Rubio Addresses The 2010 Florida Victory Dinner

this election is all elections are every single election has mattered in the history of our but for the last two hundred and thirty four years Americans of the the

most exceptional society you know we should not be embarrassed to say that America is not just you it's quite frankly better than anything else that have ever existed in history of mankind nndb

are simply the freest people that have ever walked this you realize that tonight we are meeting here to criticize the president of the United States in

talk bad about the government the police comes through the door in Iraq the fact that we are even gathered here today are that we're going to have an election in the a

testament to an extraordinary freedom which is unique and rare and all the history of the you realize also that we are the

greater force for good at least in the last ten you think about every great because that is faced humanity over the last hundred years every

single one of them America's been it's young American lives that have been lost on foreign battlefields not for treasurer for lan we

didn't turn Japan or Germany in the state Americans have died in continue to do so even on this day for

the freedoms and liberties of others because we are a nation found not on a common ethnicity or common religion or even a comma language

so to speak we're nation founded on the principle that says that your rights as a person come not from your government or from your king they come from your guy and

we are the most prosperous people in human something that is clearly evident in the story of Rick Scott that he told just a moment ago but

also in your life I would venture to guess that every single person here to lives a better life than their parents and you do so not only because they worked hard and sacrificed and gave things a so

you could have opportunities they couldn't but you do so because you have the privilege and the honor as I being a citizen of the single greatest society in a a

their life savings and open to come and made it success a place where people open up businesses in the spare bedroom of their home oftentimes

in violation of the zoning and one day sold sold shares of that company on what but you see this greatness was not an act it

didn't happen because god loves Americans more than he loves other countries and it isn't because smarter than everybody else it

happened because we made choice because those who came before make choices a centered on you has out let me take this opportunity to thank you senator for the help you have gay I

single generation of American was asked that she what they wanted to continue to be special or whether they want our country to become just like everybody else and

every single generation before us chose to be so and that's why came with actions it wasn't just we want to be spent every

every generation before us has stood before the challenges to our exception have faced them confronted them inside because

they did we leave and live the life we and now here we faced with the same question once a but perhaps in a world as dangerous as it is ever and

with challenges to our exceptionalism domestic as great as any we have a faced here's the bottom line with no offense towards whether

it's by design or by incompetent the people in charge of the American government today are leading us on a road that will rob us of everything

that makes it's very if we stay on this road Ron right now we continue to do the things that they are doing now and walk this

world and that's what this election's about this election is not a choice between simply a Republican and a Democrat and opportune this
