告诉你是爱国还是不爱国。批评本身只是一个中性词而已。
但是如果你对政府的批评言论触犯美国基本价值观和宪法，没有人认为你是爱国的。再
者，如果你的批评，只是毫无见识和担当，目光短浅，为了一己眼前私利的胡喷，即使
不违法，那也会遭到有识之士的鄙视，更算不得爱国。
美国这个国家实质上资本寡头操控的。政府和政党只是资本的玩偶。你作为一个小民百

人在意；如果你是一个马云式的大人物，对此居高声远地进行深揭猛批，自会有人干涉
和封杀你，甚至会为此丢掉性命也未可知。
五六十年代，美国有些摇滚歌星只因唱歌就被冠以共产党的罪名而遭到迫害甚至致死。
马丁路德金因批评政府而死于非命，就算平反了，也无人称之为爱国主义者，至多说他
是黑人民权斗士。华尔街的流浪汉如果批评特朗普愚蠢，只会遭到哄堂大笑，没人表扬
他爱国。
政府做好自己的事情，维持好秩序，促进经济发展，让民众过上更富足更有尊严的生活

止它们利用公权作恶，这才是爱政府爱国家的表现。 | L**********g

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. – American Patriot
Today, we take time to reflect upon the accomplishments of Dr. Martin Luther
King, Jr., a true patriot who led the civil rights movement in the mid-
1950s until his assassination in 1968. He was the epitome of peaceful
protests, calling for the equal treatment of all people, regardless of their
race.
It was during a time of segregation, unfair hiring practices, and other
injustices for black Americans. In August 1963, Dr. King played a major role
in the March on Washington, where approximately 200,000 people, black and
white, gathered for a peaceful political rally. The event was intended to
bring attention to the rights of black Americans.
[Martin Luther King, Jr. March on Washington]
With intense racial tension throughout the country, Dr. King stood at the
steps of the Lincoln Memorial and shared his dream for the future that, “
this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: ‘We
hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.'” (
History.com, 2009). It was part of his ‘I have a dream’ speech – one that
would become synonymous with Dr. Martin Luther King himself.
The Civil Rights Act was passed in 1964, ending segregation in public places
and prohibiting employment discrimination. Eventually the Act paved the way
for voting rights for all citizens, regardless of their race, sex, or
nationality. Dr. King received the Nobel Peace Prize and was named Time
magazine’s, ‘Man of the Year.’
Unfortunately, today there are more heightened levels of racial tensions,
accompanied by violent protests and riots. However, we honor Dr. King for
his key role and success in ending division and segregation throughout
America with peaceful demonstrations, and recognize his passion to unite all
Americans. It was his dream for future generations to live in unity with
equal opportunities and treatment, and without discrimination and
segregation – we have come a long way, but we still need to improve.
