like it did back in May, when students were kicked off campus for wearing American flag shirts during Cinco De Mayo.

Someone please remind me what country we live in. How is it that Old Glory could cause “racial tensions or uprisings” here in America?! How can we have fallen so far as a nation, that we have educators who bully a child for the “crime” of flying an American flag, for fear of offending illegal immigrants?

The answer is simple. America is disintegrating as a nation, according to plan.

The following is an excellent speech about the perils of multiculturalism, entitled “I Have A Plan To Destroy America,” written by former Colorado governor Richard Lamm.

I have a secret plan to destroy America. If you believe, as many do, that America is too smug, too white bread, too self-satisfied, too rich, let’s destroy America. It is not that hard to do. History shows that nations are more fragile than their citizens think. No nation in history has survived the ravages of time. 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.” Here is my plan:
  1. We must first make America a bilingual-bicultural country. History shows, in my opinion, that no nation can survive the tension, conflict, and antagonism of two competing languages and cultures. It is a blessing for an individual to be bilingual; it is a curse for a society to be bilingual. One scholar, Seymour Martin Lipset, put it this way:
    the histories of bilingual and bicultural 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 its Basques, Bretons, and Corsicans.

  2. I would then invent “multiculturalism” and encourage immigrants to maintain their own culture. I would make it an article of belief that all cultures are equal: that there are no cultural differences that are important. I would declare it an article of faith that the black and Hispanic dropout rate is only due to prejudice and discrimination by the majority. Every other explanation is out-of-bounds.

  3. We can 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.

    I would encourage all immigrants to keep their own language and culture. I would replace the melting pot metaphor with a salad bowl metaphor. It is important to insure that we have various cultural sub-groups living in America reinforcing their differences rather than Americans, emphasizing their similarities.

  4. Having done all this, 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% drop out rate from school.

  5. I would then get the big foundations and big 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 all the fault of the majority – i would start a grievance industry blaming all minority failure on the majority population.

  6. I would establish dual citizenship and promote divided loyalties. I would “celebrate diversity.” “diversity” is a wonderfully seductive word. It stresses differences rather than commonalities. 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, and we can take advantage of this myopia. Look at the ancient Greeks. Dorf’s World History tells us:
    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 in honor of Zeus and all Greeks venerated the shrine of Apollo at Delphi. A common enemy, Persia, threatened their liberty. Yet, all of these bonds together were not strong enough to overcome two factors . . . (local patriotism and geographical conditions that nurtured political divisions . . .)

    If we can put the emphasis on the “pluribus,” instead of the “unum,” we can balkanize America as surely as Kosovo.

  7. Then I would place all these subjects off limits – make it taboo to talk about. I would find a word similar to “heretic” in the 16th century – that stopped discussion and paralyzed thinking. Words like “racist”, “xenophobe” that halts argument and conversation.

    Having made America a bilingual-bicultural country, having established multiculturalism, 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.

  8. 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 US media and foreign policy critic.

If I didn’t know better, I’d think Lamm’s sarcastic plan was taken straight from the Democrat Party, who earnestly push for each misguided provision listed above.

The motto on the Seal of the United States is E pluribus unum, which is Latin for “Out of many, one.” It is the view that all those who come to America become a part of the fabric of this nation by assimilating, not by keeping separate from the whole. Multiculturalism tears apart that interconnection, prioritizing differences over similarities. And when we have people who are afraid to fly the flag of this great nation because it might offend a certain demographic of illegal immigrants, it is indicative of a much larger problem. It’s a problem because those in power are not only subverting American unity, they’re actively pushing to achieve the exact opposite.

Sadly, this is not a new problem.

In 1883, before he became president, Theodore Roosevelt gave a speech about the duties of American citizenship, and he specified the need for unity in America. It’s a pretty long speech, but here’s the money quote:

“A man has got to be an American and nothing else; and he has no business to be mixing us up with questions of foreign politics, British or Irish, German or French, and no business to try to perpetuate their language and customs in the land of complete religious toleration and equality. If, however, he does become honestly and in good faith an American, then he is entitled to stand precisely as all other Americans stand, and it is the height of un-Americanism to discriminate against him in any way because of creed or birthplace.”

In 1919, after his time in the Oval Office, Roosevelt penned a letter to the president of the American Defense Society. You may be more familiar with this passage, as it has been widely circulated.

“In the first place we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the man’s becoming in very fact an American, and nothing but an American…There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn’t an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile…We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language…and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.”

Roosevelt advocated the compulsory learning of English by every naturalized citizen. “Every immigrant who comes here should be required within five years to learn English or to leave the country,” he said in a statement to the Kansas City Star in 1918. “English should be the only language taught or used in the public schools.”

Roosevelt probably couldn’t even imagine a day when not only is English optional, but flying our nation’s flag has become a polarizing issue.

How sad that even after 100 years, not only have we NOT achieved American unity, we have a significant portion of our population that is committed to the exact opposite: multiculturalism.

UPDATE: The idiots in Denair have backed down now that their anti-American stance has been exposed.

Denair Unified School District Superintendent Edward Parraz said he got calls from halfway around the world about the flag; even some soldiers in Afghanistan called to complain.

“This American flag, you’re not going to win in attacking the American flag. It’s just not going to happen,” Parraz said.

The story has gained national attention, from Rush Limbaugh to the Drudge Report.

A group of Stanislaus County mothers said they plan on walking their children to school Monday with flags in hand to show their support.

State Sen. Jeff Denham, R-Merced, said in a written statement Friday that the school’s original decision was “anti-veteran.”

“Many American men and women have given their lives to defend our right to fly the flag — Cody should have that right, too,” Denham, who was just elected to Congress, said in a written statement.

Kirk Layton, of the American Legion, confirmed Sunday afternoon that 500 motorcycles, along with an unknown number of Tea Party members, will escort the 13-year-old to school on Monday.

I’d love to see Denair Superintendent Ed Parraz try to tell the bikers not to fly the American flag!
