Marco Rubio's Acceptance Speech

If you have not had a chance to hear Marco Rubio's remarks from election night, here they are.

In this speech, he manages to do something Barack Obama has thus far failed to do: he shares a personal narrative that is substantive and highlights America's virtues.

Documented as many times as he has delivered a speech, President Obama notoriously makes everything about the Man: Barack Obama. His self-aggrandizing narrative is generally used to mischaracterize America's history, belittle America's core principles, and exaggerate America's shortcomings.

Rather than learning American history from historical fiction writers like Howard Zinn and Noam Chomsky, Senator Rubio asserts that his knowledge of America's greatness comes from events he has seen with his own eyes.

America is the greatest nation in history. We must stand by the principles that made her great if she is to remain on top in the future.

¡Viva Marco Rubio!

Congratulations on the remarkable victory, Senator-elect Rubio!

Also a heartfelt congratulations to all of the incoming Conservatives who represent immigrant/minority communities. Your elections show that one's ethnicity does not mandate a dependency on a political party or a government program (sorry Senator Reid, immigrants can love America as it was founded, too--not just angry, white men from the mid-west).
