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."

CPAC ceased to be conservative when they let Newt through the door.

Between this homo-advocacy group and the John Birch Society it appears that CPAC has been subverted by infiltration of the enemy. Who is running this group and why are they committing suicide?
To: icwhatudo; Jim Robinson
Ping!
With you all the way.

CPAC should know better than to allow this.
It makes a statement about the organization that is unacceptable.
This group is seeking to purchase legitimacy. CPAC should not be a party to that. It has telegraphed that it is willing to be.
Big mistake!

We need more conservative leaders like Jim who are willing to tell it like it is. Other than Jim and Sarah Palin, we’re pretty much at a standstill.
To: icwhatudo
Any news on Jim Thompson’s stance?

Obviously there must be a RINO running the organization so they should call themselves RINOPAC.

Outstanding Jim Rob! This is a vital leg to conservatism. What’s up with CPAC? There’s no need for a Log Cabin wing.
To: americanophile
It’s been rumored that he’s on-board!
