It’s too bad. CPAC was very supportive of FR in FR’s early years, and likewise FR supported CPAC. The last time I attended CPAC was as a guest. Those days are gone for now.

[Servant of the Cross]

This is not Ronald Reagan's CPAC.

Exactly. This is Grover Norquist's CPAC. A 'big tent' of the gOp establishment, radical homo and islam activists pretending to be moderates.

[kristinn]

This is the culmination of several years of grumbling about CPAC’s direction away from conservatism. Good call by SAS.

[kristinn]

...and Brent Bozell.

[McGruff]

I go where Sarah Palin goes. And it ain't there if I remember correctly.

>>>>>A 'big tent' of the gOp establishment, radical homo and islam activists pretending to be moderates.

same same... DC neocons, beltway libertarians and liberal Republican elitists. In the 70`s we called them Rockefeller Republicans. The Romney's, Giuliani's and Scott Brown's of todays GOP.

[Servant of the Cross]

Good call by SAS.

I can't resist linking the 'good call' by JimRob last year to these threads: Free Republic Founder Joins Boycott Of CPAC.

"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."

I frankly don't care what they do, as long as its not shoved in my face, and that is not the case with the gay agenda. Its not recognized as a group of Conservatives, which is how I identify myself. Its always “gay” conservatives, “gay” rights, its identity politics and I frankly am sick of it.

I feel the same way about anyone that uses that ploy, like its a special marker of some sort.

I do not say I am a female Conservative. Or a baby boomer Conservative, or a Mommy Conservative. Or a hyphenated Conservative...I'm sick of it all.

Thanks much!!

You’re very welcome

I’m not going to condemn any one for speaking there. Thanks for the list though.

Wow, when you’ve lost The Heritage Foundation...

And Bozell.
I would say CPAC is toast. It committed suicide.
