Free Republic Founder Joins Boycott Of CPAC
Free Republic ^ | 12-21-09

Posted on 12/21/2009 12:14:29 PM PST by icwhatudo

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 "I’ll join that boycott. If CPAC is no longer for conservative family values then I want nothing to do with them. They’ll have to change their name to HOMOPAC."

Keene’s pay to play with FedEx/UPS should have been the last straw.

I used to make out shopping lists of things to buy. Now I make out lists of things not to buy. It’s the ‘70s all over again.

It’s a shame anyone is still supporting them after that mess was exposed. CPAC is clearly not about advancing conservatives values anymore. They go only to the highest bidder.

Looks like we’ll never get that trip to CPAC together. Maybe we can go to DragonCon instead.

Jim et al.

Every party needs their useful idiots (sorry to say). Their votes count as much as ours. I’m desperate enough at this point to accept 85% of our full agenda to defeat the Socialists.

It’s not ideological purity, but it’ll have to do for now at least.

I think FAG-PAC could work pretty good too.

Proves that Sarah Palin did not miss anything when she skipped the last conference.

Then what will you think when it degrades to 60%...45%...and worse? Completely infiltrated & submerged into cesspool liberalism?
