THE NARRATIVE AND POLITICAL CORRECTNESS


Threats to freedom of speech, writing and action, though often trivial in isolation, are cumulative in their effect and, unless checked, lead to a general disrespect for the rights of the citizen. -George Orwell

MY FAITH IS THE GREATEST INFLUENCE IN MY LIFE

A young Iowa atheist recently asked Marco Rubio about why he's talking about his faith on the campaign trail. Marco's response was moving to believers and non-believers alike.



As conservatives across the country shared Marco's answer, it's become a sensation.

It's a showcase for Rubio's particular political talent.  He refuses to let this guy, who's civil but deliberately provocative, to bait him into antagonism towards atheists. Us-against-them cultural shtick is Cruz's game, per "New York values." Teddy is the divider while Marco is the uniter.

The most effective part is the last 45 seconds where Rubio makes the case that even atheists should hope that he's influenced in office by his Christian faith. As a scripted response, it would be sharp. Off the cuff, in reply to a loaded question, it's superb. His skill and tone here are why people like him even if they don't share his beliefs. It's exactly what a principled conservative needs to have in order to win a general election.

This isn't the first time that he's thrilled Christians with a defense of his faith either. In Iowa last November he went for 10 full minutes on the subject to a roomful of pastors, leaving CBN contributor David Brody praising his answer as a "thing of beauty." 

This headline from PJMedia says it all:

Erick Erickson noted that it would have been easy for Rubio to argue with the questioner...but he didn't.
Instead, Rubio did something remarkable and did it in a very civil way. He shared the gospel and the impact it has had in Marco's own life. It was calm, civil, respectful, and powerful.
David French at National Review called it a truly profound moment in politics:
Rubio's presentation of his beliefs - beliefs that I share - was winsome, compassionate, and - above all - true. American democracy, featuring so many direct, personal encounters between voters and candidates, can yield its profound moments. This was one.
One caucus goer said it was the best answer she'd ever heard about faith:
"I think it's the first time I ever heard a candidate present his faith as deeply and extensively as he did," said the 64-year-old [Deb Berstler], noting Rubio answered the atheist's question respectfully. "That's going to set him apart."
Even the atheist who asked the question was satisfied with Rubio's answer:
I'm satisfied he took the question head on. He didn't try to run away from it or he didn't mock me.
Other non-believers were impressed as well:    

Marco Rubio believes in religious liberty but also the right of Americans to not have any religious faith at all. As for Marco himself, he will never hide his faith, and it will continue to guide every aspect of his life.

MARCO RUBIO KILLED IT ON THE TONIGHT SHOW!



Marco Rubio Pretty Hilariously Puts #Bootghazi to Rest and Discusses His College Foam Parties
Let's just be honest here - who expected Marco Rubio to be quite this funny during his Tonight Show appearance on Thursday night? It's hard to watch his interview with host Jimmy Fallon and not be impressed with A) his attitude over the "high-heeled bootie" scandal and B) his comedy chops.
In the late night circuit of 2016, Fallon may often be associated with the guy who is most likely to make visiting Presidential candidates look good; it's not likely that a guest is going to get peppered with hard-hitting policy questions. That said, the conversation opened up on the Florida Senator's recent footwear fashion choice on the campaign trail - a boot with a bit of a heel to it - and he handled the situation like a pro...

You can watch the entire episode here. Marco is in the 4th segment, about 25 minutes into the show.

For the record, I think Marco did an excellent job on The Tonight Show. I also think that "controversy" over his boots did nothing but help him, in ways that most of the other GOP candidates can't even begin to fathom.

Here's how Twitter responded to Marco's appearance:

CHRIS CHOCOLA BACKS RUBIO FOR PRESIDENT

 photo 075a2bbc-4191-4527-8c7a-a25042716dc9_zpsnady6vlx.jpg

The Club for Growth has been a key player in conservative and Tea Party efforts to buck the establishment over the past several years.

Chris Chocola was president of the group from 2009 to 2014, and now he's found his candidate for 2016:

Here's what he had to say:
I am proud to support Marco Rubio, a strong fiscal conservative and living testament to the American Dream.
The son of a bartender and a maid, Marco has seen firsthand how American families and workers can thrive when the shackles of government are removed. Washington's pattern of borrowing and spending its way out of problems has failed to expand opportunity for working families, preventing many parents from providing their children with a better future as Marco's parents did for him.
Marco is committed to expanding jobs and opportunity for all Americans, and he has successfully chipped away at Obamacare and consistently fought back against burdensome regulations that are crippling businesses from hiring more workers and increasing wages. Under Marco's leadership, all American families will know that their best days lie ahead.
Chocola himself has made a highly-respected career of fighting for conservative, pro-growth policies as a former congressman from Indiana. The Club backed Rubio's insurgent candidacy against party elites in 2009, and Marco earned his support this time around by living up to the principles on which he campaigned.



Chocola joins a growing team of insurgent, forward-thinking conservatives who are adding to Team Marco's momentum.

And let's not forget this guy:
