佛州长第三梯斯 (Ron DeSantis) 今天开始第二个任期就职演说，永远捍卫美国自由，不向Woke暴徒屈服

州长罗恩·第三梯斯?(Ron DeSantis) 周二宣誓就职，开始第二个任期，并发表了就职演说:

 

首席大法官先生，内阁成员，各位公民：

从太空海岸到阳光海岸，从圣约翰斯到圣露西，从海厄利亚的街道到代托纳的高速公路，从奥基乔比一直到米卡诺皮。

自由生活在这里，在我们伟大的佛罗里达州阳光之州！

它存在于那些巡逻街道和维护我们社区安全的人的勇气中，它存在于那些长时间工作以谋生和养家糊口的行业中，它存在于那些教导我们孩子的人的奉献精神中，它存在于那些 生活在为我们种植食物的人的决心中，生活在我们老年人的智慧中，生活在历史上无数家庭的梦想中，他们从千里之外搬来，因为他们将佛罗里达视为自由和自由的土地 理智之地。

在过去的几年里，当我们国家的许多州压低他们的公民时，我们佛罗里达州的人民却振作起来。

当其他州将其人民的自由托付给垃圾箱时，佛罗里达州坚定地成为自由的关键。

当世界失去理智时——当常识突然成为一种罕见的美德时——佛罗里达是理智的避难所，是我们的美国同胞乃至全世界人民的自由堡垒。

作为国家之船的船长，我们选择在波涛汹涌的自由之海中航行，而不是畏缩在专制统治的平静码头中。

我们面临攻击，我们受到打击，但我们经受住风暴，我们坚守阵地，我们做正确的事。

正如《诗篇》提醒我们的那样，“纵有数以万计的人围攻我，我也不惧怕。”

我们拒绝使用民意调查，也拒绝将我们的手指放在风中——领导人不跟随，他们领导。

我们已经阐明了一个自由和繁荣国家的愿景。

通过坚持不懈和努力工作，我们已经实现了这一愿景。

我们取得了良好的效果。

现在我们今天来到这里是因为佛罗里达州的人民已经证实了我们在唱片时尚方面所做的努力。

佛罗里达表明结果很重要。 我们领导的不是口头上的，而是行动上的。

四年前，我们承诺推行一项大胆的议程。 我们就是这样做的，我们已经产生了结果：

我们说我们将确保佛罗里达州轻税、合理监管和保守支出——我们做到了。

我们承诺我们将实施大规模的教育改革——我们兑现了承诺。

我们说过，我们将通过任命了解法官的适当角色的法学家来结束司法能动主义，这些法学家是按照成文的方式适用法律，而不是从法官那里立法——我们做到了。

我们承诺通过提高水质和大沼泽地恢复工作来开创佛罗里达州自然资源管理的新时代——我们做到了。

我们说过，我们将维护法律和秩序，并支持执法人员——我们做到了。

我们承诺要弥补佛罗里达州选举管理中的缺陷，并追究任性的官员的责任——我们做到了。

我们说我们将支持佛罗里达州西北部遭受迈克尔飓风袭击的地区——我们做到了。

去年飓风伊恩来袭时，该州协调大规模动员响应人员，促成了有记录以来最快的电力恢复，甚至迅速重建了被风暴摧毁的重要桥梁。 我们一直支持佛罗里达州西南部的人民，我们将在未来数周、数月和数年内继续这样做。

