CPAC un-invites American Atheists
Politico ^ | 02/25/2014 | NATALIE VILLACORTA

The Conservative Political Action Conference has rescinded its permission for American Atheists, a nonprofit that protects the civil rights of atheists, to sponsor an information booth at the conservative gathering next month.

“American Atheists misrepresented itself about their willingness to engage in positive dialogue and work together to promote limited government,” said CPAC spokesperson Meghan Snyder in an email.

But revoking American Atheists’ booth wasn’t enough to appease some conservative groups angered by the invitation itself.

Media Research Center President Brent Bozell said that revoking the booth “makes no difference” and is urging all conservative groups to withdraw entirely from CPAC.

“American Atheists is an organization devoted to the hatred of God. How on earth could CPAC, or the ACU and its board of directors, and Al Cardenas condone such an atrocity?” Bozell said in a statement.

I disagree and side with the Founders on this fundamental question.

There can be no unalienable set of rights without it being endowed by something outside of itself. Man can certainly come to the realization that his rights are unalienable but he must reason that this unalienability has to be endowed by something outside of mankind in order to remain unalienable by its very definition. This something, as the Founders rightly, whole-heartedly agreed with, is God.

This appears to be a new leftist tactic. Claim to be conservative and force their way into the GOP to destroy it from within.

New tactic here but an old play. Libs have been doing this for years in the Church.

It’s easy. I’m pro life, married with 3 kids, pro gun, 20-year military, against the gay tolerance nazis, you name it. But I’m an Athiest. Always have been.

I’ve never seen you say anything that suggests that you have problems with religion in public. That makes all the difference to me.

Great to hear and I thank you for your service but no offense, you are not truly an atheist by the information you have shared.

Its kind of like gays in the military. I’m sure plenty have served honorably over the years but now gays are demanding recognition in an effort to destroy the military.

Well existence and the law of identity are outside of man. That is why I talked about an objective moral code. A god given code of morality is by definition a subjective code of morality.

They are gonna catch hell in North Carolina. Hagan will have to spend every dime she has stolen from her campaign just to keep up.

If not for her vote, Obamacare would not be here. She is a Liberal senator first, Constitutional citizen never.

She must answer every question about Obamacare. She has yet to explain anything.

Moonbat on parade.

A God given code of morality is not subjective in the least as it is absolute, black and white. What is subjective is our interpretation/manipulation of it for our own purposes and devices.

The dictatorship of Relativism is the social norm of a Godless society. This is what we are experiencing today.

Sorry. I’m a Sam Harris, Christopher Hitchens atheist. Not meaning to be rude. You can be pro military, pro gun, pro life, anti gay propaganda, pro limited government and not believe in god. I know many. Especially amongst my fellow military officers. But I have no problem with people wanting to be religious and/or believe in god. Knock yourself out.
