The Evening Keynote
Remarks delivered by the chairman of the House Republican Conference at The American Spectator’s annual Robert L. Bartley dinner last Thursday evening.
(Page 3 of 3)
So what is our part to play? What is your role in this unfolding drama? It is to rise up. To do freedom’s work. Like a great patron of conservative causes, the late J. Patrick Rooney of Indiana.
At this dinner in 2005, featuring Justice Scalia’s remarks, I sat with the late J. Patrick Rooney. We had an exchange at the table that has never left me. I told my mentor, and friend, that I admired him for staying in the fight when he could be on a golf course or on a beach instead of working the halls of Congress for school choice and health savings accounts. Pat scowled at me and said, “We are not put on this earth for our amusement or enjoyment, we are put on this earth to do our d—n duty.’
Now comes the time for all of us to do our duty in this battle to preserve all that makes America great. If you can give, give. If you can speak, speak. If you can write, write. If you can run, run. But do all you can. Now is the moment.
The Bible says, “If the foundations crumble, how can the righteous stand?” The foundations of this country are found in our Declaration of Independence, and in the spirit of personal responsibility and equality of opportunity that beats in the heart of every American.
Through the work of The American Spectator, you have done your part to preserve that foundation. Now we must do more. And we will not fight alone. Winston Churchill said before Congress in 1941, “He must indeed have a blind soul who cannot see that some great purpose and design is being worked out here below, of which we have the honor to be faithful servants.” There is a great purpose being worked out and, as President Bush said so many times, the Almighty’s purpose is freedom.
You have a role to play; a duty to fulfill. You are to be the faithful servants of freedom in this hour. You’ve gathered in this nation’s Capital to take your stand for what makes this country great. A Capital filled with memorials to America’s heroes, men and women whose faces are carved in bronze, whose names adorn monuments, and just across that river, whose remains lie quietly as testament to their heroism for our freedom. In their time they did their part. Now it’s your turn.
Let us do as generations of Americans have done before, let us stand for what has always been the source of American greatness: our faith in God and our freedom. And if we hold that banner high, I believe with all my heart, the good and great people of this land will rally to our cause. We will take this Congress back in 2010 and we will take this country back in 2012, so help us God.

Excellent speech.
Congressman Pence has been a consistent voice for American principals and a true friend of liberty. It is to be hoped that more will be seen of him on the national stage. I hope he has aspirations for higher office. It would do the nation well.
DKennedy| 11.24.09 @ 5:09AM
If Pence represents American principles.. then American principles are bigotry, corporate greed, delusion, hypocrisy, spreading lies and fear and war mongering.
He claims that he represents fiscal conservatives.. what republican has ever been a fiscal conservative? Ever?
They tell you how they are going to do one thing.. then do something completely different when in office.
Obama has done exactly what he claimed he would.. and you are too blinded by the fact that you lost the election to recognize his honesty.
Put a Republican in office - and the rich get richer.. and the middle class get lower wages. Put a Republican in office.. and you get further outsourced jobs.. and wars that cost lives money.
Put a Republican in office.. and build the next big pit for America to try to climb out of... once we get a Democrat to do it.
Tex Expatriate| 11.24.09 @ 6:51PM
You must be a complete fool. Obama hid his radical socialist agenda, managed the docile and supportive media, and lied, lied, lied. Many Republicans have been fiscal conservatives. George Bush was a liberal, like you. You socialists are going DOWN and soon.
Michael Dooley| 11.23.09 @ 7:17AM
Mr. Pense is the exact kind of Republican the wise men in the Republican Party swear can't win. He lost his first two elections before finally winning that seat in the House sticking to his guns and not slinking off his principles. He has won his district every election since—even after his locality was twisted into an amusing geometric shape by Democrat redistricting. No one is confused about where he stands. Mike Pense has not "grown" in D.C. Instead, Pense told us who he was and nothing he has done tells us otherwise. Hoosier politicians are well known for talking right before their constituents and voting left in Washington. Not so with Pense. Would that he run against our Democrat Senator Evan Bayh. Pense is an unapologetic Conservative. Most of all, he is a true gentleman.
Margie| 11.23.09 @ 11:20AM
Great post. Yes, and THAT'S how Ronald Reagan was, and why he got elected. And THAT'S how Sarah Palin is and why we love her, and why she will get elected, if she runs.
It's by having those excellent principles, and sticking to your guns!
It's really encouraging!

