GOProud Party Breitbart’s Proudest Hour

The party staged by Andrew Breitbart for GOProud — the gay Republican and conservative group — was as close to a game changer as things get and the most interesting event at CPAC by far, at least to this point — and that’s meant as no insult to CPAC. With sexy Sophie B. Hawkins singing to a boisterous, supportive crowd, the party almost obliterated in one night the conception that Republicans are anti-gay and gave the impression that young libertarians — and some not so young — are taking over the GOP. Pretty soon it may be cool to be a Republican and square to be a Democrat.

Well, maybe that’s what I wanted to see and wanted to feel, but the atmosphere was certainly there Thursday night at DC’s Eighteenth Street Lounge. People wandered the club’s corridors in wonderment at it all. No, there weren’t any leather biker studs or other accoutrements of the more outre gay scene, but there was as much acceptance of our modern world as at Democratic Party events, especially national ones of the scope of CPAC.

Does this indeed mean that libertarianism in its various strains is taking over the GOP? Again, that is possibly wishful thinking (and I wouldn’t want it to be that brand of libertarianism that seems to think the common defense can be accomplished with BB guns in someone’s garage), but there are indications across CPAC. Again, maybe this is anecdotal, but I’ve hardly heard much talk of abortion or other social issues at the conference — and when I have it seems vaguely discordant or anachronistic. Most people wanted to discuss the economy or the looming dangers of the Muslim Brotherhood. And, of course, who would be best to put Barack Obama out of office.

I think that you underestimate the number of libertarians in the Tea Party movement. Yeah, they claim to support the constitution, but it is their interpretation of the constitution, not ours.

What is this "libertarian... interpretation of the constitution"? They aren't your enemies, Eva.

Libertarians don't want to put conservatives in jail for their views like the statists do. Libertarians don't want their tax money going for abortion or gays or stupid foreign aid or research in monkey sex any more than you do!

*Think* about people's motivations. Then you can decide who your allies are. You don't have to agree with your allies 100%, but they can enable you to do more than you ever could with your own forces alone.

The libertarians can help us get big government off all our backs and push FedGov back into its enumerated powers under the Constitution.

That solves so many problems! How can you have the "gay agenda" at the Federal level if they have no MONEY or PEOPLE to promote it? How can the FedGov fund abortion if there is NO MONEY for it?

If we conservatives can get some help from our libertarian cousins, we ALL can get big government off our back. That's a starting point to many good things.

Flame away.

"The leftists have permeated every sector in our society; "

Ann Coulter should be a primary source. "Joe McCarthy was right." Nixon was right. Nefarious commies permeate every aspect of American life. It's only to be expected. For the most part they live a life of lies, can't rationalize their behavior, need to hide.

Most recently we have the case of Greek communist Arianna Huffington and her sodomite husband. They penetrated the Republican party to the highest levels. Upon exposure, they had to admit their socialist ideology.

Today, conservatives are not deceived, all sodomites are Democrats. There is only one party for perverts, Democrats. Anything else is subterfuge.

Remember McCarthy!! PURGE THE PARTY

How can you have the "gay agenda" at the Federal level if they have no MONEY or PEOPLE to promote it?

Through the courts. Haven't you been watching?

I am ignorant.WOW If one has no problem with then homosexual agenda as like him then he is for having fisting being taught in schools. Yes Jennings has taught fisting in schools Homosexuals want their version of sex taught in schools and yes it does go on in places like MA Being fiscal conservative but socially liberal is hardly conservative is it. So the question is do you think the homosexual agenda of don't ask, marriage, getting kids, being taught in schools etc is conservative? A simple yes or no will suffice

[manc]

as for your other paragraph

---

So you believe Breitbart should be told, “Piss off, we don’t need your help in the media anymore. Take your ACORN-busting network and your exposes on vote fraud elsewhere, we don’t need you, queer boy.” Enjoy your stay in the Concentration Camp for Conservatives once this country falls to Communism.

