The American Value demystified - a view from immigrants

When it comes to the immigrants, many 'Americans' may have the impression that people immigrated to the United States for the reason of the material life, which may not be totally wrong. However, that simple believe may have overlooked other attractions United States has.

In general, the Asian immigrants may have given Americans the impression that they are not fitting into the American culture very well and it may also seems that they are living in their own social circles. It may also give the impressions that they are distanced from the 'American values'.

From the surface, part of these is due to the language barriers. For many Asian immigrants, their native languages do not related to the Western Language families, and this not only presented the problems in the accent but also in the way phrases are constructed. A possible exception can be the Indian since some of them have read and wrote in English before they come to the United States.

One of the misimpression American may have about the Asian immigrants is the value of democracy, which, sometimes, may have mistaken with the patriotism. The 'American White' sometimes have the doubts about Asian immigrants patriotism, which, in my view, many times are close to the racism. As we all know there are as many 'White' immigrants in the United States too. But as far as I can tell, 'American White' have not raised the same questions about their patriotism or their Democracy believe. One of the manifest of this is the treatment of the Japanese during the World War II in the United States.

Personally, I have also encountered events while working in a whole white office here in the United States. I was assumed to not well acquainted with the 'Western' democracy and may not be patriot as should be. An event was held in the Office to go through the patriotism and the democracy. As an foreigner, of course, I do not recite the 'pledge' well.

I can't speak for other Asian immigrants. However, looking back at the event, many times, I said to myself, I don't know if they really know the Democracy or the Patriotism better than I do. My believe in Democracy stem from my reading of what happened in the Mainland China and my understanding of the Patriotism developed through the constant name calling in China/Taiwan's political environment.

Democracy is to know what can happen without Democracy while the Patriotism is not the recitation of the the 'pledge' but the believe of Democracy, which is bigger than the Patriotism.

With the 2020 United States' presidential election fraud, I have evident my believe one more time. Ms. Hima Kolanagireddy's testimony in the Michigan hearing resonant with me for a longest time. The love of the country has nothing to do with her race and has nothing to do with where she come from. But has everything to do with how she embraced the Democracy value of the United States. The patriotism is stem from the love of the Democracy value.

Today, the news on the EpochTimes.com, once again, confirmed my believe (My apology that link is in Chinese but you can copy and paste into Google translation if you like to read it yourself). Basically, a bunch of Asian/Chinese come out on the street to support Mr. Trump. The reason these Asian/ Chinese came out have nothing to do with their love for Mr. Trump, but because they love the Democracy and they see the fraud election could destroyed the Democracy they loved. Many of these men and women were not activists and, for many, this is the first time they speak out.

As I speak out many times, I am not a Trump supporter. But, on this one, I am totally with him. I hope once this is over, Mr. Trump will look back and understand that immigrants, legal or not, with adequate education, are all the supporters of the Democracy and the patriotism of the United States. On the other hand, just being White have nothing to do with the embrace of Democracy. Also just look at the media that would faithfully report all these event - the EpochTimes.com, and the New Tang Dynasty Television. They are not our traditional American Media. But they stand up.

United States is a great county with good resources. With good education and moral values, our citizen should be highly competitive and would not be afraid of competition in the jobs market.

Good material life maybe what we think is our attraction. But, don't forget the Democracy, which many immigrants are craving for.

2020 US election Fraud

Basically, I can't see anyone can come out and said that there is no fraud in the US 2020 presidential election. The issue is, however, not that if there is a fraud or not. It is we are facing it or not.

The event surrounded this year's election is really making me heart broken. Not only it made me wondering if I can trust the election again, it made me wondering if I can trust any media anymore.

The attempt of trying to downplay the hearing and president Trump's efforts is so obvious that totally out of the characters of almost all media. Even plausible testimonies are totally ignored. The attempt of trying to cover up and ignore is no better than the Communist Party of China.

The reaction of the executive branch of those States in question are also raise suspicious. When question raised, government should address questions directly. The should have take the active roles in engaging in the public hearing and seal all evidences, and even ask for audits. Instead, these government officers ignoring citizen's doubts by defining its own justification.

When facing with criminal acts, the thing to do is to preserve the evidences and allowing investigations. The facts that there is no intents in investigation or bring people to justice while accusing citizens of not providing evidences is just not a government should do. We all know who has the power to get to the bottom of the evidences. Not doing it is just the evidence of trying to cover up.

These officers continue to reiterate there isn't any wide spread fraud while not bringing anyone to justice. The question is not how wide spread the fraud is, but did they enforce the law. Besides, if you did not bring people to justice, how do you know how wide the spread is?

As to the media, I think the leak of the CNN internal meeting summarized it the best. I simply can't believe this is the America media. The NPR and PBS do not do any better. You may not like Mr. Trump, just like me, but when it comes to the heart of our democracy, there is no second thoughts.

One distinct feature in this 2020 election fraud is un-ambiguity hostile attitude against the Republican voters and observers. That raised the red flag of possible systematic frauds. If the situation is just the poll worker treat all voter badly, it may not be as suspicious. But given that almost all instances are aimed at Republicans, it is really alarming.

I also very disappointed with the US court system. The court is a place to uphold the justice and protect the democratic system. Turning down cases based on procedure should only be a means to guide cases to the right procedure and not to discourage the case. A fraud presidential election, affects all States and how is that not justified for Texas to bring up the Constitutional case.

One thing I also very disjointed is that I haven't see a Democratic come out and admit there is a possible fraud. Election fraud is much bigger than the party. Until I see some democratic show their passion about the democratic system, I shall not vote for any Democratic candidates no more.

* The Dominion is really not the issue here - yes, it could be an evidence if it turns out it is involved in dictate the result. But even if it is not, the human factor is enough to justify Mr. Trump's fight. Even if Mr. Biden has more true votes, if he is involved in the plot, he should be dis-qualified.

More American than American

Discrination: I am no Trump supporter as can be seen from my various post.

I was tracking the aftermath of the 2020 United States Election and has watched hearings held by various States' legislature body. After watching many testifies, I have trouble to believe that many States decided to take no actions.

Let's focus on just few hearing events:

• testimony by Hima Kolanagireddy
• testimony by Susan Boyd

It is very hard for me to believe that after these testimonies, those States' officers can take no action in investigate initiativing those incitances and put people involved through justice system.

As I mentioned in my previous article, the important thing is not who won. The who won issue has nothing to do with the integrity of the voting system. Just because the recount does not change the outcome it does not mean people involved in illegal act should not be punished.

It also bothers me a lot that many States involved simply refused to check the signature. Why? Without checking the signiture, you basically tell people go ahead and fake - we don't care who you are, just send in the ballot. Some States quoted the length of the legal battle as an execuse to not doing the right thing. What kind of idios is that. Are we saying time should be a factor in judging a criminal should be pardoned?

I can't believe that people do not think that there are frauds commited intentionally. We may not know the extend, but how can States officials so sure about the extend without thorough investigation.
