The Right's Right - negative review of CPAC
Tech Central Station ^ | February 21, 2005 | Ryan Sager

Posted on 02/21/2005 5:07:43 PM PST by EveningStar

Welcome to the furthest right reaches of the right: the Conservative Political Action Conference, or CPAC for short. Here, evolution is a wild hypothesis, "Log Cabin Republican" is a slur and young women know they have to wear short skirts to get ahead.

Thursday through Saturday, young conservatives and established Republican activists got together in Washington, D.C., for the annual ritual of meeting, greeting, sitting and eating together in service of "the movement." Young activists were groomed, contacts were made and the Republican machine hummed along.

Needless to say, triumphalism permeated the proceedings. The Republicans, having just held the presidency and consolidated power in Congress, are perhaps entitled to some gloating. But out-and-out arrogance was the order of the conference, as well, and that is what threatens to undo Republican gains in the long term.

It would be good to hear from the folks who were at CPAC. I wasn't there.

It sounds to me like this guy really has an axe to grind and that whatever good points he may have are drowned in a sea of hyperbole.

"Log Cabin Republican" is a slur

The Log Cabin is a trojan horse designed to get the Republican Party to embrace the radical gay activist agenda -- they're non-endorsement of President Bush demonstrates that their single issue is more important to them than the party and conservatism.

Only a liberal would be upset at conservatives exercising their First Amendment rights to speak and assemble freely...

This is his blog. He calls himself a libertarian conservative and he doesn't appear to be gay.

I don't think that all Log Cabin Republicans agree with one another.

I'm a conservative Republican and I have some views that would be considered libertarian, however this guy's tone turned me off.

I was there.

The only thing short about the skirts was the supply of them. It was so damn cold and windy that most women wore pants.

"The Log Cabin is a trojan horse.."

Nothing Trojan about them (no pun intended). They've been gay advocates since before the word gay was perverted.

I walked into one of the hospitality rooms at a convention in the early 70s not knowing what they were (or what gay meant).

The food was good until I finally caught on to what they were trying to explain to me they were.

I was there, and loved it. Sure, you have all sorts across the spectrum of the right. I don't agree with Pat Buchanan, but I sure want his views expressed in my party.

The booths were great---FR had two different booths there, one national and one D.C. with a guy in pajamas.

By the way, although I'm in my 50s, I have to say that Republican women are quite beautiful on the whole. I can't imagine any Dem get together had half this many hotties.
