I’m okay with GOProud, even if I don’t agree with them on every last issue. It’s CPAC that’s jumped the shark and outed itself as sold out to Mitt Romney three years running. It’s been for sale to the highest bidder, apparently, for some time.

I think Palin had the right idea and it’s time to find a replacement for CPAC and their annual conference.

The Rockin’ QS Ranch stands firmly with Jim Robinson, and FRee Republic on this matter.

CPAC has screwed up BIG TIME.

Perhaps the Democrats can get away with standing with, and for sludge, and excrement, spinning their associations with parsed words pulled from the basket of hype, but Conservatism has always stood apart from such associations for good reason.

We are in a battle to retake our Nation. We are in a battle to retake our political party that has had its direction blurred by Leftist RINO associations. We need that Political Party to help retake this Nation from the unGodly Leftist criminals that have conned it away from us.

We need a clean and wholesome CPAC. NOT a CPAC as blurred in direction as the Republican Party RINO’s have achieved.

Whoever has made the decision to team with HOMO’s at CPAC should be looked upon with a wary eye, as one would look upon a RINO.

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.


And THAT ladies and gentlemen is exactly what is wrong with the “Big-Tent OP”

You know, if a couple of guys want to bang each other in the privacy of their own home or behind a motel room door, I could care less.

The problems start when they want society to put its stamp of approval on their behavior. They want all dissident opinions silenced. They want to take apart, brick by brick, long-held traditions that have played a major part in making this country what it is today.

Unfortunately, gay groups have been very successful in equating the defense of traditional values with intolerance and shame. People like me don’t want to eliminate homosexuals from the face of the earth, nor stop what they do in private, but we should NOT be made to feel ashamed of what we believe in, nor have those beliefs unjustly tarred as something dirty and hateful.

I don’t hate gays, but at the same time I don’t want their behavior shoved in my face and being forced to accept it either.

Hasn't it been a while since Free Republic (or perhaps it was Free Republic Network) had a booth at CPAC, anyway?

If that's the case, "boycotting" something you aren't sponsoring/attending anyway seems a bit pointless.

David A. Keene (born May 20, 1945) is the current chairman of the American Conservative Union, a position which he has held since 1984. Additionally, he is the managing associate at the Carmen Group Lobbying, a lobbying firm based in Washington, D.C. In December 2007, Keene endorsed Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign.

Keene wrote a column in support of Specter when he was running against Toomey.

Keene claims that Specter is worth supporting for his personal qualities: “I’ve known and worked with Specter for more than a decade. . . . He is honest and decent, and, unlike many of his colleagues, his word is always good.

“Arlen Specter is what we used to call a standup guy. He isn’t always with us, but when he is you can take his word to the bank. He’s willing to climb out of his foxhole and take on the opposition. . . . It may not count with many conservatives, but it counts with me.”

Keene is “a managing associate with the Carmen Group, a D.C.-based governmental affairs firm.” In other words, a lobbyist. A brief review of the lobbying-disclosure reports reveals that Keene is frequently listed as doing lobbying work that concerns the Senate Appropriations Committee: for example, lobbying on the appropriations bill that funds the Department of Labor and the Department of Health and Human Services.

David Keene To John Ziegler: “I’m Not Gonna Hit You, But I’d Like To”

John Ziegler, voracious defender of Sarah Palin against all media criticism, has turned his sights from the liberal news to conservative politicos.

In his movie “Media Malpractice: How Obama Got Elected and Palin Was Targeted,” Ziegler went after the mainstream media for perceived liberal bias and slights against the Alaska governor. This weekend at the Western Conservative Political Action Conference (WCPAC), Ziegler went after a target closer to home: David Keene, chairman of the American Conservative Union. In the end, the documentarian gets cursed at and kicked out of the conference.

Ziegler was after Keene for criticizing Palin, but he also attacked the conservative leader for supporting Sen. Arlen Specter (pre-party switch).

Keene initially agreed to a sit-down interview, but he tried to leave when the questions turned aggressive. After offering a few rebuttals he quickly gave up and resorted to name-calling. “I’m not gonna hit you, but I’d like to, because you deserve it,” Keene said at one point. Before finally freeing himself of Ziegler, he added, “You’re an asshole. You got that on the air? Asshole.”

David Keene, the chairman of the CPAC-organizing American Conservative Union and a former aide to Bob Dole, who suggested that conservatives have been frustrated with Bush for years. He said criticism of Bush was “consistent with the belief we’ve had for some time.”

On a thread like this I begin to wonder where “Hate the sin but love the sinner” begins and ends...

Hold their feet to the fire and watch them squirm. This is very good news, and Jim once again leads us where we should have been all along.

The guy running CPAC is Grover Nordquist, who married a muslim woman, appears to have converted to Islam, aided in the infiltration of numerous muslims into the White House and is more likely than not a traitor.

He also was a lobbyist for the Seychelles which is a famously notorious money laundering hub and safe retirement place for criminals. He represented them in DC for years.

Anyone who want the details and links please email me. I would love to bring down that slime ball and have been keeping track of his treason for years. Because he ran CPAC it was hard to get people to pay attention to his slime.

"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."

Right on. I'm with Jim.
