CPAC11 Wrap-up and Extra Awards

    CPAC11 finished up on Saturday with some marvelous speakers and closed the conference with freshman Congressman Lt. Col. Allen West of Florida giving a very moving, firm message about true American Patriotism, and its importance in restoring America to the greatest, free nation on Earth.  Ann Coulter gave a wonderful speech that had us laughing  in our seats as she pointedly proved the hypocrisy of the Liberals time and time again. Ms. Coulter also shined some sunlight on the fact that Liberals are using the gay movement to solely bash Conservatives and Christianity and that, based on their beliefs of freedom to chose how they want to live their lives,  they are really a natural fit with Conservative ideology. Considering that certain major sponsors and deep-rooted conservative groups  boycotted this years CPAC, Mr. Keene is to be commended for holding it all together, and making it a wonderful Conservative conference that was also very educational for our youth. Well done Sir.

   CPAC11 drew an amazing record crowd of over 11,000 Conservative leaders and activists this year. As everyone expected, once again Libertarian Ron Paul won the CPAC/ Washington Times Presidential straw poll, with 30% of votes, followed by Mitt Romney at 23%, and surprise ! , former budget guru Gov. of New Mexico, (and Ron Paul-like Libertarian) Gary Johnson tied the absent Chris Christie at 6%. People came from across the nation to see of dozens of exhibitions, panel discussions, film and documentary premiers, and social events to engage other conservatives.  This was truly an uplifting experience for everyone attending and the millions more watching it on TV and the Internet. I would personally like to see them get the whole thing televised live, from start to finish next year, as some can’t see it on a computer. Maybe CSpan could drop the obscure book report shows and make room for CPAC 2012. Surely someone in this country will step up and let Americans see this wonderful, informative event.

  1. Newt & Trump should have category of their own-Most Hypocritical-of course toss up who would be number #1. Probably Newt-although now he has got on the conservative bandwagon even though he is faking it. Trump is a big supporter of Rahm for Chicago Mayor & is currently fundraising for him.

  2. I agree with both comments 100%. This is why we need relatively new blood in 2012.(IMHO) Romney is as fake as a 3 dollar bill and I will not accept anyone from the Northeast ever again, as they are all RINOS except Christie, who still needs to prove he can move the NJ state leglislature which he hasn’t been able to do yet.

    Trump has been in bed with every corrupto-crat that ever walked the halls of big goverment. I can’t discount Newt’s experience and fundraising capabilities, yet if he gets on a ticket as V/P, the presidential candidate has to be tough enough to handle Newt’s ability to connive and make back-door deals and promises, again, IMHO

    I also agree that this will be one heck of a knock-down drag out battle for the GOP nomination for president in 2012. I do like Barbour and now Gary Johnson is coming on strong from the outside.
    At first glance I like John Thune and that will be my next article. If anyone comes across anything relevant about Thune having Rino tendacies or progressivness please let me know so I can put out the whole truth about him.

    Thanks for commenting,

    Daniel
