The founder of the website "Free Republic", Jim Robinson, has joined a growing boycott of the CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) due to a homosexual activist group sponsoring the event.
GOProud, a group that advocates same-sex "marriage," a repeal of the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy, and "expanding access to domestic partner benefits" for homosexuals, is listed as a sponsor of the event at CPAC's website.
Mr. Robinson has joined a number of conservative activists including Liberty University Chancellor Jerry Falwell, Jr., Liberty Counsel founder and chairman Mat Staver, and Gary Glenn, president of the American Family Association of Michigan in their efforts.
On a reply to an article about the boycott, Mr. Robinson stated "Ill join that boycott. If CPAC is no longer for conservative family values then I want nothing to do with them. Theyll have to change their name to HOMOPAC."
exactly
I never had a problem with them and still do not while they go about their business privately like they tell us it is.
It was when they started to barge into churches, get into our faces, tell our children that they should have their agenda accepted.
I had to live up in MA for a bit and there’s a place called blue hills.
I took the kids up there for a hike and I swear that was the day I opened my eyes and saw how they really were.
Men everywhere lurking behind trees to meet other men to have sex.
It was bizarre.
It got so bad with homosexuals having sex in public toilets and the woods that they had to close the place down at night and now have cops patrolling there.
That is where I have a problem with them
They tell me it is their private business and then go public with it, well they can’t have it both ways
you best tell Bob on this thread as it seems Bob is a little behind on what is going on.
He calls a conservative an ass on here because they pointed out about him and yet has no problem with homosexuals and their agenda
that’s horrible! I’ve always wanted to go to Seychelles! I heard it was beautiful.
eh, who needs CPAC...we got SarahPAC. :)
Grover Norquist never ran CPAC.
“He calls a conservative an ass on here because they pointed out about him and yet has no problem with homosexuals and their agenda”
I called him an ass because he has no idea what he is talking aout.
He’s just talking out his ass.
When did being a conservative change to mean adhering to fundamentalist Christian doctrine?
I'd say since the Declaration of American Independence and our Constitution were drawn up.
Is this another scazafava moment?

I don’t have a big problem with homosexuals being a part of the “conservative” movement, so long as they don’t bring over the homosexual agenda. (Yes, I know of such homosexuals). But this group sounds like a bunch of flaming crybabies!
CPAC has been allowing to much politics outside the traditional mainstream conservative agenda in recent years. Neocons and liberaltarians for Willard, John Birch Society kooks and militant homosexual advocacy groups do not help to promote conservatism.
Incredible.
If you had a son or daughter who is a thief you would still love the son or daughter but would you overlook it if the son or daughter held up a bank?
Does one have to condone or even be in on the robbery to prove your maxim justified?
“Thomas Jefferson owned over 600 slaves.”
“Wythe provided for his slaves, Lydia Broadnax and her son Michael Brown, in his will. The will also contained a provision for Brown's education. Jefferson biographer Fawn M. Brodie has alleged Broadnax was Wythe’s concubine, and Brown was his son. Wythe’s other heir, his grand-nephew, George Wythe Sweeney, decided to avoid this dilution of his fortune by poisoning the slaves with arsenic. In the process, he killed Wythe as well, though Wythe lingered long enough to change his will to eliminate his bequest to his murderer. In Sweeney's trial he was acquitted of murder in Virginia, primarily because of a law that forbade the testimony of black witnesses, a law Wythe ironically had himself penned.”
“A Virginia planter, Georg Mason owned many black slaves.”
Edmund Pendleton, while not a slave owner as being born of modest means, did have this to say...”The kings representatives in the colony hath not only withheld all the powers of government from operating for our safety, but, having retired on board an armed ship, is carrying on a piratical and savage war against us tempting our slaves by every artifice to resort to him, and training and employing them against their masters.”
Hmmm. So according to your advice, we should all be keeping slaves or at least pass laws to keep them from testifying in court, you know, because our founding fathers were right, correct and moral in any opinion they held 200+ years ago. Do you have any idea how stupid you can look when you use the "founding fathers" as support when you venture outside the realm of anything non constitutional construction? No, I'm sure you don't.
BTW - It does not surpise me you are FR’s biggest Palin supporter.
The little wee Scotch Irish week folk Brownies are house fairies, you see.
You go Jim! Steele, GOP, CPAC are all trying to be the “big tent”. Newt, and other so called conservatives, have hijacked CPAC and are turning it into Democrat lite!
I thought that Jim Robinson was our biggest Palin supporter here at FR.
Thanks Jim. I stand with you on this homo issue. Homo desecrates the land, maybe even other areas not yet known to us.
Hey Manc...I saw that Rubio is one of the featured speakers at CPAC 2010...does this change your view of him in any way? (not a snarky question, want a real Floridian opinion)...magritte
Am I in trouble?
