"At a Virginia rally -— 'If you’ll stand with me, then I know that we can win Virginia and we can win this election and we can finally bring the change we need to Washington,' Obama told the estimated crowd of 35,000. 'I feel like we got a righteous wind at our backs here.'”
The term "righteous wind" just isn't heard every day, but a search found it in this quote from Chairman Mao:
“The ill wind of opportunism is falling, the righteous wind of socialism is on the rise.”
But later, now former White House advisor Anita Dunn, during a speech before a large group, declared that Chairman Mao was one of her "go to" philosophers.
Perhaps there is no significance in any of these "coincidences." Then, again, perhaps there is at the very least a strong indicator of the reading material of this Administration and its supporters.
One would hope that our next President will find the extraordinary ideas of liberty to be found in the writings and speeches of America's Founders to be preferable to those expressed by Mao, Marx, Lenin, and others for whom so-called "progressives" hold such high regard.
This thread is gold. ..thanks for all the nuggets here. . .and yes, hope they are shared.