由于这些努力和其他努力，佛罗里达州在以下方面处于全国领先地位：

我们在这些美国的净移民中排名第一

佛罗里达州是排名第一的增长最快的州

我们在新业务形成方面排名第一

佛罗里达州的旅游业排名第一

我们在经济自由方面排名第一

佛罗里达州在教育自由方面排名第一

我们在家长参与教育方面排名第一

佛罗里达州在公立高等教育中也排名第一

这是我们都可以引以为豪的记录。

我们还远未完成：

佛罗里达州已经积累了创纪录的预算盈余，我们需要制定创纪录的税收减免措施，特别是针对正在努力应对通货膨胀的佛罗里达州家庭。

我们必须确保学校系统对家长和学生而不是党派利益集团做出回应，我们必须确保我们的高等教育机构专注于学术卓越和追求真理，而不是强加流行意识形态。

佛罗里达州必须始终是养家糊口的好地方——我们将制定更多有利于家庭的政策，以便更容易养育孩子，我们将保护我们的孩子免受那些试图剥夺他们纯真的人的伤害。

我们将始终保持法治状态，我们将始终支持执法，我们将始终拒绝将我们的社区置于危险之中的软打击犯罪政策。

佛罗里达现在正处于保护我们宝贵的自然资源的黄金时代。 我们的势头强劲，我们将完成我们开始的工作——我们将把佛罗里达留给上帝，比我们发现它时更好！

我们承诺这么多，还有更多。

人们常说，我们的联邦制宪政制度——有 50 个州能够奉行自己独特的政策——代表着民主的实验室。

好吧，过去几年见证了对执政理念的巨大考验，因为许多司法管辖区所走的道路与我们在佛罗里达州所走的道路截然不同。

这些州奉行的政策引发了大批富有生产力的美国人离开这些司法管辖区——佛罗里达是最理想的目的地，一片理智的应许之地。

这些城市和州中的许多都以牺牲持久原则为代价来接受时髦的意识形态。

他们通过纵容罪犯和攻击执法部门来危害公共安全。

他们给纳税人施加了不合理的负担，以资助难以估量的公共支出水平。

他们让学生和家长的利益服从于党派利益集团，从而损害了教育。

他们打着缺乏科学依据的大流行病强制和限制的幌子，强加了医疗威权主义。

这种奇怪但普遍存在的意识形态渗透到这些政策措施中，旨在以为边缘化群体伸张正义的名义行事，但它不赞成美国机构，拒绝优点和成就，并提倡身份本质主义。

我们拒绝这种‘觉醒’的意识形态。

我们寻求常态，而不是哲学上的疯狂！

我们不会让现实、事实和真相成为可有可无的选择。

我们永远不会向醒来的暴民投降。

佛罗里达是醒来的地方！

现在，华盛顿特区陷入困境的联邦机构让佛罗里达州的成功变得更加困难。

联邦政府进行了一场通货膨胀的支出狂欢，这让我们的国家变得更弱，我们的公民更穷，它颁布了流行病限制和命令——更多地基于意识形态和政治而不是可靠的科学——这侵蚀了自由并阻碍了商业。

它不计后果地促进了开放边界：嘲弄法治，允许大量毒品侵扰我们的州，进口犯罪外国人，并为数百万非法外国人流入我们的国家开绿灯，给整个社区和纳税人带来负担 土地。

它实施的能源政策削弱了我们国家的国内生产，导致我们公民的能源成本更高，并削弱了我们国家的能源安全，并在此过程中削弱了我们的国家安全。

它通过一个庞大的、不负责任的和脱离现实的官僚机构来行使它的权威，这个官僚机构不代表我们行事，而是笼罩在我们之上并将其意志强加给我们。

结果可想而知是惨淡的。

这导致许多人对该国的未来感到悲观。 有人说失败是不可避免的。

佛罗里达州证明我们人民注定不会失败。

拒绝是一种选择。 成功是可以实现的。 自由值得为之奋斗。

现在为自由而战并不容易，因为对自由的威胁比过去更复杂、更广泛——威胁可能来自华盛顿特区的根深蒂固的官僚、达沃斯的喷气式飞机以及行使公共权力的公司。

但我们必须战斗。

我们信奉我们的创始信条，即我们的权利不是由国家授予的，而是全能者之手赋予的。

我们反对这样的想法，即可以将自治分包给技术官僚精英，他们将人类简化为纯粹的数据点。

我们坚持恢复经过时间考验的宪法原则，这样民有、民治和民享的政府才不会从地球上消失。

佛罗里达州率先保护了我们国父所说的“自由圣火”。

当 56 名男子献出生命、财产和神圣荣誉，建立一个孕育于自由的新国家时，这就是独立厅中燃烧的火焰。

当美国第一位共和党总统向这个国家承诺“自由的新生”时，葛底斯堡的一座墓地就燃烧着这把火。

这是在冲进诺曼底海滩以解放大陆并为世界维护自由的男孩中燃烧的火焰。

正是火焰注入了一位年轻传教士的梦想，在林肯纪念堂的台阶上传递，《独立宣言》说出了它的意思，也表达了它所说的：人人生而平等。

正是那场大火，让一位果断的总统站在柏林，宣布“推倒这堵墙”，瞪着共产主义者，赢得了冷战。

我们在佛罗里达州有责任传递这支火炬。

我们不逃避这个责任； 我们对此表示欢迎。

我们会保持警惕。

我们将坚定信念。

我们会勇敢的。

我们会坚强的！

我们感谢上帝，并为成为伟大的佛罗里达州自由州的公民而自豪！

 

Gov. Ron DeSantis was sworn in to a second term on Tuesday and delivered an inaugural address. As a convenience for readers, City & State is posting this transcript of the governor's remarks, as provided by the Governor's Office.

