Chinese AMERICANS LOVE TRUMP!

My name is David Tian Wang. I am honored to be here today. Thank you for 
being here, Chairman Priebus, Secretary Chao and honored guests and donors 
for this great opportunity.

I was born in China and immigrated to the United States in 1999. I have 
learned to love my adopted country and treasure American values. And that is
why I started the Chinese Americans for Trump movement.

CAFT, the Chinese Americans for Trump movement, is a group of over 5,000 
Chinese Americans from across the United States of America. We come from all
walks of life, diverse in age and professions. We have organized voter 
outreach programs, canvassing, rallying and fundraising for Mr. Trump's 
campaign in over 28 different states. The youngest in our group is barely 18
; the oldest, 84.

What brought us together is the belief in Mr. Donald J. Trump's vision for 
America.

WE believes that Hillary Clinton represents the old, broken Washington 
plagued with corruption and gridlock. Mrs. Clinton has been in Washington 
since 1992 and was an integral part of that broken system. The national debt
grew by more than $9 Trillion, nearly doubling, under Barack Obama. Yet, 
median income for American households fell by $1,700 per year under Obama. 
American families are suffering and Mrs. Clinton was part of the failed 
policies that caused it.

A vote for Donald Trump, on the other hand, is a vote for real change that 
can bring back the core values of America, which made our nation the most 
powerful and prosperous country in the world.

WE believes that under Obama, America has lost the spirit that helped put 
American astronauts on the moon and made America the world leader. To us, 
the slogan "Make America Great Again" is about instilling the Can-Do 
attitude in Americans. It is about inspiring American kids to take an 
interest in science and technology, to dream big, and to work hard. It is 
about giving American families hope for a better future.

We believe that college admission should be merit-based. Affirmative Action 
(AA) based on ethnicity is currently implemented by many states and schools,
but it has failed the students it is supposed to help. According to studies
, about 70% of students admitted through AA could not graduate after 5 years
in college. Bills such as SCA5 or AB1726 are simply Wrong.

While the goal should be a purely merit-based system, we are not completely 
opposed to AA as an interim solution. If a state or school insists on AA, 
they should shift toward giving preferential treatment and resources based 
on students' household income, instead of based solely on skin color or 
ethnicity. That way, low-income families regardless of ethnicity get the 
help.

To help kids from low-income neighborhoods better prepare for college, we 
are proposing boarding charter schools that provide a safe, nurturing and 
immersive learning environment during weeknights. More funds will be needed 
for these schools than regular charter schools. We intend to work with non-
profit foundations and large corporations to secure funding.

We believe Mr. Trump's skill in making deals will be conducive to finding 
mutually beneficial solutions when dealing with foreign countries, including
China. We believe fair trade with China is possible and achievable. On 
issues like North Korea, Taiwan and the South China Sea, facilitating 
dialogue between the parties involved will be advantageous to maintaining 
the peace in those regions. We are Americans first and foremost, and we are 
fully willing to help build those bridges.

We will fight for America in the upcoming election and beyond, so that this 
great nation, the land of the free, will prosper and provide opportunities 
for our children and grandchildren as she did for us.

We will fight indefinitely for the Chinese American Core Values and the 
Conservative Value of the GOP.

We will fight for Mr. Trump's vision for America: to bring back a time when
Americans were able to dream big and do great things; when Americans dared 
to go to the moon and reach for the stars; when Americans were hopeful about
their future, not hopeless like many families are today.

Together with Mr. Donald J Trump, our next president of the United States of
America, and with all the fellow Asian Americans, joined together.

We will not go into the night without a fight.

TO MAKE AMERICA SAFE AGAIN!

TO MAKE AMERICA WORK AGAIN

TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!

GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!

