Obama Cabinet Member Praises Mao Tse Tung

[azlan88]

Obama has appointed many controversial people to himself, from the 9/11 Truther Van Jones to The Science Czar, who wants to sterilize women and make obortions mandatory, and not to mention the guy who wants animals to have lawers, as well as Kevin Jennings, who, when confronted with a boy who said he was feeling suicidal after having a sexual relationship with a teacher, said as his only point of advice to the boy, "Did you wear a condom?"
Allegations that Obama has been hanging around such people his whole life, and that he is confortable around these people, have been dismissed by some as mere coincidences, even as another radical is appointed, Anita Dunn, the new communications director. Dunn said that her favorite political philosophers are "Mao Tse Tung and Mother Theresa." Clearly using Mother Theresa to water down her admiration for Mao, she seemed able to fool the high school students who she addressed in her speech. Dunn said that these two people are the ones whom she turned to most, and she quoted Mao with much admiration and an air of respect, failing to mention that he killed 70 million of his own people in a violent bloodbath.
Dunn has been defended as having been "joking" that Mao was her favorite philosopher, but she mentioned Mao and Mother Theresa within the same breath, and quoted both of them together. Was she joking about Mother Theresa as well? She even went into a detailed and completely serious explanation of why she holds both Mao and Mother Teresa in high regard in the context of perseverance and choosing one’s own path.

i have read that elsewhere, as a friend of mine who's not a christain to my knowledge, but was raised catholic. said that many of those that obama has surrounded himself with are kooks!

i cant find anything good to say about mao that cause me to admire his philosophy, imagine if she had said hitler. mao killed more than he did, and so did stalin.

yet i have heard fellow soldiers talk about how their college professors admired stalin!

Prayer is something strongly needed, and much encouraged if we are indeed to continue to have pro-abortionists forcing their views upon others. Freedom of choice, speech, and the like....is why America is what it is. Shame that such a blind eye has been turned towards that and the battles fought just for those same freedoms and rights today.

Here is another article written by Dr. Paul Kengor

The Philosophy of Mao and Mother Teresa?

by Dr. Paul Kengor
Friday, October 23, 2009

"[T]he death of ten to twenty million people is nothing to be afraid of." -Mao Tse-tung

"Human rights are not a privilege conferred by government. They are every human being's entitlement by virtue of his humanity. The right to life does not depend ... on the pleasure of anyone else." -Mother Teresa

I recently wrote about the spectacle of New York's tallest building aglow in red and yellow to commemorate the founding of Mao Tse-tung's People's Republic of China. Oblivious New Yorkers basked in the glow of a leader and nation that killed more people more quickly than any leader or nation in history. Within its first two decades, Mao's Red China annihilated 60-70 million people, exceeding the combined death toll of World War I and II.

As I said, I'm not surprised by such horrible historical ignorance. This is what our education system, from K-12 to universities, has taught-or failed to teach. Besides, Mao was idolized by many of the '60s leftists who today pervade our culture and politics.

Well, behold another painful exhibit: President Obama's director of communications, Anita Dunn.

Speaking on June 5 at a high-school graduation ceremony at the National Cathedral, Dunn provided the youngsters with some nuggets of wisdom. She cited "two of my favorite political philosophers: Mao Tse-tung and Mother Teresa."

I know that seems unbelievable. Yet, thanks to the advent of FOXNews, talk-radio, and the web, these things are no longer easily censored by the partisan mainstream media. You can look them up yourself. (Click here to watch .)

Specifically, Dunn's comments were exposed by Glenn Beck on Fox. In response, liberals are attacking not Dunn but Beck. (See this article by CNN.[click link below] ) This is sadly predictable, as it has always been anti-communism (watch my lecture here[click link below] ) that upsets liberals.

It's maddening to have watched the children of the '60s openly embrace Chairman Mao-some for 40 years now -and then, on a dime, cry foul (with the media's backing [click link below]) when criticized. But so be it.

Dunn has since tried to argue that she was using "irony." Even more lamely, she claims to have borrowed from a comparison she heard from late Republican political strategist Lee Atwater.

In fact, if you actually watch and read Dunn's remarks-CNN didn't quote them in full-you'll see she was not being ironic. She was dead serious, going into precise detail on how Mao inspired her.

Almost as if she were describing a political squabble within the Democratic or Republican Party, Dunn spoke of "when Mao Tse-tung was being challenged within his own party on his plan to basically take China over." She added, "Chiang Kai-Shek and the nationalist Chinese held the cities, they had the army. They had the air force. They had everything on their side, and people said [to Mao], 'How can you win? How can you do this?'"

Therein was the core message in Dunn's parable: Inspiring the youngsters with the tale of Mao's triumph, Dunn said: "Against all the odds ... Mao Tse-tung said, 'You fight your war, and I'll fight mine.'"

Dunn told the graduates to "think about that for a second." As they so meditated, she prodded with this insight: Dunn told the teens that they "don't have to accept" others' definitions. They should not accept "external definitions." No, she told them, standing aside a crucifix, they must set their own definitions. "It is about your choices," Dunn instructed. "You figure out what's right for you."

She told the youngsters to establish their own definitions of what's right and wrong in following their own path.

To be sure, this was indeed Mao Tse-tung's philosophy: Right and wrong is not left to a single, universal authority-to a Supreme Being-but to oneself. Each and every human being is his or her own moral arbiter. This explains how Mao killed so many people without bothering his conscience. The Marxist-atheist created his own definitions. He decided it was right to let all those people die in order for him to follow his own path, according to his own definitions.

Of course, Anita Dunn obviously doesn't support killing 60-70 million people. But she does support a morally relativistic philosophy that is hurtful enough on its own. That philosophy, taken to its logical conclusion, allows for the kind of reckless madness advocated by Mao. This is a philosophy that, left to the wrong people-to evil people like Mao-can be extremely dangerous.

This is why moral relativism doesn't work, why it is nonsense, and why even its purported advocates rarely support it. (For a great book, see Greg Koukl's "Relativism: Feet Firmly Planted in Mid-Air." ) And it is why our schools shouldn't be inviting graduation speakers to deliver such inane messages to wide-eyed youngsters preparing to enter the world.

Alas, needless to say, none of this, from the moral relativism to Maoism, would have found approval from Mother Teresa. As the saintly nun from Calcutta put it, "There is only one God and He is God to all." We are not our own gods. There are external definitions of right and wrong-set by God, not by ourselves.

That was Mother Teresa's philosophy, and it wasn't Mao's.

When is America going to start equipping its youth with truth, both historical and moral? For now, we'll continue to reap what we've sown.

What I found funny was that she is the director of communications yet claims that it was a joke! Most communicators, well at least good ones, tend to ensure others realize it is a joke at the time it is said. My viewpoint is that she is an adamant Mao supporter and is only reflecting the true light of the USA administration.
