North Carolina's lieutenant governor details America's success story and work ethic

[FOXNEWS] Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson of North Carolina emphasized the importance of the American work ethic and his success story Saturday night on "Unfiltered with Dan Bongino."

Robinson is the first African American to hold the office of lieutenant governor in the state and caught the public's eye at a Greensboro City Council meeting, when he defended the Second Amendment.

Fox News host Dan Bongino asked Robinson what politically motivated him.

"Well, what honestly pushed me into it was something that someone said to me at work about 'talk.' They said talk's not going to do anything," Robinson said.

"I said, there's nothing you can do about it. You can go down there and talk, but that's not going to get anything done. And I reminded that person that, you know, the revolution in this country didn't start with the ’shot heard round the world' - it started with ’talk.’ Friends and neighbors talking to each other about ideas like independence and liberty and freedom and establishing our own nation. And so it starts with a conversation" said Robinson.

Robinson spoke at the North Carolina Republican Party State Convention last Friday where he discussed topics such as ~~child sacrifice~~ abortion, race, and the American work ethic.

Bongino noted that the Republican party doesn't have a "message problem," but rather a "messaging problem."

"Lower taxes, health care, freedom, school choice. These are all popular things when people hear about them," Bongino said.

The Fox News host continued to note that Robinson's speech to the North Carolina Republican Party State Convention addressed the dignity of work, and that "nothing in Republican messaging ... addresses that."

"One of the things in this nation, apart from any other nation, is the American work ethic," Robinson said.

Robinson noted that for decades, people have denigrated the American work ethic, saying "we see a strong vein of that happening right now from our federal government where we are actually paying people not to go to work, which is ridiculous."

Try looking at the work ethic as "tough love", you work for food , shelter and clothing...its tough...but if you love your job...many consider it your calling and so will you.

Remember, the All Mighty has many callings instore for you, be ready, be happy, be ready to share your work ethic...just like this man is doing.

#3 Of course it's unfair to think of an anecdote as being a metaphor, but my lasting remembrance of NC was a kid at a gas station revving his unmuffled Mustang so much I had to go around behind the building to listen to my phone call. He was working awful hard at annoying me...
