Has CPAC Gone Gay?
http://www.ThurstonHowell.NET ^ | February 22, 2010 | Thurston Howell

When I attend many conservative functions in my early 20's, I was usually the young "whipper snapper" in the room. Now that I am 39 years of age, one troubling thing that I have noticed is that I am -STILL- the young Whipper Snapper in the room.

Morality is dying off with the “greatest generation”. As I look into this CPAC audience I noticed something a little different than the conservative functions to which I am accustomed. I see allot of...

Well I’d say with Paul winning the straw poll they have at least gone a bit ‘fruity’. ;-)

I see allot of young people cheering the cause of homosexuality and shouting their invective at the man standing for God’s laws.

To the Baby-Boom generation I say take a good look at your failure. For in your quest to “find yourselves” through many marriages and material things, someone was raising your children and it sure as hell wasn’t you. This is the face of the lost youth, the youth whose morality was inculcated by the public indoctrination system from Kindergarten through College. This country is in it knee deep if that is the new “conservative”. Watching this gave me a sick feeling, the kind that perhaps Moses had when he came down from Mt. Sinai to find the children of Israel whom God had just delivered – engaging in unabated debauchery and worshipping a golden calf they made for themselves.

To CPAC – shame on you. I learned something new this weekend. I learned that CPAC is not a conservative group. It has clearly been neutered and should be abandoned entirely by anyone who is a friend to the laws of God, the inspiration behind our constitution.

Conservatism is not about accommodation and appeasement. If people who engage in deviant behavior want to support conservative organizations, they should be given -asylum. However, to have deviant sexual behavior become a sponsor of a group pretending to be an organization representing conservative values is an absolute disgrace.

I think Mr. Sorba could have delivered the message in a more affable manner but the point remains. Watch the video below.

I was there & homosexuality was not a theme.

I’d say anyone who can extrapolate a gay rights agenda from this year’s CPAC has some issues of his own.

The behavior is consistent with polls that show a majority of young people supportive of gay rights and gay marriage.

Paul’s student backers were shipped in to stack the vote. They’re the libertarian version of ACORN, but fortunately there aren’t that many of them.

But this gay business was a serious mistake.

As far as I’m concerned, real conservatism is like the St. Patrick’s Day Parade. If homosexuals want to join, fine, who’s going to stop them? Who’s even going to know who they are? But not if they want to carry signs demanding gay rights. Not if they are polical gays. Not if they’re going to set up a booth pushing gay marriage and boo speakers who depart from their party line.

CPAC is going more and more Libertarian. It should just be called LPAC now.

Once the Libetarians infiltrate something, it's pretty difficult to take it back, but I think it's worth a try.

Would that be the generation the voted for massive Social Security and Medicare entitlements, COLAs and most recently, prescription drug benefits? Theft was immoral last time I checked.

They're also trying to infiltrate the Tea Parties. It's time for REAL conservatives to stand up and stop them. We can't win the battle against Obama on fiscal issues only to turn around and see that moles in our midst have subverted us on the social ones.

People have the Inherent right to be “Gay” but they do not have the right to cram their ideals down unwilling throats.

That being said it would be better if the Government got out of Marriage law all together with the only service the government providing being the recording of said contracts, and negotiation when a contract is canceled. (As marriage is a contract between two people as far as the government should be concerned) Also any legal contract worth it’s salt must be between people of legal age who are not dependents of the state or someone else.

I don’t even think the government should be involved in marrying people and should prohibit Judges from marrying people. The More we invite Government into the institution of marriages the more they use it as a tool to control people as tax law has done so far.

I do believe that no government should be able to tell a church who they can or cannot marry. If the Catholic Church prohibits gay marriage on it’s ground they have that right as a sovereign and independent from the government organization.

This is the true, limited government approach.

What makes anyone think there were no gays/lesbians attending earlier CPACs? And I think the Log Cabin Republicans have attended before...

Also a lot of the “Greatest Generation” wanted their “kids to have it better than they had it during the 30’s and 40’s” which lead to the Spoiled generation known as the “Baby Boomers” whom a lot of them turned into little spoiled hippie, if it feels good do it, types of people.

One should not raise their kids to “have it better off than Myself” but they should be raised “to be able to survive and thrive in a cold cruel heartless world that is reality”.

Rudeness and booing though?!?!
That’s picking up moral stance and bad behavior of the left.
#3 was apparently right - someone else was raising the kids and they havent done a good job.

Tell me, at what point before Obama did "social conservatives" give a tinker's damn about fiscal issues?

I don't really have a dog in this fight, since I'm not affiliated with CPAC, nor have I followed their proceedings closely.

But as I understand it, GOPROUD as a group officially affirms homosexual conduct, and promotes a homosexual agenda, e.g. opposing DOMA and DADT.

Thus as an organization it backs a gay rights platform--- no surprise. To the extent that CPAC invited them to attend and participate, CPAC advanced their agenda. QED.

Governments in the western world have always been involved in marriage, and supported the institution, because marriage is the foundation of society.

The breakdown of marriage in the West is one reason why we have so many more dysfunctional people—especially among those on welfare. Because there’s no one to bring up the kids properly and teach them how to be good citizens. The public schools certainly aren’t going to do it. The government certainly can’t do it. Indeed, they don’t even want to it, because dysfunctional welfare families are solid votes for them.

So, yes, marriage is a religious thing, but it’s also a social matter. That’s why you have witnesses and records.

Wake up, ya little turd. Social conservatives ARE fiscal conservatives. We ARE the backbone of the Republican base. We ARE the people who kept the Reagan coalition together. If you're too stupid to recognise that, then too bad.

A libertarian attitude towards "morality" isn't something new. Indeed, it was Reagan's view and the policy of his Administration.

One of the reasons Reagan did so well, particularly among younger voters, is because of this unspoken compact with the religious right: "We will protect your right to live according to your beliefs and values and raise your children according to same. We will not allow you to impose them on the nation as a whole."

When Republicans and conservatives follow this model, we win. When we forget it, we lose.

“I was there & homosexuality was not a theme.

Well I wasn’t there and from what I saw in this video, “conservatives” who -were- there seemed shamefully silent. It was as though they were willing to allow the gay advocates who were shouting this man off of the stage to have their way with him like Lott offering his virgin daughters to the frenzy of amorous Sodomites.

If I were there and stood by as this guy was ridiculed for taking his stand, I don’t know that I would be telling people that I was there.
