Mark Robinson We are Americans!
NC Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson took the podium in Greenville NC for the annual NC Republican Party Convention and gave what is being lauded as an absolutely unforgettable speech. "Run into the trouble" folks. Here is an excerpt.
Robinson told the crowd in no uncertain terms that it was their duty right now to "run to the trouble".
"During 9/11 [2001, in NYC], people running away from those burning buildings, running away in horror ... we saw policemen and firemen running to those buildings, basically running to their deaths, to go help others, because they saw trouble and they knew that they were needed."
"That's got to be us in this day, right here. We've got to run to the trouble, folks."
"You share your heritage with a strong and brave people who are determined to hold on to their freedom, and for the freedom of future generations."
"Guys, it's time for us to stand up and be that generation. It's time to stand strong and proud and remember who we are. That we are Christians, that we are Americans, that we are Republicans, and that we are conservatives."
"And, as long as we stand at the vanguard of freedom in this nation, freedom will survive here."
