I'm glad this article points out that GOProud isn't a conservative group. It was founded by the Log Cabin Republicans who appear in gay pride parades displaying lewd vulgar behavior and speech in public on their floats to be almost indistinguishable from their more radical counterparts. They support the same radical agenda of oppressing those who disagree with them. They may want to keep their money but they still want to be in your face.
“If they are not conservative, Sorba asked, “What are they doing at CPAC?” “
OK Keene, splain it!
It was good to see the article point out that the previous speaker had spent time praising CPAC for inviting the homosexual activists. That was edited out of most videos about Sorba. What was left out was the fact that the booing started before Sorba had even begun to speak. It takes guts to speak out for what you believe in and, although he seemed a little rattled, I’m proud of what Sorba did. Just as I am proud of what the Marine general did yesterday speaking out against allowing open homosexuals in the military.
I’ve been to CPAC previously (though its been a while).
CPAC has never been the conservative mecca that some have billed it as. It tends to draw more blue-blood country-club-type Republicans — the type of conservative that looks down on social conservatism as dragging the movement down. The speakers are often good ... but the attendees are often Washington-insider types that are well out-of-touch with true outside-of-the-beltway conservatism.

Good article, but I have to take exception to one item.
>These “radical regimes,” such as the Christian-dominated government in Uganda, are trying to prevent the spread of AIDS and protect traditional moral values by toughening laws against homosexuality.
I am no fan of the gay agenda, but I would like to point out that Uganda’s proposed anti-homosexual law does not protect traditional moral values in any way that I or any reasonable Christian would find moral: it legislates the EXECUTION of homosexuals. Which is very much in line with the Islamofascist playbook.
The words conservative and libertarian shouldn’t even be used in the same sentence, as it might give one the impression that they agree with one another on social issues.
The Cato Institute is nothing about a libertarian “stink tank”. If you’re not familiar with the official Libertarian Party Platform on “personal relationships”, here it is:
1.3 Personal Relationships
“Sexual orientation, preference, gender, or gender identity should have no impact on the rights of individuals by government, such as in current marriage, child custody, adoption, immigration or military service laws. Consenting adults should be free to choose their own sexual practices and personal relationships. Government does not have the authority to define, license or restrict personal relationships.”
If you want to talk about Ron Paul and his opinion on the above subject, I have a taped interview of him with a member of the Constitution Party. It’s not pretty.
Homosexuals
Grover Norquist islamists
The Mitt Romney GOP
Ron Paulistas
That's not conservatism. That's a freak show.
And don’t forget the personal corruption of Keene. Keene’s selling of CPAC endorsements is why Sarah Palin did not attend.
Why did people think Sarah Palin (wisely) avoided CPAC like the plague this year.