 

Mr. Chief Justice, members of the Cabinet, and fellow citizens:

 

From the Space Coast to the Suncoast, from St. Johns to St. Lucie, from the streets of Hialeah to the speedways of Daytona, from the Okeechobee all the way up to Micanopy.

 

Freedom lives here, in our great Sunshine State of Florida!

 

It lives in the courage of those who patrol the streets and keep our communities safe, it lives in the industry of those who work long hours to earn a living and raise their families, it lives in the dedication of those who teach our children, it lives in the determination of those who grow our food, it lives in the wisdom of our senior citizens, it lives in the dreams of the historic number of families who have moved from thousands of miles away because they saw Florida as the land of liberty and the land of sanity.

 

Over the past few years, as so many states in our country grinded their citizens down, we in Florida lifted our people up.

 

When other states consigned their people’s freedom to the dustbin, Florida stood strongly as freedom’s linchpin.

 

When the world lost its mind – when common sense suddenly became an uncommon virtue – Florida was a refuge of sanity, a citadel of freedom for our fellow Americans and even for people around the world.

 

In captaining the ship of state, we choose to navigate the boisterous sea of liberty rather than cower in the calm docks of despotism.

 

We face attacks, we take hits, but we weather the storms, we stand our ground, and we do what is right.

 

As the Book of Psalms reminds us, “I will not fear though tens of thousands assail me on every side.”

 

We have refused to use polls and to put our finger in the wind – leaders do not follow, they lead.

 

We have articulated a vision for a free and prosperous state.

 

We have, through persistence and hard work, executed on that vision.

 

We have produced favorable results.

 

And now we are here today because the people of Florida have validated our efforts in record fashion.

 

Florida shows that results matter. We lead not by mere words, but by deeds.

 

Four years ago, we promised to pursue a bold agenda. We did just that and we have produced results:

 

We said we would ensure that Florida taxed lightly, regulated reasonably, and spent conservatively – and we delivered.

 

We promised we would enact big education reforms – and we delivered.

 

We said we would end judicial activism by appointing jurists who understand the proper role of a judge is to apply the law as written, not legislate from the bench – and we delivered.

 

We promised to usher in a new era of stewardship for Florida’s natural resources by promoting water quality and Everglades restoration efforts – and we delivered.

 

We said we would stand for law and order and support the men and women of law enforcement – and we delivered.

 

We promised to remedy deficiencies in Florida’s election administration and to hold wayward officials accountable – and we delivered.

 

We said we would support the areas in Northwest Florida stricken by Hurricane Michael – and we delivered.

 

And when Hurricane Ian came last year, the state coordinated a massive mobilization of response personnel, facilitated the fastest power restoration on record, and even quickly rebuilt key bridges that had been wiped out by the storm. We have stood by the people of Southwest Florida and we will continue to do so in the weeks, months and years ahead.  

 

Because of these efforts and others, Florida is leading the nation:

 

We are #1 in these United States in net in-migration

 

Florida is the #1 fastest growing state

 

We are #1 in new business formations

 

Florida is #1 in tourism

 

We are #1 in economic freedom

 

Florida is #1 in education freedom

 

And we rank #1 in parental involvement in education

 

Florida also ranks #1 in public higher education

 

This is a record we can all be proud of.

 

And we are far from done:

 

Florida has accumulated a record budget surplus, and we need to enact a record amount of tax relief, particularly for Florida families who are grappling with inflation.

 

We must ensure school systems are responsive to parents and to students, not partisan interest groups, and we must ensure that our institutions of higher learning are focused on academic excellence and the pursuit of truth, not the imposition of trendy ideology.

 

Florida must always be a great place to raise a family – we will enact more family-friendly policies to make it easier to raise children and we will defend our children against those who seek to rob them of their innocence.

