We can see where this is headed with libertarians attempting to redefine conservatism. Next up: courting the pro-aborts.
Send bucks to individual candidates.

I don’t think so. The new chairman has distanced himself (unless he changed his mind today) and CPAC from the GOproud crowd. He was disgusted with the behavior and alarmed by conservative groups ‘friends’ that did not attend this year. He sounds like he gets it.
Further, although it wasn’t really publicized, Scott Magill wrote an op-ed piece in the Washington Times. An absolutely outstanding piece regarding the recent leftward shift and what being conservative is about.
Here’s the link:

As I said it’s a fantastic article.
Hopefully the newly selected chairman will clean house starting with that mole Norquist.
It’s a good read, thanks for the link.
Some of the comments that follow are telling with those who disagree with Magill using the usual left-wing tactic of leveling personal attacks. Rather than disagreeing and stating why, it’s the same fundamentally immature derision and name calling employed by democrats in an attempt to bully people into submission to their agenda.
That it is. Thanx for the link.
Seems there are some patriots who are not about to sit by and let the sodomites take over C-PAC.
We'll be watchin' fer the purge.

You do not need a special group like GOProud for gays to be accepted in the GOP. People normally tend to treat other people with dignity and respect. Get rid of a special organization and recognition because homosexuality is abnormal and unnatural, introduces risk to mental and physical health. Do not pretend otherwise!
There’s a weird logic here. With the collapse of cultural Christianity, and Christian true-believers fragmented and distrustful of each other, a secular pro-sodomy candidate who’s a fiscal conservative and nominally anti-abortion could steal the show. Trump is positioning himself like this. Is Palin? Who else?
When it was revealed that this individual supported this abnormality group, I stopped going to the sight, breibert.com and will never again. They are using this abnormality to destroy society. Read, “The Pink Swaztika”, the plan has not stopped. There is no future with this abonormal behavior except for the power elite.
CPAC sucks.
Apparently so.
I’m reminded of northeast liberals who can’t make the cut in the crowded field of the Democratic Party so try to make a name for themselves as Republicans. I know that their agenda is more insidious than that but yeah, it’s sucking.
I’m disappointed but not surprised that Breitbart has jumped on the GOProud bandwagon.
I will stop visiting his sites after CPAC is over. For now, I’m just watching this spectacle unfold.
Here’s another emotionally stunted report coming out of CPAC involving GOProud:
Reason.tv Liberal in Bed, Conservative in the Head: Sophie B. Hawkins, Andrew Breitbart, Michael Steele, at the Big Gay Party
Has the conservative movement become a champion of gay rights? Is gun-owning, lesbian singer Sophie B. Hawkins of Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover fame a liberal in bed and conservative in the head?
Last night, Reasons Michael Moynihan dropped by the Big Gay Party, a celebration of the role of the conservative movement in advocating for gay rights, which was hosted by conservative gay group GOProud and new media mogul Andrew Breitbart. The party was part of the festivities surrounding the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), which was boycotted by some conservatives because of GOProuds participation.
Breathless drinks at midnight ping.
Well, as the old adage goes: Politics makes for queer bedfellows....
GOPproud must be the successor to Log Cabin Republicans. A conservative once wrote that he knew they were in the room when somebody approached him and offered to fix the dimple in his necktie.
To be “proud” because of the manner by which one has sex. Yuk.
Last year was the first year I noticed that the Pro-Life message among younger people at CPAC seemed to be starting to wane, and that it was becoming a heavily “Libertarian” event, with an odd influx of the tattooed and pierced type.
Roger L Simon: "...With sexy Sophie B. Hawkins singing to a boisterous, supportive crowd, the party almost obliterated in one night the conception that Republicans are anti-gay and gave the impression that young libertarians -- and some not so young -- are taking over the GOP... Does this indeed mean that libertarianism in its various strains is taking over the GOP? Again, that is possibly wishful thinking (and I wouldn't want it to be that brand of libertarianism that seems to think the common defense can be accomplished with BB guns in someone's garage)... I've hardly heard much talk of abortion or other social issues at the conference -- and when I have it seems vaguely discordant or anachronistic. Most people wanted to discuss the economy or the looming dangers of the Muslim Brotherhood. And, of course, who would be best to put Barack Obama out of office.And redecorating. The White House needs a makeover.
I have been telling everyone here that the republicans have this one last chance... every last TRUE CONSERVATIVE that I know is just about ready to pull the plug on the gop. I am sharpening stakes and putting together a vampire killing kit... because it appears we will have to take the fudgepacklicans the way of the Whigs. Iamaboutthisclose to ending my lifelong association with the republican party.
huckaromnewtpawthune and company SUCK! ABORTION IS MURDER... BEING GAY IS A SIN AGAINST GOD AND NATURE... FREEDOM AND LIBERTY ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN PAID BILLS AND WELFARE HANDOUTS... AND GOD IS WATCHING!

Breitbart's reach and opposition research operation is much wider than evidenced by his family of web sites and it's hilarious to watch the tsk tskers in this thread who probably idolize a certain conservative talk show host that Breitbart's operation is closely tied to.
Who would that certain conservative talk host be?
