JD Vance’s CPAC Speech Focused On Guiding Principles

As is becoming typical for Vance, he didn’t stick to the generic political script but delved into fundamental moral principles guiding a free society.

Vance sat down with Mercedes Schlapp, one of CPAC’s organizers, to discuss the administration’s plans and his views on many of the issues confronting our nation. You can watch the entire exchange here (or read the full transcript here), but but it always feels a bit different when you’re in the room as someone is developing his thoughts. Watching Vance speak, you could predict much of what he talked about, but one very important part of his message stood out to me, and that was what he said about his Christian faith and how important it was, not only for himself and his family but as a guiding principle to return freedom and morality to America. Here are a few short quotes that really impressed me.

MERCEDES SCHLAPP: One of the issues that’s central to the CPAC community is the issue of pro-life. What is the administration going to do to defend the unborn, to provide support for those mothers, those fathers that choose life?

VICE PRESIDENT JD VANCE: One of the things, of course, that the president got done during the first term, and I think that it’s why he is accurately called the most pro-life president in American history, is he finally made it possible for the will of the people to speak on the life issue. The Dobbs decision, what that did is it gave the abortion question back to the people.

It took it out of the hands of unelected bureaucrats and unelected judges and gave it back to the people.

the communists knew that, despite Karl Marx referring to religion as “the opiate of the masses,” it was actually the main source of strength for our culture and society.

President Trump has filled his Cabinet with several potential future Presidents. Vice President Vance threw a big hat in the ring with his EU speech.