Beautiful and inspiring speech. What makes it so is because he IS that speech. I hope Mr. Pence runs for President, maybe with Sarah at his side. I got rid of my t.v. and the one thing I miss is being able to see men like him speak on C-Span. Back in the 90's when I became "politically aware" I would watch these men and women and see their true character. Mike Pence is a man after God's own heart, IMHO.

WORDS are fine, folks, but it's ACTIONS that are the only thing that will now save us! Our mistake was allowing the liberals that currently run this country to become elected. We ndidn't care enough, campaign enough, opinion voice enough, talk politics to our friends/neighbors enough,etc. We dropped the ball. Additionally, our so called Republican/conservative congressmen that we did elect allowed themselves to be swallowed up by the limelight of Washington DC; and forgot over time WHO elected them and WHO they owe their allegiance to back home. Now we are faced with the domestic terrorism that is in control of our country; and the only solution is for us to elect congressmen who will stay loyal to us/their constituents. So everyone needs to GET TO WORK for 2010 and 2012!!!!

Hey Folks
Pardon me for digressing here BUT!
No articles here at all concerning Sarah's book.
Has anybody else here read it yet?
I am about halfway through...and wow what a delightful read. There is no question but that the thoughts are entirely Sarah's. The whole thing is written first person, and Sarah's helper seems to merely help the narrative flow, similar to an exellent editor.
Did anyone here note Sarah's dinner at Billy Graham's home Sunday evening?
Folks, she just raised about 12 million votes for congressmen/women across the country...just due to his personal invite to her. (see youtube Palin billy Graham)

If this wasn't so pathetic, it would be funny --
"To get this administration to focus on creating jobs, maybe the president should spend less time at the Great Wall of China and more time at Wal-Mart! "
Wal-Mart merchandise is made in China, shutting down American factories.
GOP your prayers to Jesus were answered -- the answer is in the White House and the majority in Congress. Don't hate Jesus, praise Him.
James| 11.23.09 @ 3:47PM
I thought the same thing about the Wal-Mart comment, but everything everywhere is made in China or somewhere besides here. It was a clever play on "Wall" - Walmart, Wall of China - and it sounds better that saying Target.
The point, though, is valid. Obama should stop traversing the world on his "please love me" tour and focus on the good old USA.
Louis Jenkins| 11.23.09 @ 3:36PM
planetspinz:
You haven't been to Walmart lately have you. I've seen Doctors and Lawyers that I know shopping there for cheaper prices. And yes, Chinese products on sale there have nixed USA jobs. Remember the 'Made in America" signs that abounded there? Their board went for the profit line didn't they? Their decision put China on economic wonder status. Just about everyone is trying to stretch their shrinking dollar, and oddly, their Walmart purchases only make it shrink more.
I may soon be arrested. Sat. night I sent one of my Senator's a blazing e-mail, didn't threaten bodily harm, or use four letter words, but if the good Senator should ever read it there will be no doubt as to my displeasure.
An inspiring speech Pence. At least one Rep. gets it.
nutjob| 11.23.09 @ 4:22PM
In order that any country be great, it needs cultural strength, economic strength, and military strength. In the early years of the Union, we had cultural strength that translated over time to economic strength and military strength. I would argue that, starting in the 60's and 70's, we saw the beginning of the cultural decline (no...I am not a closet bigot talking about the civil rights movement...I am talking about the liberal ideas of free love, the drug culture, abortion, etc.), which has translated to economic decline, which will translate to military decline. In order to reverse this trend, I believe we need to reverse the cultural decline. We need to throw out the twisted ideas and activities stemming from radical diversity, radical multi-culturalism, radical environmentalism, socialism, and marxism). We need to begin again to teach our country's heritage, our Constitution, the Federalist Papers, strong family values, work ethic, etc. to our kids (see http://www.city-journal.org/20.....ethic.html for a very good article on this subject). If we can reverse the cultural decline of our country, we can reverse the rest. Otherwise, we are doomed to mediocrity. Congressman Pence gets it. I believe we are at a precipice. Either we get with it as Oldefarte exhorts, or we get ready to take our medicine.

