CPAC.....the liberals fear the truth.
 
CPAC is a political action committee dedicated to traditional conservative Constitutional values. Why do liberals fear them so much that in another thread it is laden with hateful rhetoric and with sophomoric insults to conservatives?

Is it because the liberals know their message of anti-American values, and their solutions to America's problems have only made the situation worse?

The majority of Americans call themselves conservative. The majority only needs to stand up to turn America back on course to greatness.

Here is a great speech by our terrific young senator from Florida, Marco Rubio, at this years CPAC convention. It's about 25 minutes, but well worth the time.

(Does Dale really imagine Sen. Rubio with a white hood?)

Rubio is the bomb every time he gets in front of a mike. We will see more of him in the coming years.

Last years CPAC Key note speaker..Another great American from the great state of Florida-ALLEN WEST!...Ooops- Is that a man of color?!?!? Absolutely! Any of you self proclaimed "saviors" of the African American population wonder how he looks with a pointy white hood...

Here's another example of true conservatism in America. Rick Santorum gave a truly inspirational speech at this years convention. No presidential candidate embodies true conservative principle by consistent word and deed like Rick Santorum.

Rick Santorum has been much maligned, and has been the recipient of much slanderous and hate filled attention by one poster on this forum. If you are inclined to hear the man in his own words, this inspirational speech at this years CPAC convention is a great opportunity.

Katz; here is this years speech by Rep. Allen West, in case you've missed it. He's a great conservative and great American, and as usual, takes no prisoners.

In a another thread when I spoke out in support of Santorum, even as an Independent vote, I was bombarded by those who told me that I had to vote GOP, because it is the only way to get Obama out. I wonder how many will follow their own advice if Santorum IS the candidate for the GOP?

He makes me give him a standing ovation of one, in my home office. This is truly a great man, and more importantly, a great American.

Guest 02-11-2012 04:44 PM

Conservtives follow practices that have been essential for survival since the beginning of time. Self reliance, cogent thinking , an ethical imperative to name a few. This does not mean that conservatives will ignore people who truly have needs. But as people who have dealt with intervention understand being an enabler hurts more than it helps.

I believe it was William F Buckley who once explain the difference between a conservative and a liberal in this manner. If a man were drowning a conservative would throw a lifesaver half way out and ask the man to swim to safety. Whereas a liberal would throw a lifesaver out way over the man's head and ask him to swim out further in order to reach safety. Overkill... well kills... A welfare state kills motiviation and hence inititative and eventually will power

Santorum is a great speaker and has wonderful American values on some issues, but he is such a bigot I cann't give him my support.

Rep. Alan West says conservatives believe in helping their fellow man, but do not think that the "safety net" should be used as a "hammock". A great line.

LOL - Another absurd post by the resident cons.

What's even funnier is to suggest the Liberals (or anyone else for that matter) fear the cons - the speech of the day was givenby the failed 1/1 governor, aka The Wasilla Quitta.

Even with the teleprompter, she delivered a disjointed, pointless, rambling, run-of-the-mill Faux scripted con talking points essay.

But, somehow she forgot to mention that even Rasmussen polling has Obama beating every con.

Great quote and very true. I would be 100% democrat if my life would not have turned out so wonderful. I still feel for the unfortunate among us, but feel the greed to protect what I have earned also. It is a dilemma when I want to help all mankind, but also want to keep what I have built up.

Allen West CPAC 2012 Full Speech - YouTube

A great conservative???
Are you kidding? Have you checked his votes supporting the Boehner phoney debt ceiling deal (that not only did not cut but lied to us and said it DID) and the votes on budget resolution bills that originated in the SENATE.. any constitutionalists left out there?? .. remember.. the bills that stopped the Paul Ryan budget?
Not convinced.. how about the way he treated Cain? ya remember?? When the unproven allegations came out he told cain to get out of the race.. SAID he was a "distraction".
Remember how important it was for everyone to believe the worst about cain when he was rising in the polls and now no once cares if was trashed unfairly now that he left the race.. Same thing with palin.
Politics is alive and well in Wash. Nothing will change if you support "tea Party" candidates who get to Washington and tell you what a great job Boehner and Cantor and McConnell are doing.
Lets hear your defense to those ..( and many other votes I can give you) on this Great conservative.. Allen West.

Guest 02-12-2012 11:13 AM

Yeah, I knew he voted for it. Didn't like his reasoning either-something to the tune of "don't throw the baby out with the bath water". He's still got O beat all the way thru all 57 states and back.
Did I miss something? Did West tell Cain to get out of the race because he was a distraction?

Sorry, I'm not going to address your musings. I can't read people's minds and West can probably explain why he does what he does to you if you want to write him. I'm not a mind reader, myself.

Your opinion on the subjects you talk about are substantially flawed, IMHO.

I don't have the energy to wind around them.

Katz, I think he may have been a little mischievous in the lady department. I am not sure that would make him a bad leader, but his self control is in question if in fact he did run around like the media portrayed.

Guest 02-12-2012 04:44 PM

Obama admits to using illegal drugs...lack of self control didn't get him the negative media coverage that it got Cain.

My wife for one would tell you that smoking a joint would be easier to forgive than messing around with other women while married. I personally would not tolerate either one, but I would live longer if I chose to take a puff of the wacky weed rather than the lady next door.

Guest 02-12-2012 05:24 PM

I have to agree with your wife on this one. I don't know of a law against adultery on the books. However, illegal drugs use is illegal. How can we have a man in the White House who breaks the LAW?!

OMG! Call your senator. Call your congressman. Tell them you want the President of the United States arrested for using illegal drugs. Call the FBI. Call the state police. While they're at it, have them pick up President Bill Clinton for smoking marijuana. I'll be glued to my TV watching for the presidents to be perp walked off to prison.

I am very very curious and would appreciate a link or something to give me that information about the President graduating first in his class.

I ask this because you are on to something. I have never read that he allowed his grades or entrance exam scores to be made public and that up to this time, NOBODY knows anything about Harvard, Columbia, etc

On 60 Minutes:
-He openly admitted to smoking marijuana
-He openly admitted to using cocaine
-He openly admitted to a desire to use heroin
(I never said he was "strung out on drugs". I only said that he admits to illegal drug use. Illegal being the key word here...HE BROKE THE LAW)

This is the first I have ever heard that he graduated first in his class at Harvard Law School. There is actually no proof that he ever attended Harvard Law School.

Guest 02-13-2012 07:44 AM

Just hoping that JANMCN will enlighten us on her claim that President Obama was #1 in his class at Harvard....repeating my question...If you have the information, you have a scoop !

Here's what answers.com has to say on the subject:

Quote:


Barack Obama graduated magna cum laude.

We do not rank students at HLS. The student with the top GPA is awarded a prize, the rare student who gets mostly A+s is awarded summa cum laude, there are many years where no one obtains this degree.

However, one can infer from his magna cum laude degree that he was in the top 10% of his class. His position on the law review could mean he was high within that 10% bracket. But there is really no way to know where he ranks from #2 through 10%.
Magna cum laude is awarded to the top 20% of graduating students. Summa cum laude is awarded to the top 4-5% of graduates. SO, he could not be in the top of his class as reported.
I think it likely that someone read "near the top of his class" and inferred "at the top of his class".
