Take a stroll through CPAC's exhibition hall this year and between the proffered candy, bumper stickers and key rings you can't help overhearing some heated debates. At the end of the first row of exhibitors, next to the National Rifle Association, is a booth for the American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property.
“That's a lot of things to be worried about,” I remarked to the booth attendee.
“Yes,” he said smiling, “we have a lot of fingers in a lot of pies.”
These days, the group is particularly concerned with gays in the military. Beyond opposing the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell, the organization of lay Catholics would like to see all homosexuals banned from the military, according to a white and green pamphlet they were handing out....
...a woman approached the booth. Catherine Sumner, it turned out, was part of GOProud, a group of openly gay Republicans and conservatives that for the first time is taking part in CPAC. “Is this your flyer?” Sumner demanded, waving the white and green pamphlet. Thus launched a debate about gays in the military that pretty much ended when the booth attendee told her that homosexuality is a sin and she's going to hell.
“It's insulting,” Sumner, 31, who edits a military magazine, said turning away. “Across the board the reaction to GOProud's presence here has been positive, but then you have guys like this. Even Dick Cheney came out and says he supports us. Conservatives have to be more inclusive, they have to be.”...

inclusive in one thing accepting a bunch of homosexuals is not inclusive it is sick
there is no where and anywhere that conservatives have wanted two of the same sex to be married and neither does most of this country
if they want to make this an issue then we shall and let it be known what homosexuals are all about and we;ll show them at their parades and fairs on AD’s so the country can see what they really are like
Exactly. “It's insulting,” [waah] ... “Across the board the reaction to GOProud's presence here has been positive [editorial comment 'BS'], but then you have guys like this" ... "Conservatives have to be more inclusive, they have to be.”...
Oh put a sock in it Catherine. We don't have to do anything. Conservatives don't talk like this, socialists do. What do the lyrics "Home of the Free" mean to you?
Jim Robinson sniffed this out immediately: Free Republic Founder Joins Boycott Of CPAC. Bully for you Jim!
AMEN!!! Hey GAYS...JOIN THE LIBERTARIAN PARTY!!! Thank you!!
Yeah, the only important thing is money. Morality can just go to hell, right?
PS - social conservatives win big in elections, you don’t know that?
Not all latent. The only explanation is that the higher ups echelon of the GOP is larded with sexual perverts.
Much more of this and the Repubs are going to find that they have lost a huge number of voters.
exactly
they know that we’re a bigger party so they are registering on here and getting booths at CPAC
I say we let it be known at CPAC that we stand for traditional marriage and not for the homosexual agenda and the queers there can get their booth and piss off and leave this site too
”A political party cannot be all things to all people. It must represent certain fundamental beliefs, which must not be compromised to political expediency, or simply to swell numbers ..." President Ronald Reagan
Truthfully, what others do in their homes is none of your business. What they do in the bedroom is between them and God and you’re not God.
And don’t pull that YOU’RE NOT A CONSERVATIVE. I am and Catholic.
The party will lose and it will come about because some people think they have the right to determine the life of others.
And come on, you’re going to announce to the world that homosexuals have parades and people aren’t aware of that so you’re going to expose them?
You’re about 20 years too late on that.
If conservatives don't know what principles they stand for they will fall for anything (and make no mistake they will fall). It is simply not enough to oppose Obama, one must subscribe to a principled set of reasons for opposition or support. If the big tent embraces the sodomites, it leaves out the Biblical Christians. The party cannot be all things to all people, but it can lead and bring people to the party, if it can articulate a consistent platform founded upon an unchanging and self aware epistemology, metaphysic and ethic. Reagan was morally opposed to the pink brigade and abortion and yet he won big! The big tent had three poles that supported it including: morality (both personal and public), limited government and a strong national defense. It is the pragmatism of compromise and the big tent strategies of Dole and McCain that will keep the Dems in the seat of power.
No more socialist calling themselves republicans, no more lost in the morass of moral relativism, no more pragmatic pantywaists - give us men of integrity to principle or the GOP will be actively participating in the destruction of the republic and their own party.
utter crap
you call yourself catholic and your for homosexuals
utter crap
as for them in their bedroom ,they’re sick and mentally ,messed up
so before you come on here and call yourself a conservative then ask yourself how the hell can a man want to stick his dick up another mans ass?
it’s sick and twisted just as a woman wearing a strap on pretending to be a man
you might have missed Jims notes but this site is not for the homosexuals to pus their agenda nor is it for their mentally messed up friends
yes as for parades, the majority have no clue like folsom fair what goes on in their sick parades but it will be aired on AD;s I can tell you that if they want to make this an issue
nail on head
conservatives have always stood for traditional families not some sick twisted view of it
it’s time for conservatives to take as stand against them and stop them posting on here and getting into the GOP
the majority of this country does not want their agenda and they will lose if the queers make this an issue
ping to post 30
Don’t pull this “some people think they have the right to determine the life of others” bullshit. That’s nonsense and you know it.
When homosexuals kept their perverted, unhealthy, sickening sex lives to themselves, no one knew or cared.
Now they’re forcing “gay” sex education in schools, replete with instructions on how to fist and commit the grossest of unhealthy practices to kids in middle schools, they want domestic partnerships, they want marriage, they want to be openly homosexual in the military, they want others to be forced to listen to and study in so-called sensitivity training in schools, universities, corporations, government agencies and so on.
They want hate speech laws so no one can say anything negative about their lifestyle and their agenda, hate crimes so beating up a homosexual is a worse crime than beating up someone’s old grandpa, they force foster parents to recognize “gay” kids and attend weeks of “gay” sensitivity classes, judges in CA who are members of the BSA must excuse themselves from any case involving “gays” while a homosexual judge can sit on the case involving “gay” marriage - how bout this?
The above list - and there’s a lot more - is all about homosexual activists FORCING others to bend to their will. They are the ones who want to “determine the lives of others”.
Enough crap and lies from you.

Thanks
It’s the simple truth.
The cry for “tolerance” really means “We want total dominance over every aspect of society and beat you all into submission and silence!”
You’re deluded if you think that you’re not determining others lifestyles. You’re not only determining them you’re purposely working to limit them.
You’re also ‘round the bend with the “when they kept their “perverted, unhealthy,sickening sex lives to themselves no one knew or cared.” Sure they knew and some cared. Some ended up dead, murdered. Which is why we have hate laws.
I’m not addressing the rest of your controlling rant because this could go on forever and I’m not really interested in trying to change your hardened heart.
I hope you can find it in your heart to stop or at least smother your virulent hatred toward gays because, ultimately, it will only hurt you.
Like it or not, they are God’s children.
Over and out.
I’ve say this and then I’’m finished.
Anyone who has such hatred toward the gays it seems to be so strong that it’s disturbing.
You know what they, you do protest too much. Think about that.