planetspinz, the goods would be made in America but the unions took care of that.
I can't tell if you really believe Obama is the second coming or you were joking? I simply cannot believe someone is dumb enough to believe Obama is capable of anything but talking a good game and even that isn't all that good.
If you believe in what Obama spews - the redistribution of wealth -- then I encourage you to not hide behind legislation, politicians or rhetoric. If you believe the cause noble - man up and go take it, don't wait for the cover of legislation. There is more of you than them - just take it. After all, why shouldn't you be more entitled to the fruits of someones labor more than the person who earned it?
The real issue is once you steal everything what will you do? Once you beat down those who produce and cant suck off of them any longer how will you live. If those who produced stopped producing you and others who live off the teat of others would wither away unable to fend for yourself.
Will you force the producers to produce for you? Why should your entitlement be limited to what they do produce? Your entitlement should include what they "could" produce and you "should" make them produce it. What right do the producers have not working to sustain your life?
Sound crazy? Wait until Government Health Care passes and Doctors choose to not become indentured servants. You and your kind are only a few short years from seeing what happens when producers choose to not produce any longer.
roger| 11.23.09 @ 4:55PM
Obama will soon be apologizing for all the wrongs we have committed that would cause foreigners to fly planes into buildings and kill thousands of people.
And Obama will now have KSM and friends re-enforcing Obama's belief about how faulty America is and now he and the Democrats should persist in their crusade to " fundamentally change" America.
Ben Sutherland | 11.23.09 @ 5:35PM
It's wild. I actually agree with quite a bit that Representative Pence has to say in this speech.
But the more sanctimony with which he articulates his thoughts - especially when there are so many obvious inconsistencies in his sentiments - the more foolish he looks and the less likely I am to vote for him, even as I am looking to vote for Republicans almost without exception this election.
Republicans might rethink the path that Mr. Pence is taking in this speech. The answer to liberal sanctimony is not conservative sanctimony. And, when it is, conservatives will lose elections just as surely.
The answer is smarter policies. Representative Pence is clearly a man who reads the conservative media to figure out what he thinks. But it would behoove all political officials, as it would behoove all of us, to read all ideas and think for ourselves rather than begin to delude ourselves, once again, that groupthink equals smarter policies.
It doesn't. And thinking so got conservatives in serious trouble with the last Administration and Congress. Republicans controlled both houses of Congress, the Presidency, and the Supreme Court not too far in the recent past. And they lost it all following exactly this path.
They're welcome to do it again.
But it means losing the votes of independents like me who don't care if Republicans or Democrats have short memories and have shortcircuited their reason to satisfy their sanctimony.
And folks like me are determining elections, these days.
So. Be careful of wishing that your Congressman would say exactly everything you believe. It could be that you're both wrong, depending on the issue and what reason dictates.
And just sounding the ideological horn not only is foolish and attempts to compensate for lack of thought with numbers.
It loses elections, these days.
Too many good ideas in conservative thought to let that happen so soon after the last time.
Ben Sutherland
victor| 11.24.09 @ 12:03AM
"I actually agree with quite a bit .....of his inconsistencies"???
I agreed with Mike Pence before I disagreed with Mike Pence.
Mike Pence has been saying what he believes for quite some time and is not a mothpiece for anybody.
I wish I had a Congressman like Pence to vote for and the not the liberal RINO pro choice pro gay guy We've got now.
"And folks like me are determining elections, these days.
First you say you will, then you don't.
Staying home or voting third party won't feed the bulldog.
If you've got a complaint with your congressman, then voice your concerns to him or her.
That's the only way anything gets done.

Ben Sutterland and other independents: The two party system has failed. I was so happy when Bush beat Gore because I thought things would change. NO. Then the country knowing we were heading the wrong direction again, voted in the democrats hoping things would change. NO. The country swings back and forth between the two parties because there has been only socialism-lite and socialism-heavy. We need a new party. Or maybe NO PARTIES. George Washington was upset about the beginnings of the two party system because he could see that it would lead us here.

I will wait until good men like Pence say the right words - that it is time to admit that we will never reconcile with liberal fascism, and time to split his nation so that Free Americans can get out from under the oppressive debt with which the liberal fascists have burdened the US, and get to work restoring the Constitution.

He has been fighting the good fight for quite some time now, & has proven to be a regular bulldog when it comes to voting in accordance to the oath he took.

