Conservatives, off their leash, are a frightening bunch (The Economist's view of CPAC)

You should have stayed long enough to attend this year. How about coming next year?

You wouldn't have wanted me there. I probably would have burst a few veins in restraining myself from knocking out some of Terry McAuliffe's teeth. Certainly I would have told him what a lying sack of donkey excrement he is.

Regards, Ivan

You were having a allergic reaction from the nearness, both you and Dio. Did she have her picture taken with Bob Barr after the "Terry Mc" incident? If so that explains what happened to her hair - it was infected and tried to eat Bob Barr's hand. Good thing y'all took drastic measures right after!

[dixie sass]

I did at that! The wealth of information, the networking, the people - yep, a kid at Christmas or better yet, a chocoholic let loose in the Godiva Store!!!! Meeting up with everyone after the day was over was still the highlight of the event. Time to talk and mull over the events of the day - who, what, where, when and how!!!

The last day was definitely a downer with the Shuttle news, but still turned out to be busy lots of people to talk with. You would have enjoyed it.

LOL I saw that! Dio was having trouble with it for the rest of the weekend ;)

[dixie sass]

Jim, for some reason has it with a small "D" and "S". I keep forgetting to ask him to change it. I can't login unless I use the Caps, sooooooooooo...

[dixie sass]

Yes indeed, we would have wanted you there. You are, as always a gentleman and I know that you would have behaved as one and told him that with a smile, so the invite still goes - next year?

[diotima]

Actually I am infected. I have some plague that was circulating around CPAC. I think Gene had it too.

Bob is very sick, so I have an encouraging picture as to what I'm going to go through in the next few days. I'll bet McAwful brought some germs with him.

[gitmo]

Is he saying that Radical Islam is just a made-up enemy of American Freedom?

I think the issue is that the author hasn't heard about the stuff that happened on September 11.

[dixie sass]

Aha! So that's were it came from - it was all those liberals on the train to D.C. and the McAwful contingent! I have been sick for the last day and a half. Yuck! Over the cold and now this crap! I am not a happy camper today!

[Mudboy Slim]

It ain't so...I wuz framed!!! It's not my fault...LOL!!

"John Ashcroft...Time to RESIGN!!!"
(To be sung to Waylon Jennings' "Amanda")

I've held it all in, Lord...God knows I've tried...
But it's an awful awakening in a patriot's life...
To know of Left's Tyranny and Slick's shameless lies...
We put "OUR GUYS" in Justice, then They IGNORE Clinton's CRIMES!!

John Ashcroft, please do what's Right!!
Fate...it SHALL force you to INDICT Left's Blight!!
John Ashcroft...Fight the Good Fight!!
Patriots will help you when you do what's Right!!

That's what's special 'bout FReepers, folks, we understand...
The pleasures of fightin' Slick's TreasonousScams.
T-Mac screwed o'er the Teamsters...his crimes are OBSCENE!!
Now Ashcroft's in Power, Fer Justice We FReep!!

John Ashcroft, Show US Some Spine...
Sure, RATS may hate you, but they'll learn our Might!!
John Ashcroft, Slick We'll INDICT...
FATE Shall Then Make Bill His Cell-Buddy's "PIE"!!

Mudboy Slim...Let's boogie!!

BTW...Time to pick it up a notch, folks, we've got to get the word out about McAuliffe before the Statute Of Limitations runs out with respect to his TeamsterGate Involvement. For those of you new to FreeRepublic, what we call this is "e-FReepin'", wherein we inundate as many sources as possible with information about an issue we care deeply about. In this case, the issue that many of us care deeply about is "JUSTICE!!"

Thank you and I hope you will enjoy your stay on our thread.

Hmmmm? Such an attack does elicit the posibility that the conference was especially good!

That said, I thought this quote was a bit over the top: "They brimmed with hatred".

Then, this line sort of hit me too: "George Bush dolls that repeat his classic lines, such as, 'We will not allow our enemies to hold our nation hostile.'

That last word "hostile" - did the author make that little mistake - the word should be "hostage". I think the author was the only one there who was hostile.

[CyberAnt]

Also - I loved the statement about "Bushophilia"

However, just a couple of paragraphs later, the x42 stuff was referred to as "Clinton memorabilia"

Obvious Bush hater!!

[Seeking the truth]

Ah ha........now I understand why I was alway confused.

At least, I think I do!

[Bob J]

What, no mention of the FR booth?

[Seeking the truth]

Dio, both Darlie & I got sick. I mean real sick; particularly Darlie. She missed 3 days of works this week.

[dixie sass]

You confused? Seeking the truth? lol

[dixie sass]

What? No mention of FR Radio, SAS, NRSTA, DC Chapter, Network booth, just a vague reference to 0cents - sigh, some people just don't know what's important and what isn't!!!

Do you realize that the kids with the black t-shirt with W. on the back was started by the young man that Iron Jack interviewed last year on FR Radio? He came up to the booth early on the first morning last year and introduced himself to me. Said that his mom was a FReeper and told him to come by and say hello. He is from Ark. He told me what he was doing and I took him over to IJ for an interview. Delightful young man, well mannered and sharp as a tack - I just can't remember his name though!!

FReepers were well represented though.

[BfloGuy]

Well color me naive, but I don't see any horrible anti-right bias, here.

It's tongue-in-cheek, to be sure, but hardly a devastating indictment of CPAC.

And the last line, that CPAC might consider holding its next meeting in Paris is actually pretty funny.

Awful lot of indignant responses to a pretty fluffy little story.

[RightOnline]

What never ceases to chap my hide is the haughty, tight-assed, pinched-faced, condescending way these prissy little libs flick their wrists and paint us as knuckle-dragging Neanderthals.

All this because we happen to believe in America, the Constitution, honor, and possess a visceral hatred of tyranny wherever it may be.

To the Economist: Save your pants-pissing. You aren't on our target list.....................yet.

[KLT]

They think we're scary....BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Now this is scary!
