Mike Pence to GOP: 'It's Time to Come Home'
NBC News ^ | October 24, 2016 | Vaughn Hillyard

SALISBURY, N.C. — With two weeks until Election Day, Mike Pence has squared up his message for Republicans: "Come home."

The GOP vice presidential candidate repeated the line seven times at a campaign rally on Monday afternoon.

Pence, who joined the ticket this summer to help win over hesitant conservatives, turned his eyes toward galvanizing the turnout of members of his own party.

"I want to submit to all of you, it's time to reach out to all of our Republican and conservative friends and say with one voice: 'It's time to come home and elect Donald Trump as the next president of the United States,'" Pence emphatically told a crowd of several hundred supporters at a Salisbury, North Carolina, campaign stop....

Pence probably draws more people to his rallies than Hillary does.

“Pence probably draws more people to his rallies than Hillary does.”

Restroom lines from Pence rally are longer than Hillary’s.

Pence's message should appeal to those Republicans who have fallen for the counterfeit ideas being promoted in the culture.

The current Administration and the Clintons and their supporters are so out of touch with our Constitution's own formula for freedom that they view those who advocate a return to the idea of Creator-endowed liberty to be regressive. That's the "progressive" wisdom. Now, let's examine that view.

There has been a "media" strategy which presents "regressive" as "progressive," "backward" as "forward," and "down" as "up." On and on it goes.

It's a strategy which goes deep into the decades-long effort to "fundamentally change" America from its new and revolutionary foundations in Creator-endowed liberty backward into the Old World and later Marxian ideas of control by imaginary human grantors and protectors.

Perhaps an answer to the once-asked question here on FR: "Why does Christianity 'scare' . . . ?" may lie in the degree to which the foundation ideas upon which America's Declaration of Independence were laid and from which the concept of Creator-endowed individual liberty and the Source from which that liberty is derived have been removed from "the American mind" (Jefferson).

Perhaps the so-called "progressive" enemies of freedom understand better than those who fancy themselves as "conservatives" that in order to reverse the Founders' ideas of "People over government," and institute "government over People," they must first marginalize and destroy the ideas from which liberty is derived.

The writings of America's Founders are replete with references which rebuke would-be tyrants and cite a Higher Source for life, liberty and rights. Early histories confirm those facts.

As so-called "progressives" have led a movement in forsaking the Founders' "reliance on Divine Providence," and belief that individuals are "endowed by their Creator," they also have forsaken the principles underlying America's Constitution and Declaration of Independence, and are systematically dismantling the greatest protections for liberty ever established for a people.

"Ideas have consequences"(Weaver).

The ideas of 1776 came out of a set of ideas consistent with liberty.

We tend to forget, or have never considered, that other world views, including some prominent in today's headlines, existed then, as now.

Unless today's citizens rediscover the ideas of liberty existing in what Jefferson called "the American mind" of 1776, we risk going back to the "Old World" ideas which preceded the "Miracle of America."

There are those who call themselves "progressives," when, in fact, their ideas are regressive and enslaving, and as old as the history of civilization.

Would suggest to any who wish an authentic history of the ideas underlying American's founding a visit to this web site, at which Richard Frothingham's outstanding 1872 "History of the Rise of the Republic of the United States" can be read on line.

This 600+-page history traces the ideas which gave birth to the American founding. Throughout, Richard Frothingham, the historian, develops the idea that it is "the Christian idea of man" which allowed the philosophy underlying the Declaration of Independence and Constitution to become a reality--an idea which recognizes the individual and the Source of his/her "Creator"-endowed life, liberty and law.

Is there any wonder that the enemies of freedom, the so-called "progressives," do not promote such authentic histories of America? Their philosophy puts something called "the state," or "global interests" as being superior to individuals and requires a political elitist group to decide what role individuals are to play.

In other words, they must turn the Founders' ideas upside-down in order to achieve a common mediocrity for individuals and power for themselves.

So, the still-revolutionary idea stated by both Ryan and Romney in the 2012 campaign about the Source of our rights became fodder for the now-current President's disdain, when he declared that the ideas they were espousing were "reruns" from the 20th Century and better suited for "black and white" television. (Actually, Mr. President, those ideas were from a time much earlier than that.)

As Jefferson wisely observed:

"History, by apprising the people of the past, will enable them to judge of the future; it will avail them of the experience of other times and other nations; it will qualify them as judges of the actions and designs of men; it will enable them to know ambition under every disguise it may assume; and knowing it, to defeat its views."

All of which reinforces our conviction that the ideas of our Declaration of Independence and Constitution are as revolutionary and objectionable to tyrants as they were in 1776 and 1787!

He needs to say it to the GOP establishment. THEY are the ones who need to get on-board with US. As for making sure they retain Senate and House majorities.....my personal opinion is....meh.

I don’t intend to pull the lever for any republicans on my ticket other than Trump/Pence. In my area, there will probably mostly be democrats on the ticket, and I won’t vote for them either. My down-ticket will be pretty much blank except to vote “NO” against all the judges (a measure I learned some years back because at least I can say, “well I didn’t vote to retain him’) And I’ll vote on the ballot issues.

The GOP establishment can go pound sand.

That horse is already miles past the barn door. Time to get busy and lay the groundwork for a true Conservative Party.

“Several hundred supporters”

Considering the source is NBC news, it was probably several thousand. But, yes, you are right. In fact, there are more port-a-potties provided for attendants of a Trump rally than there are people showing up for Clinton. Personally, I wouldn’t walk across the street to waste my spit on the woman.

I agree with his message, and I think the best place to spread it is on Social Media. Twitter & Facebook are that last vestiges of open and unbiased media we have. If you have any friends or family that even might vote for Trump that is one of the best ways to reach them all in one fell swoop. (whatever that really means).

Sign up, log on, do it.
