🇺🇸 Barack Obamapolitician
"It's that spirit, a faith in reason and enterprise and the primacy of right over might, that allowed us to resist the lure of fascism and tyranny during the Great Depression; that allowed us to build a post-World War II order with other democracies, an order based not just on military power or national affiliations, but built on principles: the rule of law, human rights, freedom of religion and speech and assembly, and an independent press."
Context: Farewell Address to the Nation From Chicago, Illinois; passage on democracy/civil rights.
