梁愛詩的愛國愛港論-----與山中唱一齣戲

山中今日這篇叫 梁愛詩、劉慧卿「雙語」對話 的文,是我寫這篇的誘因。

山中這篇文第二段這樣講:

梁愛詩說「雙語」其實不甚高明,很容易爲人識破。好像她說香港特首「愛國愛港是必然的事,部分人需自己反省,為何一字咁淺的事,(中央)也要講出來?」,但又言愛國愛港,不對抗中央,「不能寫在法律上,指若將愛國愛港寫在法律上是違反《基本法》,因《基本法》指明法律面前人人平等」。既然法律面前人人平等,那就是説不愛國不愛港的人也可以參選特首,那麽愛國愛港又怎麽可能是必然的事呢?

愛國愛港不能寫在法律上,並非因為這樣做違反《基本法》及因《基本法》指明法律面前人人平等這原因,而是「愛」只是一個抽象、難以客觀衡量的態度,也沒有一定準則,寫進法律也不能具體量度,這才是不能寫進去的原因。舉實例來講,曾蔭權湯顯明愛國愛港嗎?如果你問他們,他們必定指天地涕泣,幾乎連心肝也要掏出來,以示忠貞。可是,他們實質卻在玩忽職守,陽奉陰違。相反而言,要求平反六四,要求調查李旺陽死因的人,同樣是愛國愛港,只是標準不同,故此根本就無可能立法。唯一具體的愛,只有一種,就是實際去做那一種。

愛港及不對抗中央,在法律上可以講寫了進去。不信標少所講?你自己看。

行政長官的誓言

本人 ,謹此宣誓:本人就任中華人民共和國香港特別行政區行政長官,定當擁護《中華人民共和國香港特別行政區基本法》,效忠中華人民共和國香港特別行政區,盡忠職守,遵守法律,廉潔奉公,為香港特別行政區服務,對中華人民共和國中央人民政府和香港特別行政區負責。
(宣誓人姓名)
(香港法例第11章《宣誓及聲明條例》附表2第I部)

要宣誓效忠香港特別行政區,便是愛港,對中華人民共和國中央人民政府負責,便是不對抗。梁愛詩是前律政司長,她的法律知識豈不是連標少也不如!要保皇也要補習一下法律常識,否則便貽笑大方。

    說愛國愛港,就算是安倍晉三也可以信誓旦旦的誇誇其談,他們又可以用什麽標準說某某不愛國呢?我們也可以用文化大革命、大躍進等事指證毛澤東不愛國。另一個更好的問題是,趙紫陽愛不愛國?

  2. Thanks for the link.

    Use "love" as a qualifier to decide eligibility is doomed to be a failure. It is by nature a sentimental word instead of rational. The candidate should only be asked to bear allegiance to China and HKSAR and execute his/her duty to the best of his/her ability. "Love" is so intangible and vague and should not have any part to play in the culling process. Look at the oath of the US president when taking office,

    "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

    It would be awkward if a person overtly pronounces that he does not love his country and yet chosen as the President or in our case, the Chief Executive. Equally, it would be ludicrous if the candidate only spells out empty words devoid of substance and he gets the entry ticket. There are many such tee shirts sold in Tsimshatsui "I love HK". Like we agreed before, the less said the better. It is always the best tactics. But, the fools on both sides just do not appreciate.

    1. Thus the best response is for the candidates to wear those "I love country and HK" t-shirts and be done with it. How can anyone says they do not love the country and HK while they wear it on their skins? To make the case even stronger, they can perhaps tattoo 「精忠報國」on their backs.

      Besides, there is a huge different between patriotism and nationalism. It is patriotic to question all the affairs occurring within and without a country; it is nationalistic to blindly follow what the authority is saying without giving any thoughts.

      Legally speaking, no state can demand anyone to love his/her country unequivocally, since most people are born into a country without a choice. If one is a citizen by birth, the state does not ask him to swear allegiance to the country; that only happens to immigrants. By that standard, immigrants are more patriotic since they chose to live there and swore an allegiance.

    2. Truly so. Most people cannot tell the difference between patriotism and nationalism. It is often the case of the blind leads the blind. The tatoo is not on the back. It is on the forehead.
