The party staged by Andrew Breitbart for GOProud the gay Republican and conservative group was as close to a game changer as things get and the most interesting event at CPAC by far, at least to this point and thats meant as no insult to CPAC. 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. Pretty soon it may be cool to be a Republican and square to be a Democrat.
Well, maybe thats what I wanted to see and wanted to feel, but the atmosphere was certainly there Thursday night at DCs Eighteenth Street Lounge. People wandered the clubs corridors in wonderment at it all. No, there werent any leather biker studs or other accoutrements of the more outre gay scene, but there was as much acceptance of our modern world as at Democratic Party events, especially national ones of the scope of CPAC.
Does this indeed mean that libertarianism in its various strains is taking over the GOP? Again, that is possibly wishful thinking (and I wouldnt want it to be that brand of libertarianism that seems to think the common defense can be accomplished with BB guns in someones garage), but there are indications across CPAC. Again, maybe this is anecdotal, but Ive 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.

What is this "libertarian... interpretation of the constitution"? They aren't your enemies, Eva.
Libertarians don't want to put conservatives in jail for their views like the statists do. Libertarians don't want their tax money going for abortion or gays or stupid foreign aid or research in monkey sex any more than you do!
*Think* about people's motivations. Then you can decide who your allies are. You don't have to agree with your allies 100%, but they can enable you to do more than you ever could with your own forces alone.
The libertarians can help us get big government off all our backs and push FedGov back into its enumerated powers under the Constitution.
That solves so many problems! How can you have the "gay agenda" at the Federal level if they have no MONEY or PEOPLE to promote it? How can the FedGov fund abortion if there is NO MONEY for it?
If we conservatives can get some help from our libertarian cousins, we ALL can get big government off our back. That's a starting point to many good things.
Flame away.
Ann Coulter should be a primary source. "Joe McCarthy was right." Nixon was right. Nefarious commies permeate every aspect of American life. It's only to be expected. For the most part they live a life of lies, can't rationalize their behavior, need to hide.
Most recently we have the case of Greek communist Arianna Huffington and her sodomite husband. They penetrated the Republican party to the highest levels. Upon exposure, they had to admit their socialist ideology.
Today, conservatives are not deceived, all sodomites are Democrats. There is only one party for perverts, Democrats. Anything else is subterfuge.
Remember McCarthy!! PURGE THE PARTY
yitbos
Through the courts. Haven't you been watching?
as for your other paragraph
a little melodramatic aren’t you, I would expect that off homosexuals but come on this is a conservative site socially and fiscal.
utter crap.
libertarians are socially liberal , hell they’re more liberal than most Dems
Even Dems have a problem with consenting incest or a father marrying his daughter.
It is time for them to find their own convention.
I think the poster has not and he says I am ignorant
WOW
good post
libertarians need to stop using our conventions and site for them to push their liberal social issues.
Depends upon if they are a liberaltarian. They want to stay asleep.
Who better than the morally devoid libertarians to form a coalition with the morally bankrupt RINOs?
What is the difference between these progressives and the left? Not much, they may say different things; however, they both pursue the same destructive path for to America.
It should be self evident that Breitbart advances Breitbart -period. THAT is the only consistency I see with the fool.
He is not about principles, he is about ego...
bigbovernment is one of those sights put out by breibert, right, I said that I would not go there.
Trump endorsed and vote for McCain in 2008

Palin did say she supports capping CO2 Emissions

And no, I am not gay, but am sick of seeing people like Breitbart trashed.
Someone who I agree with on probably 80% of things is not my 20% enemy.

GOProud = ConservativeLiberal = Breitbart = Nothing
Guess Who's Coming to CPAC? (Breitbart & Norquist Gush Over GOProud in Homosexual Publication)
...Calling this "a maturing point for the conservative movement," Breitbart minces no words: "If being conservative means rejecting gay conservatives because they are gay, then fine, I'm not a conservative."
Becoming more liberal is NOT a "maturing" point. GOProud is NOT conservative. They have a homosexual legislative agenda. If Breitbart is so smart he must know that.
Look, politics is a vile dirty business, and seems to get worse, for me, my main interest is in beating Obama. If we have to suck it up, no pun intended lol, and get a few others on board we otherwise might not like to get rid of obama, to me the trade off is worth it considering how bad this admn is.
