"CPAC is my kind of people...I'm truly honored and flattered to be able to speak at CPAC as their keynote speaker on February 20th" -- Glenn Beck, 1/13/10
Glenn Beck will be Closing Keynote Speaker at CPAC 2010!
Glenn Beck is the Keynote Speaker at CPAC 2010 (YouTube video runs 2:41 minutes)
Also...
Where did anyone say that? I didn't. As to the rest of your post, address what I actually SAID.
As an aside, I consider myself intelligent enough that if the camels nose is in the tent I could recognize it.
It’s kind of like forming an opinion on a person before you ever meet them, because someone badmouthed them.
I will form my own opinion AFTER I attend, not because a minor sponsor doesn’t agree with my values.
CPAC keeps GOProud, loses other sponsor (Liberty Law School Withdraws Sponsorship)
Liberty University Law School has withdrawn as a co-sponsor of next month's Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Washington because a Republican homosexual activist group is being allowed to co-sponsor the event.
No, I could better judge your morals and character though.
Letting the homos become sponsors of CPAC is no different that letting them into the Boy and Girl Scout. This BS did not allow it and the GS did. The BS are still honorable and the GS are run by lesbians.
You are saying that one or two fire ant mounds in the yard are okay and denying that more will spring up. I am saying don’t allow any. That is the difference between us.
I can see the folly of inserting my hand into boiling water without ever having done so and don’t care what somebody who would stick their hand in said water has to say.
I kind of understand the issue with “conservative muslims”. I’m not on board with that criticism, simply because I happen to know a couple of conservative muslims who have served our country, well enough that I don’t believe the criticism of wanting to take over our way of life applies to them. But I see the culture war, I see the continued emphasis on the concept of overcoming countries with sharia law, and I wonder what place that has in the conservative community.
It’s the attack on anything considered “non-Christian” that bothers me. We appear to have at least overcome the evangelical/Catholic conflict (although I imagine some Catholics here would disagree with that assessment). Being close friends with several Mormons, I find the Mormon bashing absurd, on a political level (I’m not talking about the religion forums here, obviously there will be sharp disagreements about the various religions there).
Personally, I think the Mormon thing is really just an extension of the Mitt Romney hatred. Until Sarah Palin came along, I had always held out hope that if Romney managed to convince enough people to win a primary, we could overcome the Romney hate here.
But with Sarah Palin around, I pretty much have written off Romney as ever being viable. If Palin is doing well, nobody would bother with Romney, and if she doesn’t do well, the Mitt-haters would just blame him for it (because he is the most powerful sorcerer on the face of the earth, except for the part where he can’t win a primary).
Anyway, while I’d love to elect people who practice my brand of religion, I have long since been comfortable voting for other religious people — most of the best conservatives I vote for are Catholic.
The only premise you have proved is that you don't have a clue about which you speak.
You never bought a Gatorade drink. You always thought it was a great idea that a product would rehydrate thirst and replace electrolytes after a hard workout. However, you believed it was just too expensive to try even once, even though you really liked the idea.Somebody told you they bought Gatorade five years ago, and they liked it a lot. But a few of your friends never bought another Gatorade in the past five years--and they never told you why. You never gave it any thought, because you believed Gatorade was too expensive anyway.
Today, Gatorade has entered into a sponsorship with a golfer. You hate golf. Your friend who bought and drank a Gatorade five years ago doesn't like golf much either. It doesn't matter that football players and tennis players drink Gatorade at every game and match, runners and gardeners drink Gatorade to quench their thirst, as they have for many years. Golf entered into a Gatorade sponsorship for an event, and you know that golf is a four-letter word.
You decide you will positively never, ever drink Gatorade now. You never did buy a single Gatorade before, but you certainly will never drink Gatorade because today they have a golf sponsor. You are beginning to feel proud of yourself, touting, "I never drank a Gatorade before. Those of you who drank Gatorade aren't morally pure and golf-free clean like me."
You now feel that everyone who drinks Gatorade is crazy. You call for a boycott! Your friend agrees that a boycott is a great idea, even though they hardly remember what Gatorade tastes like after five years.
Stamp out golfers! Stamp out Gatorade! You insult everyone who drinks Gatorade because everyone should hate golf. Golf and Gatorade both begin with the letter "G". You begin to suspect that all words beginning with the letter "G" are bad too. Gardening and guns are next. You don't have a garden and you don't own a gun. Gardening and guns are expensive to buy and maintain. You call for a boycott! And so it begins again...
I quoted you. I proved you wrong. Get over it.
You haven’t proved anything more than your ignorance on the subject. Get over it.
CPAC is now letting the camel in the tent. You support them if you want. The rest of us see it differently.
Have a good day.
Ignorance wins.

Amen.....and I'm getting a little sick of camels lol
If this camel stuck her nose under a tent, it might knock the pancake off her head.
Hey, you're the one who brought up dogfights and performing abortions in post #119. Last I checked, this was suppossed to be a thread about Glenn Beck being the closing keynote speaker at CPAC.
Letting the homos become sponsors of CPAC is no different that letting them into the Boy and Girl Scout. This BS did not allow it and the GS did. The BS are still honorable and the GS are run by lesbians.
When the lesbians start running CPAC, I can assure you I won't be attending CPAC anymore.
Thank you, estrogen. You are one of the few Voices of Reason on this thread. The misinformation and fears of a gay/lesbian/RINO/JBS/military-hating takeover of CPAC posted on this thread are nothing short of staggering.
ROTFLOL!
Wow, they got to meet Justice Thomas?! I'm envious. ;-)
How wonderful for Fr. Putka and those 40 Univ of Dayton students!
In post #76 you labeled me a "liberal" and a "homosexual supporter", now I'm "nutty" and "fruity". Hey, you're getting creative now!
I noticed there's a real purty picture of a camel in #174. :o)

Strictly speaking, "FR" as a corporate entity (Free Republic LLC) never participated in CPAC. Certain groups of Freepers (the Free Republic Network, the DC Chapter) did participate at various times, using their own funds, but to my knowledge no money from FR itself supported these efforts.