 

We will always remain a law-and-order state, we will always support law enforcement, and we will always reject soft-on-crime policies that put our communities at risk.

 

Florida is now in a golden era for conservation of our treasured natural resources. Our momentum is strong and we will finish what we started – we will leave Florida to God better than we found it!

 

This much we pledge and so much more.

 

It is often said that our federalist constitutional system – with fifty states able to pursue their own unique policies – represents a laboratory of democracy.

 

Well these last few years have witnessed a great test of governing philosophies as many jurisdictions pursued a much different path than we have pursued here in the state of Florida.

 

The policies pursued by these states have sparked a mass exodus of productive Americans from these jurisdictions – with Florida serving as the most desired destination, a promised land of sanity.

 

Many of these cities and states have embraced faddish ideology at the expense of enduring principles.

 

They have harmed public safety by coddling criminals and attacking law enforcement.

 

They have imposed unreasonable burdens on taxpayers to finance unfathomable levels of public spending.

 

They have harmed education by subordinating the interests of students and parents to partisan interest groups.

 

They have imposed medical authoritarianism in the guise of pandemic mandates and restrictions that lack a scientific basis.

 

This bizarre, but prevalent, ideology that permeates these policy measures purports to act in the name of justice for the marginalized, but it frowns upon American institutions, it rejects merit and achievement, and it advocates identity essentialism.

 

We reject this woke ideology.

 

We seek normalcy, not philosophical lunacy!

 

We will not allow reality, facts, and truth to become optional.

 

We will never surrender to the woke mob.

 

Florida is where woke goes to die!

 

Now Florida’s success has been made more difficult by the floundering federal establishment in Washington, D.C.

 

The federal government has gone on an inflationary spending binge that has left our nation weaker and our citizens poorer, it has enacted pandemic restrictions and mandates – based more on ideology and politics than on sound science – and this has eroded freedom and stunted commerce.

 

It has recklessly facilitated open borders: making a mockery of the rule of law, allowing massive amounts of narcotics to infest our states, importing criminal aliens, and green lighting the flow of millions of illegal aliens into our country, burdening communities and taxpayers throughout the land.

 

It has imposed an energy policy that has crippled our nation’s domestic production, causing energy to cost more for our citizens and eroding our nation’s energy security, and, in the process, our national security.

 

It wields its authority through a sprawling, unaccountable and out-of-touch bureaucracy that does not act on behalf of us, but instead looms over us and imposes its will upon us.  

 

The results of this have been predictably dismal.

 

This has caused many to be pessimistic about the country’s future. Some say that failure is inevitable.

 

Florida is proof positive that We the People are not destined for failure.

 

Decline is a choice. Success is attainable. And freedom is worth fighting for.

 

Now fighting for freedom is not easy because the threats to freedom are more complex and more widespread than in the past – the threats can come from entrenched bureaucrats in D.C., jet-setters in Davos, and corporations wielding public power.

 

But fight we must.

 

We embrace our founding creed that our rights are not granted by the courtesy of the State, but are endowed by the hand of the Almighty.

 

We reject the idea that self-government can be subcontracted out to technocratic elites who reduce human beings to mere data points.

 

We insist on the restoration of time-tested constitutional principles so that government of, by and for the people shall not perish from this earth.

 

Florida has led the way in preserving what the father of our country called the “sacred fire of liberty.”

 

It is the fire that burned in Independence Hall when 56 men pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor to establish a new nation conceived in liberty.

 

It is the fire that burned at a cemetery at Gettysburg when the nation’s first Republican president pledged to this nation a “new birth of freedom.”

 

It is the fire that burned among the boys who stormed the beaches of Normandy to liberate a continent and to preserve freedom for the world.

 

It is the fire that infused a young preacher’s dream, relayed at the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, that the Declaration of Independence said what it meant and meant what it said: all men are created equal.

 

It is the fire that led a resolute president to stand in Berlin and declare “tear down this wall,” staring down the communists and winning the Cold War.

 

It is our responsibility here in Florida to carry this torch.

 

We do not run from this responsibility; we welcome it.

 

We will be on our guard.

 

We will stand firm in the faith.

 

We will be courageous.

 

We will be strong!

 

And we thank God and are proud to be citizens of the great Free State of Florida!