I for one, plan on rejecting the Health Care Reform bill if it passes. That means I will refuse to participate, refuse to pay fines and will be subject to going to jail! I believe the bill is unconstitutional and therefore it is my duty to fight it. We are sacrificing our best young women and men to Iraq and Afghanistan to protect American liberty. We can’t forfeit that liberty here without equal sacrifice.
I am too old to go to Afghanistan; I am not too old to go to jail!

Excellent speech, thanks for posting.
We need more of this type of talk and less of Haley's "let's just get along" bs he has been preaching to the troops. Do not get confused about the so called "Gingrich Revolution". Newt and Barbour wrecked the Republican brand and claimed the public revolt and election results as some kind of marketing genius. We will not tolerate any more games like this again.
Thank you for speaking plainly and keep it up. The Republican party needs more voices like yours if they are to shrug off the Republicrat stink that still wafts like a foul fog over many in the leadership roles.

Shame on Mrs. Palin! They should be humble servants of the WORD! Instead, they are usurpers and do not PRAISE! They use righteousness as a tool to strike fear into the hearts of GOOD PEOPLE for EVIL ENDS. Who is the enemy?

Elections have consequences - and that is how it should be. The UK people voted not once but twice for Labour and their country is just a smoldering destroyed heap now.
The American people voted for the Demoncrats and their Magic Mulatto, and now the internal enemies they voted for are trying to dismantle the country as rapidly as possibly - they know that unlike in the UK, the American people will not vote for them the second time.

S.L. Toddard| 11.24.09 @ 10:57AM
From Daniel Larison:
Mike Pence is one of the few members of the current GOP House leadership with any credibility when he criticizes bailouts (he opposed the TARP when it was first proposed), so that isn’t the problem with his recent address to The American Spectator’s Robert Bartley dinner. Pence refers to a “great American awakening” in response to “runaway federal spending, bailouts and takeovers by both parties.” He might be right, but even if there weren’t such an awakening he wouldn’t be wrong to speak out against these things. What is amazing about the beginning of this speech is how quickly it turns from an area where the GOP may now have some advantages (i.e., fiscal and economic questions) to foreign policy, where it has nothing at all worthwhile to say. Fiscal conservatives can rightly point to mounting debt, a weakening dollar and an unsustainable entitlement system and can offer something in the way of a remedy or at least a serious alternative, but the moment the subject turns to foreign affairs they become ridiculous idealists and paranoid alarmists.
Pence begins:
"On the foreign stage, the American people know that weakness arouses evil. They know that bowing and kowtowing to foreign dictators only diminishes our standing in the world. And they know that standing idly by while the Ayatollahs in Iran crush innocent civilians, clamoring for free elections, is totally inconsistent with our history of standing with those who stand for freedom around the world. Ronald Reagan didn’t stand before the Brandenburg Gate and say, “Mr. Gorbachev, that wall is none of our business.” The American cause is freedom and in that cause we must never be silent again"
This is idealistic claptrap at best, but what worries me is that Pence may actually think this is a serious criticism of Obama’s foreign policy. In 1956, our President did not confuse the American cause with the cause of Hungarian rebels, admirable and courageous as those rebels were, and WWIII was avoided. Indeed, it was the empty rhetoric of rollback fanatics who led those Hungarians to believe that they would receive U.S. support if they rose up. They believed the fantasy that “the American cause is freedom,” and they were killed as a result. That is precisely what Pence is urging our government to do with respect to Iran. In other words, he is calling on our government to give Tehran a pretext for even bloodier repression.
Let’s suppose for the sake of argument that we accept the fairy tale that the Georgian government of Mikheil Saakashvili has been representing the forces of freedom and democracy in the Caucasus. By Pence’s standard, because “the American cause is freedom,” we would be obliged to have come to the defense of Georgia when Russia retaliated against Georgian escalation. To do anything else would be to betray our principles, right? If our government were as foolish and reckless as Pence’s rhetoric would have it be, we would have been entering into new major international wars on a regular basis in recent years. At the very least we would have been sacrificing American interests to take sides in foreign political conflicts in which we have no real stake.
Idealists love to make commitments that our government is then bound to keep or else be accused of “betraying” the cause of freedom. What Pence does not make explicit is that the national interest often diverges from the interests of foreign dissidents. How could it be otherwise? Pence has a lot of fun throwing around accusations that Obama has been “bowing and kowtowing” to other governments, but Pence plainly wants to subordinate U.S. interests to the causes of political dissidents around the world.
