Kai Chen's Words: This is an email from a conscientious new immigrant from China. He raised a very important question and issue. I hope all of us who love freedom and America think deeply over this issue and combat our own paralysis and fear. We have a moral duty to safeguard America and what she represents.
You have raised an interesting and thought-provoking question: Can America survive the assault from the despotic/totalitarian cultures? How should a conscientious person react to such an assault?
Yet to combat such a crowd from despotic cultures, one must prepare oneself with courage, tenacity and ability to address the issues in a succinct and effective way. As I often said: If you see only moral confusion around you, be the one with moral clarity. If you see only cowardice around you, be the one with courage. If you see only darkness around you, be the one with bright light to shine onto the path toward freedom for everyone.
"The mountain is high and the road is long, but we climb and walk a step each and every day." We don't have all the solutions, but we have a moral compass to distinguish right from wrong, truth from falsehood, justice from evil.... We live our lives by such principles. I am very glad you are doing your share to combat evil in your own way. You will preserver to fulfill your moral duty to this great country - America, to yourself and to God, as I demand myself to do every day and every moment. There is no guarantee that we will win and succeed. But as long as we have done all we can to live a just and righteous life, we will have no regret. That is enough to me and I will be at peace with myself when I die.
Though I don't know you personally, I feel you are already my companion on our journey toward freedom. I hope we keep in touch and I like very much to hear what you think about what is happening around you. Justice will ultimately triumph over evil. This is because we have faith and we have mind/reason: "Justice has only one enemy - evil. But evil has two enemies - justice and evil itself.
