ALL-CAPS?
For the love of God, man.
Ah yes.
But is it worth shouting in its entirety?
There are other ways to indicate emphasis, you know...
been happening for a while
You mean Gov. Richard "Old people have a duty to die and get out of the way" Lamm?
Sounds like he's buddies with the ACLU...
How about this method of destroying the United States?:
First, ensure that no-one within the United States knows how to speak any language other than English. Let's leave those piles of Arabic and Farsi intelligence transcripts untranslated. All American ambassadors, diplomats and intelligence agents should conduct their business exclusively in English. Tourists should, of course, speak only English, preferably VERY LOUDLY. Attempts to understand or appreciate other languages will be prosecuted; foreign language teachers will be shot. The international hatred this will produce will speedily bring attacks from foreign nations and a cessation of international trade.
Second, to destroy America, we should propound a myth of history whereby enlightened white people took possession of an empty land because God told them to make a new Israel. Suppress, ignore, distort or lampoon anyone who suggests that American Indians were killed unjustly, that black people were unhappy in slavery, or that any person of any ethnic minority has experienced discrimination or abuse. Suggest that as this is God's nation, and God's nation is perfect, any experience people have of such discrimination or abuse is their fault or their imagination. The disjunction between this myth and the day-to-day experiences of nonwhite Americans will create racial violence on an unheard of scale.
Third, we could ignore the contributions to American history of anyone descended from black people, American Indians, Indian Indians, Asians, Irish, Polish, Italians, Greeks, or in fact anyone other than English people. One non-English ancestor will suffice for exclusion. This will neatly exclude the 20th-century contributions of both Roosevelts (Dutch), Eisenhower (German), Kennedy (Irish) and Reagan (Irish). If our schoolchildren learn nothing of the achievements of these presidents, they will live in invincible ignorance of their history and the history of other nations, and there's no easier way to destroy a nation than that.
Fourth, I would overturn Brown v. Board of Education and cease all efforts to educate nonwhite people immediately. It obviously hasn't worked, they're not capable of it, and they are better off returning to whatever germ-infested rathole they came from. Well, I'll be better off anyway, and my children won't have to sit next to them and listen to them struggle. This will force America to support an ageing white population on the back of a rapidly diminishing number of workers, leading to a high-tax and low-productivity economy.
My fifth point for destroying America would be to enlist businesses and big conservative foundations in pushing for a theocratic, whites-only vision of America, grounded in a cult of Manifest Destiny. I would get poor whites to believe that their lack of success was the fault of the immigrants and the blacks. I would start organizations with silly names and costumes dedicated to preventing minorities from succeeding, and institute laws to segregate them from any occupation or neighborhood that might enable them to participate in the American Dream. After all, it worked so well last time around that we should really bring it back.
My sixth plan for America's downfall would be to forbid any expression of pride in one's ancestry that is not purely American or English (see above). St. Patrick's day, pizza and tchotchkes would all be outlawed. Instead of "E Pluribus Unum", we can have "Ex Unus Cruor, Unum" - From One Blood, One. Fallacies concerning the ancient Greeks would be compulsory reading. American consumers would be required to eat boiled cabbage, boiled potatoes and overcooked beef for every meal. The anger created by mandatory English cooking would create rebellion in every city outside Georgia, for whom it would probably be an improvement.
Next to last, I would place any discussion of racial or class divisions in today's America off-limits. Racism, sexism and classism are dead, so any expression of racist, sexist or classist opinions must really be something else - say, an obvious misunderstanding by a humorless black b*tch. There's no better way to sharpen divisions than to pretend they don't exist. I would furthermore introduce a healthy climate of informing and suspicion by requiring all patriotic Americans to report any illegal immigrants to the authorities. Once you get people in the habit of informing on the illegal activities of their neighbors, it's easy to extend it to non-immigration-related activities. We can have a file on everyone, and attain unchecked executive power - at which point "America" as we knew it will be dead.
Lastly, in the manner of Mao's Little Red Book and the novels of Saddam Hussein, I would make it compulsory to purchase, read and memorize Victor Hanson Davis's book Mexifornia. The space freed up in libraries by removing un-American books can be filled up by numberless copies of his book. His royalties will make him the richest man in America, and with luck I will get to be his Groom of the Stool.
Big Bump!
Can't we all just get along?
