Hootie...

It was going to be a family thing, my wife and daughter, with some friends from work, but the weather prevented us, so we all did not go.

It is only me that thinks that Mary Hart is looking very plastic? Sort of like Joan Rivers? That she has been tuck, sucked and stuck one too many times? I remember that a few years ago, she looked very nice, but the more I watch the show now, the more that she looks plastic…

This week...
We will be attending Hootie and The Blowfish concert at Inslake Pavilion on Wednesday. It is like the Woodlands in Houston, only not as big as that concert site. It should be a great show, weather permitting. I also hope to have some info about my interview this week or next week. I am hoping for the best, but preparing for the worst. That is am old Russian proverb. Frontline Assemble had that in a song called Provision. Well I will post later this week about some more stuff.

Dear BLOG,

You know how it seams that everything you try to do is not good enough? Well, I feel like that here in Richmond. My interview went well, but I wont know anything for about 2 weeks. And "Time passes slowly for a man who waits." Richmond is the hardest job market that I have ever been. It is very clickish and if you are south of the river, that is bad, even though the house might cost the same as if you were north and west of the river. IT is a very tough market to get employment it. I have never had a problem getting a job across the country, but here it is very hard. I am very discouraged and upset by this. It is difficult to keep your chin up as they say, or "something will come your way" Well, I am still waiting...

well, tomorrow, I interview for a perm position with Wachovia @ 10am EST. Wish me luck. I am a bit nervous about the interview as I know not much about the job. It is dealing with Margin Calls on credit of purchasing securities. That was a mouth full!!!

More tomorrow.

Mexifornia and The United States Of Americo...


My gradfather Cowboy Stringer emailed me this speech. i am posting it now for all to read if they so choose.

We know Dick Lamm as the former Governor of Colorado. In thatcontext his thoughts are particularly poignant. Last week there was animmigration overpopulation conference in Washington, DC, filled tocapacity by many of American's finest minds and leaders. A brilliantcollege professor by the name of Victor Hansen Davis talked about hislatest book, Mexifornia," explaining how immigration - both legal andillegal - was destroying the entire state of California. He said itwould march across the country until it destroyed all vestiges of TheAmerican Dream.
Moments later, former Colorado Governor Richard D. Lamm stood upand gave a stunning speech on how to destroy America. The audiencesat spellbound as he described eight methods for the destruction ofthe United States. He said, "If you believe that America is too smug,too self-satisfied, too rich, then let's destroy America. It is notthat hard to do. No nation in history has survived the ravages oftime. Arnold Toynbee observed that all great civilizations rise and falland that 'An autopsy of history would show that all great nations commit suicide.'"
Here is how they do it," Lamm said:

"First, to destroy America, turn America into a bilingual ormulti-lingual and bicultural country." History shows that nonation can survive the tension, conflict, and antagonism of two or morecompeting languages and cultures. It is a blessing for anindividual to be bilingual; however, it is a curse for a society to bebilingual. The historical scholar, Seymour Lipset, put it this way: "Thehistories of bilingual and bi-cultural societies that do notassimilate are histories of turmoil, tension, and tragedy."Canada, Belgium, Malaysia, and Lebanon all face crises of nationalexistence 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 makeit an article of belief that all cultures are equal. That there are nocultural differences. I would make it an article of faith thatthe Black and Hispanic dropout rates are due solely to prejudice anddiscrimination by the majority. Every other explanation is out of bounds.

Third, "We could make the United States an 'Hispanic Quebec'without much effort. The key is to celebrate diversity rather than unity.As Benjamin Schwarz said in the Atlantic Monthly recently: "Theapparent success of our own multiethnic and multicultural experiment mighthave been achieved not by tolerance but by hegemony. Without thedominance that once dictated ethnocentricity and what it meant to be anAmerican, we are left with only tolerance and pluralism to holdus together." Lamm said, "I would encourage all immigrants to keeptheir own language and culture. I would replace the melting potmetaphor with the salad bowl metaphor. It is important to ensure that wehave various cultural subgroups living in America enforcing theirdifferences rather than as Americans, emphasizing their similarities."

"Fourth, I would make our fastest growing demographic group theleast educated. I would add a second underclass, unassimilated,undereducated, and antagonistic to our population. I would havethis second underclass have a 50% dropout rate from high. school."

"My fifth point for destroying America would be to get bigfoundations and business to give these efforts lots of money. I would investin ethnic identity, and I would establish the cult of 'Victimology.'I would get all minorities to think that their lack of success wasthe fault of the majority. I would start a grievance industry blamingall minority failure on the majority population."

"My sixth plan for America's downfall would include dualcitizenship, and promote divided loyalties. I would celebrate diversity overunity. I would stress differences rather than similarities. Diversepeople worldwide are mostly engaged in hating each other - that is, whenthey are not killing each other. A diverse, peaceful, or stablesociety is against most historical precedent. People undervalue the unity ittakes to keep a nation together. Look at the ancient Greeks. TheGreeks believed that they belonged to the same race; theypossessed a common language and literature; and they worshipped the samegods. All Greece took part in the Olympic games. A common enemy, Persia,threatened the ir liberty. Yet all these bonds were not strongenough to overcome two factors: local patriotism and geographicalconditions that nurtured political divisions. Greece fell. "E. Pluribus Unum"From many, one. In that historical reality, if we put the emphasison the 'pluribus'. Instead of the 'Unum,' we will balkanize Americaas surely as Kosovo."

"Next to last, I would place all subjects off limits; make ittaboo to talk about anything against the cult of 'diversity.' I would finda word similar to 'heretic' in the 16th century - that stoppeddiscussion and paralyzed thinking. Words like 'racist' or'xenophobe' halt discussion and debate. Having made America abilingual/bicultural country, having established multi-culturism, having the largefoundations fund the doctrine of 'Victimology,' I would next makeit impossible to enforce our immigration laws. I would develop amantra: That because immigration has been good for America, it must alwaysbe good. I would make every individual immigrant symmetric and ignorethe cumulative impact of millions of them."
In the last minute of his speech, Governor Lamm wiped his brow.Profound silence followed.

Finally he said,. "Lastly, I wouldcensor Victor Hanson Davis's book Mexifornia. His book is dangerous. Itexposes the plan to destroy America. If you feel America.deserves to be destroyed, don't read that book.".
There was no applause. A chilling fear quietly rose like anominous cloud above every attendee at the conference. Every American inthat room knew that everything Lamm enumerated was proceedingmethodically, quietly, darkly, yet pervasively across the United States today.Discussion is being suppressed. Over 100 languages are rippingthe foundation of our educational system and national cohesiveness.Even barbaric cultures that practice female genital mutilati on aregrowing as we celebrate 'diversity.' American jobs are vanishing into theThird World as corporations create a Third World in. America -take note of California and other states - to date, ten millionillegal aliens and growing fast. It is reminiscent of George Orwell's book"1984." In that story, three slogans are engraved in the Ministryof Truth building: "War is peace," "Freedom is slavery," and "Ignorance is strength.".

Governor Lamm walked back to his seat. It dawned on everyone atthe conference that our nation and the future of this great democracy isdeeply in trouble and worsening fast. If we don't get this immigrationmonster stopped within three years, it will rage like a Californiawildfire and destroy everything in its path, especially The American Dream.