---

a little melodramatic aren’t you, I would expect that off homosexuals but come on this is a conservative site socially and fiscal.

[manc]

utter crap.

libertarians are socially liberal , hell they’re more liberal than most Dems
Even Dems have a problem with consenting incest or a father marrying his daughter.
It is time for them to find their own convention.

[manc]

I think the poster has not and he says I am ignorant

WOW

[manc]

good post
libertarians need to stop using our conventions and site for them to push their liberal social issues.

[DJ MacWoW]

Depends upon if they are a liberaltarian. They want to stay asleep.

What is happening and has happened is real simple to conclude -no theoretical analysis is necessary. I would suggest it is at worst but progressive wishful thinking to conclude the conservative movement is changing and or has changed and it is at best defeatist thinking to conclude libertarians are taking over the conservative movement. The conservative movement remains -the tea party exists simply because the GOP has been corrupted by progressives.

Who better than the morally devoid libertarians to form a coalition with the morally bankrupt RINOs?

What is the difference between these progressives and the left? Not much, they may say different things; however, they both pursue the same destructive path for to America.

[Antoninus]

Yep. Breitbart will now be thrown to the dogs on FR, just like Sarah Palin has been. It's too bad that we can't even tell who our allies are.

An ally does not try to force you to accept something that every fiber of your being screams is wrong.

On this issue, Breitbart has shown himself to be completely out to lunch. It should make you question his other positions and where he might sell us out next. That's usually how these things go.

[DBeers]

This is going to be a great thread. Breitbart, who has arguably done more to advance and defend conservatism over the past few years than the supposedly conservative Republican Party, is now going to be FR's enemy # 1

It should be self evident that Breitbart advances Breitbart -period. THAT is the only consistency I see with the fool.

He is not about principles, he is about ego...

[Antoninus]

Obviously, it is not known by me but I will look it up. If you are right it will, of course, change my mind.

Their positions in favor of the homosexual agenda on every level have been posted on here multiple times. The homosexual agenda is the exact opposite of the conservative agenda. GOProud's support of fiscal issues is nothing more than a beard. Their purpose is to make the GOP "gay friendly" and to push social conservatives who won't accept them out of the tent.

They have already started calling people who disagree with them "hateful bigots."

If the GOP is stupid enough to fall for this, there will be hell to pay. They will get an influx of perhaps 0.5% of the vote in exchange for an outflow of 30% of the vote to a third party or no vote at all.

[Antoninus]

Thanks for sticking with me, folks. I have done the research you suggested and I have changed my mind. You are right and I was wrong. Sorry, wita, but we lacked sufficient information.

Takes a big man to say that, M-nR. I tip my hat to you, sir.

[rambo316]

bigbovernment is one of those sights put out by breibert, right, I said that I would not go there.

Trump endorsed and vote for McCain in 2008

Palin did say she supports capping CO2 Emissions

And no, I am not gay, but am sick of seeing people like Breitbart trashed.

Someone who I agree with on probably 80% of things is not my 20% enemy.

GOProud = ConservativeLiberal = Breitbart = Nothing

[DJ MacWoW]

After a shot like this he can kiss my conservative principles.

Guess Who's Coming to CPAC? (Breitbart & Norquist Gush Over GOProud in Homosexual Publication)

...Calling this "a maturing point for the conservative movement," Breitbart minces no words: "If being conservative means rejecting gay conservatives because they are gay, then fine, I'm not a conservative."

Becoming more liberal is NOT a "maturing" point. GOProud is NOT conservative. They have a homosexual legislative agenda. If Breitbart is so smart he must know that.

Look, politics is a vile dirty business, and seems to get worse, for me, my main interest is in beating Obama. If we have to suck it up, no pun intended lol, and get a few others on board we otherwise might not like to get rid of obama, to me the trade off is worth it considering how bad this admn is.