扒一扒民主党的理论基础,什么是liberal,什么是progressive

标  题: 扒一扒民主党的理论基础,什么是liberal,什么是progressive

很多华人不关心政治,搞不懂政治派别,搞不懂什么叫左,什么叫右。例如很多人以为
共和党的核心价值观就是信教,反堕胎,反同性。甚至有人觉得保守派就是反动派,你
看,历史总是朝着更加liberal的方向前进的,共和党保守派不是开历史的倒车吗?这
当然和中国的教育和美国媒体的宣传有关,但是也反映了大部分中国人对政治的无知。
如果连什么是保守主义是怎样一种意识形态都不知道,是没有办法理解什么共和党的核
心价值观的。当然今天我们主要不说保守主义,希望了解保守主义的朋友可以去看《罗
辑思维》关于保守主义的一集,罗胖子讲的深入浅出,老少咸宜。

今天我们来讲讲民主党的核心价值观,也是一种意识形态,liberalism,叫做自由主义
。自由主义顾名思义,就是希望人民受到的约束越少越好。这个约束可以来自宗教,可
以来自政府或者社会的压力,例如120年前女人不能穿长裤,60年前黑人不能和白人同
校,这就是约束;那么自由主义者的核心理念就是要去掉这些约束。自由主义者的代表
,以前的黑人民权运动,嬉皮士,现在的占领华尔街,BLM,都是通过反政府,反权威
来达到目的,因为自由主义者天生就讨厌政府,他们的最高追求就是无政府主义。

但是民主党显然不是以无政府主义为目标,民主党讲究的是大政府;这里就必须要提到
一种变了味的自由主义,叫做Progressivism,中文叫做进步主义。进步主义者的理念
就是社会必须进步,而政府的职责就是推动这种进步,听起来很不错吧,所以liberal
们理所当然的支持progressive,甚至把两者混为一谈。但是进步主义有两个本质问题:
1.    进步主义者认为的社会进步分方向只是他们自己的判断,是一种预测,没有人知
道是否正确
2.    中国有句古话叫拔苗助长,社会的进步有他自己的步调,强行去推动它不一定是
一件好事,也许它还没有ready也说不定

中国人应该还记得,中国现代史上最大的浩劫,就是进步主义带来的:"苏联上午挂出
共产主义的牌子,我们下午就挂出来",听着耳熟吗?在那个年代,国家领导人不顾社
会经济现状,强行推广他们自己认为的更加"先进"的制度,最后的结果大家都很清楚
了。

现在美国的progressive代表人物就是民主党的奥巴马,他的大方向就是用政策来推动
他自己认为的所谓"政治正确"的agenda,例如为了照顾西裔黑人而限制亚裔入学,为
了照顾黑人而限制警察执法,为了照顾穆斯林而限制基督教;所以说progressive虽然
披着liberal的外皮,其实本质上早已偏离了liberal,他给大家带来的是更多的约束而
不是自由。

从意识形态上跟Progressive针锋相对的正是Conservative,保守主义。保守主义者尊
重社会经济发展的自然规律,反对强行用政策去干涉它们。典型的例子就是奥巴马认为
,社会要进步,同性恋和变性人应该得到更多的宽容,所以我们现在就发布总统令,规
定全国人民自己随便选厕所进。而保守主义者则认为,虽然社会进步的方向是对的,但
是我们现在还不适应啊,应该让社会慢慢发展,将来有一天男女同厕已经没问题了,同
性恋,变性人自然也没问题了不是?这就是两者的区别,Progressive更加注重理想而
conservative关心的是现实,是common sense。

所以美国历史上两党的斗争可以理解为Progressive和Conservative这两种意识形态的
斗争。这两种意识形态各有自己的积极和消极意义,如果保守派当权太久,社会进步也
许受影响,但是进步派上来太久,难免会"步子太大,小心扯着蛋"。这里美国制度的
优越性就出来了,两党轮流执政,在历史上一次次的把美国从极左极右拉回正轨。2016
年,这个制度是否还能像以前那样好用,我们拭目以待。
