Rubio Hits It Out of the Park With a Banger of an

On this 250th anniversary of our delivery as a nation – a really monumental second in our historical past – we see people pushing two competing views of America. 

There is the radical left model being pushed by people like New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. He dared to sit behind the desk of George Washington and scold us on our historical past on our birthday.

JUST IN: NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani used America’s 250th anniversary to sharply criticize the nation, accusing the U.S. of permitting youngsters to go hungry while billionaires and “oligarchs” gain more energy.

He said America’s wealth was constructed by working people with “calloused,… pic.twitter.com/p7Ayuza5je

Compare that with President Donald Trump’s Mount Rushmore speech, where he spoke about our exceptionalism. We should not distinctive, as Mamdani claims, because “nothing is fixed.” If nothing is fixed, it may be stepped apart by the political winds of socialism or Communism, as Trump warned. 

Indeed, the very core of our being is fixed, based upon particular person rights, rooted in the Constitutional rule of law, that is locked in stone like Mount Rushmore. It can’t be swept apart, no matter how a lot socialists could strive.

Then, Secretary of State Marco Rubio posted a banger of a video that really hits on the real which means of this birthday. Our Founders, he said, valued what that they had crafted. It was more treasured than wealth, more priceless than security, and life itself to them. 

For 250 years, America has been the biggest nation on Earth — and with God’s grace, will probably be for 250 more.

They had been the heirs to “the whole expanse of Western memory stretching from Athens and Rome to the Magna Carta and Jamestown and Plymouth Rock.” 

The Founders knew it was not an “abstraction.” “Many failed states have borrowed the words of rights and liberties. But a Constitution is only as strong as the people it belongs to,” Rubio warned.

America’s never merely been a “proposition,” Rubio said. That’s one thing we used to hear from Joe Biden, and there are also echoes of this thought in Mamdani’s speech: America is an “idea” that has never lived up to its promise. This stance never provides America the credit it’s due for all that it has introduced to the world, that shining metropolis on the hill. If Biden or Mamdani had been proper, then no one would need to come right here. If they had been proper, we would not have saved the world in two World Wars and helped defeat Communism abroad. And we could have to defeat it again. Yes, now we have flaws, but if you are not holding up our core, you might be lacking (or attacking) our very level. 

“This is the greatest nation on Earth,” Rubio concluded. 

I do not assume there’s any query about who acquired it proper right here.
