United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP) leader Nigel Farage will cross the pond at the end of February to speak at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) hosted by the American Conservative Union (ACU) just outside Washington, D.C., Breitbart News has learned exclusively.

“I am very excited to be coming to speak to so many freedom-loving individuals at CPAC this year – and I consider it an honour to do so,” Farage said in an emailed statement to Breitbart News. “In Britain, we are fighting against the creation of a client-state, against rampant corporatism, against a career political class that services vested interests and has forgotten about the world outside of their cosy, Westminster bubble. I understand that in the United States, the fight isn’t all that different. I look forward to meeting attendees and guests, and discussing how together, we can refuse to simply ‘manage decline’ and how we can alter the trajectory of our once great nations.”

CPAC will be held from Feb. 25 through Feb. 28 at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center in National Harbor, Maryland, just outside of Washington, D.C....

Hopefully being done to send a message to the GOP. I suspect most people attending this event will be doing so in ill humor, so bandying about the idea of starting a new party fits in with the general mood towards the GOPe.

Anyone who likes to conduct press interviews in his local pub and stands for press photographs with a pint in one hand and a cigarette in the other gets my attention. I tend to judge people in part by who their enemies are. His are all the right kind, which is to say lefties.

Good news. :)
Will be useful for everyone to compare notes.
Just a shame he won’t be able to grill Barry whilst he is there, people would pay money to watch that.

Britain is not America. UKIP takes stands for same sex marriage, abortion, etc., that is more akin to US libertarianism than US conservatism. This conservative gathering will probably, as usual, set aside social conservative differences to accommodate Farage.

Farage frequently is a call in guest on Laura Ingraham’s talk show. It’s very likely he will be putting in a guest shot this week to talk about his CPAC adventure.

Consider this: Britain leaves the EU and then the immigrants aren’t coming from East Europe but from Pakistan.

No USIP in America—if a third Party must be formed—it must come from the ranks of the Tea Party. A Name? The Liberty Party—symbol, the Liberty Bell. Animal Mascot: The Grizzle Bear, Motto “Don’t Tread on Me.” Goal: Return America to her glory—an America where the Flag isn’t seen as something offensive! Projected platform:
1. Close the Border—air tight! let Trump build his wall.
2. English Only
3. No more Welfare—only workfare.
4. Increase the Military!
5. Build a new Mount Rushmore with Reagans face.
6. End the IRS—15% Flat Tax for all.
7. End the “Global Warming” farce!

I’m quite sure that the OBAMA administration will consider this as another slap in the face of OBAMA. Just as the invitation of Bibi Netanyahu was a slap in the the face for OBAMA and his democrat worshippers of OBAMA.

To me...I am voting for a fiscal conservative in 2016. I’m more of a social libertarian.

End Common Core and Cut the Departments of Education and Transportation. Term limits, too.
