American Imperialist or Chinese Communist

By faith Rahab the prostitute wasn't killed with the disobedient because she welcomed the spies in peace. What more can I say? I would run out of time if I told you about Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and the prophets. (Hebrews 11:31-32 CEB)

"He may be a son of a bitch, but he's our son of a bitch."
Franklin D. Roosevelt on Nicaraguan dictator Anastasio Somoza, 32nd president of US (1882 - 1945)

"I don't care if the cat is black or white, so long as it catches mice, it is a good cat. (不管黑猫白猫,能捉到老鼠就是好猫。)"
Deng Xiaoping in a speech at the Communist Youth League conference in July 1962

Here are two quotations, one from an American imperialist, another from a Chinese communist. In this crooked world where good can be found in bad and bad can be found in good, which quotation is more in line with Biblical principle?

And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified. (Romans 8:30 ESV)
