YouTube: Rubio’s Saturday Republican Response

 Marco Rubio recently won the Senate race in Florida.  In a 3-way race he received 50% of the votes.  The Democrats worked hard to defeat him.  After you hear him speak you’ll understand why  he is a conservative/Tea Party favorite.

Rubio is the 39-year-old son of immigrants who fled Cuba after Fidel Castro took over that country and imposed a communist regime there. He was born in Miami and raised there and in Las Vegas, graduating from South Miami High School. He later graduated from the University of Florida and the University of Miami law school.

“See, I was not born to a wealthy or connected family,” Rubio told the Conservative Political Action Conference on Feb. 18 of this year. “And yet I have never felt limited by the circumstances of my birth. I have never once felt that there was something I couldn't do because of who my parents were or weren't. Now, why is it that I've been able to accomplish the things that my grandfather could not? Why did my dreams have the chance that his didn't?

“The answer is simple. Because I am privileged,” said Rubio. “I am privileged to be a citizen of the single greatest society in all of human history. There's never been a nation like the United States, ever. It begins with the principles of our founding documents, principles that recognize that our rights come from God, not from our government principles that recognize that because all of us are equal in the eyes of our Creator, all life is sacred at every stage of life.

“These principles embody the commitment to individual liberty which has made us the freest people in history,” said Rubio. “They also made possible our free-enterprise economy, which has made us the most prosperous people in history. The result is an America where--which is the only place in the world where it doesn't matter who your parents were or where you came from. You can be anything you are willing to work hard to be. The result is the only economy in the world where poor people with a better idea and a strong work ethic can compete and succeed against rich people in the marketplace and competition. And the result is the most reliable defender of freedom in the history of the world.

“Simply put, there's nothing like America in all the world,” said Rubio.

Have you ever heard Barack Obama say anything close to that?  Proud of America.

In his acceptance speech Rubio said the following:

I know America's great, not because I read about it in a book, but because I've seen it with my eyes.  I've been raised in a community of exiles, of people who lost their country, of people who know what it's like to live somewhere else.  By the way, a community that I am proud to be a part of.  A community of men and women that were once my age, and when they were they had dreams like we have now, and yet they lost all those things through an accident of history.  No matter where I go or what title I may achieve, I will always be the son of exiles.

YouTube:  Rubio’s acceptance speech:

Rubio is a pro-life, pro-free-market, limited-government conservative. He won 55% of the Latino vote in the process, according to the network television exit poll conducted by Edison Research.

He isn’t afraid to call the Republican Party to task.  YouTube of The Weekly GOP Address:

Rubio is a young conservative that all of America can be proud of.  It’s easy to see why he has Tea Party support.  He is proud of America and wants to make her strong.  Something Obama and the Democrats don’t want.
