The advantage that the amoral, self-interested, and power hungry possess is that they don't rely on the rectitude of their cause to deliver them a well deserved victory. The evil know that they must plot, scheme, and toil for their successes, that they cannot count on Divine intervention. They already know what we must learn, accept, and memorize: we must be studious, creative, diligent, and opportunistic; we can not afford to overlook details or to pass up openings. If we win, it will be because we have earned it, not by our intentions, but by our efforts. We cannot allow the justness of our cause to lull us into complacency.

Same thing Jon Stewart said "Americans dont usually go for that" Great post. Think people. Do we want to be right or do we want to win?

Ideally, BOTH.

NO....we need to win....we already know we are right!

There's only one thing..................WIN.

Is like the LIE vs. TRUTH..

When you lie you have to remember what you lied about........the TRUTH...we know it, and you never forget it!

We have to understand that being right won't guarantee victory. Being right is what galvanizes us, but it's not enough. It isn't either/or, it's rectitude + fearlessness + cunning + tenacity + diligence + research + attention to detail + follow through + organization + pragmatic alliances + the gentle art of persuasion + outmaneuvering the competition......
