Jason Mattera is a good, competent person. The blog author is hypersensitive, and was in tears when he was told to leave. Like many weak people, he came under false pretences and attempted to disrupt a gathering of conservative youth.

The YAF conference is a brief respite for conservative youth. It is THE ONE TIME A YEAR when they can safely ESCAPE socialists and sex activists. Apparently the left thinks these kids are not entitled to a break from the socialists' constant bombardment of leftist nonsense.

Do you not think conservative kids are entitled to an annual retreat?

I am glad to hear your assurances re:Mr. Mattera. I have no doubts about the "hypersensitivity" of the blogger in this case. I am fully aware that many of those on the other side of the aisle voraciously seek out opportunities to be insulted - real or not. And I agree that he may well have been at the conference for reasons other than he stated. Perhaps disruption, perhaps to seek every chance to paint the proceedings in a less than favorable light.
I do feel that this person, the blogger, should have been dealt with in a different, and possibly more creative and less overtly aggressive, manner.
It is this that prompted my comments on Mr. Matteras' actions.

"Do you not think conservative kids are entitled to an annual retreat?"

This question is irrelevant to my comment.
