Governor Mike Pence Remarks for Memorial Tribute of Father Hesburgh

0

Indianapolis – Governor Mike Pence’s remarks, as prepared for delivery, for this evening’s memorial tribute of Father Theodore Hesburgh can be found below.

Memorial Tribute of Father Hesburgh

Governor Mike Pence

Remarks as Prepared for Delivery

To Jim Hesburgh, his wife Mary, and the rest of the Hesburgh family, to the brothers of the Congregation of Holy Cross, Father Jenkins and the University of Notre Dame family, President and Mrs. Carter, your eminence Cardinal McCarrick, and all those gathered both in body and spirit this evening. I offer my deepest condolences on behalf of the people of Indiana for the loss of the Reverend Theodore M. Hesburgh.

Father Hesburgh was not only one of the longest-serving presidents of our nation’s universities; he was a giant on the global stage, a champion of human rights, and a voice for the downtrodden. He held 16 presidential appointments, was a charter member of the Commission on Civil Rights, and served four popes. Father Hesburgh’s career in public service earned him the Congressional Gold Medal, the Medal of Freedom, and our state’s highest honor—the Indiana Sachem Award. His was a life that epitomized faith, vision, and service.

And yet, even as he worked around the world on behalf of presidents and popes, Father Hesburgh always came home to Indiana, to South Bend, and to his beloved Notre Dame. For Father Hesburgh, it truly was “God, Country, Notre Dame.”

This community and our state held an unequivocally special place in Father Hesburgh’s heart, and Hoosiers are proud to call him one of our own.

We have all been inspired by his example of faith, by his voice for the Church, and by his leadership on matters of human and civil rights, which have shaped our world today.

 

Upon the death of Abner, King David spoke words to his people: “Do you not know that a prince, a great man, has fallen today in Israel?”

 

All of Indiana mourns and every community marks the passing of a great man.

 

The people of Indiana will always remember the life, the work, and the character of Father Theodore Hesburgh. May his example ever inspire and may he rest in peace.

MESSAGE. MESSAGE. WHO’S GOT THE MESSAGE?

Nate Beeler / Columbus Dispatch

Raging Moderate by Will Durst

Don’t look now, but the Democratic Party is undergoing an identity crisis of such monumental proportions, the Dissociative Identity Disorder people have called and are requesting artifacts for their Hall of Fame. They’re going to put Obama’s basketball hoop right next to Sally Field’s purple crayon.

In the realm of improbabilities, it’s hard to beat… Democrats and their message. A lot like saying the Eskimos and their convertibles. The Mormons and their all-night dance marathons. ISIS and their art appreciation seminars.

In the wake of suffering what can only be described as the most gruesome drubbing in the history of midterm elections, and yes, that includes the Republican sweep following The Panic of 1893, the Democrats commissioned a report to investigate what the hell went wrong and how to get their mojo back. Although, Harry Reid using the word “mojo” is probably not something you want to be ruminating upon right before bedtime.

Ironically, this was the same self-analysis Republicans turned to after losing the presidency in 2012 to a black guy named Husssein in the middle of a lousy economy. There’s a word for contemplating your navel as a form of meditation: omphaloskepsis. And who can dispute that Democrats are the most naturally omphaloskeptic of the major parties? With Tea Partiers suffering from sesquipedalophobia – fear of long words. And Libertarians most likely to be ablutophobic – which is fear of bathing.

This election post-mortem was based on interviews and studies and surveys and astrological forecasts and ratings on IMDB of the first two Hobbit movies and some random notes found on the backs of spindled lunch receipts and fortune cookie messages but only from indigenously correct restaurants in the Chinatown sections of four large metropolitan areas on the west.

Though the official report isn’t scheduled to come out until May, preliminary findings of the soul-searching have been released, and the Dems have come to the considered opinion that it isn’t their message keeping them from a humongous pile of electoral victories, but the delivery of it. This time they really do blame the messenger. And it’s them.

Yeah, and Domino’s would be renowned for terrific pizza if only they could figure out how to keep it from arriving cold and mealy with congealed cheese stuck the inside top of the box. And they used quality ingredients. Oh yeah, there’s that.

Amazingly, this is the same exact conclusion the GOP reached in their post-Romney autopsy. You have to wonder if these guys use the same consultants. And guess what, they do.

Former Democratic National Chairman and Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell blamed his party’s inability to get their point across because “our message is reasonable and intelligent, and almost inherently nuanced.” Well, there’s your problem right there. Inherently nuanced? Yeah, that floats down the middle of Main Street like a buzzard on a zephyr.

Hey guys, the answer is pretty simple. You want to be the smart party, stop doing stupid stuff. You want to be known as a party with a winning message, quit being such losers. Want the middle class to turn to you for opportunity, provide some middle class opportunity. For crum’s sake, stand for something. Anything. Besides the national anthem, that is.
