Some of you may be aware that Breitbart is sponsoring an alternative CPAC if you will..its called “The Uninvited”.

Breitbart – Among the topics covered: Crony Capitalism, Global Jihad, Illegal Immigration, the ongoing global persecution of Christians, and the gutting of the American Military.

Speakers include Former Attorney General of the United States Michael Mukasey and NY Times best-selling author and Breitbart Editor Peter Schweizer. Panelists will include Robert Spencer, Dan Goure, Nina Shea, Rosemary Jenks, Frank Gaffney, and Pamela Geller.Larry Solov, CEO and President of Breitbart News Network, said, “Andrew Breitbart never shied away from tackling controversial issues. He also understood that people need vigorous and sustained discussion and debate to make their own informed decisions. It is in Andrew’s spirit that we are proud to host this event.”

Breitbart Managing Editor Alex Marlow, Editor-at-Large Ben Shapiro, and Editor-at-Large Larry O’Connor will also participate.Stephen K. Bannon, Executive Chairman of Breitbart News Network, said, “This session is not simply about speakers and panelists, but about direct engagement and participation by the CPAC audience. Andrew Breitbart believed in more voices, not less, and that is what this session will be about. We will get as many people as possible to the microphone to ask their questions and engage our speakers.”

Robert Spencer has two posts out: one on his website, and the other at FrontPage, on the subject of “Why I am not a CPAC Conservative.”

Here is a portion of his article from FrontPage.

Spencer – Many years ago, when I interviewed the great avant-garde saxophonist Charles Gayle, I asked him about bitter criticism he had received for his tendency to preach a pro-life message in the middle of his concerts. “Yeah,” he said with some amusement, “they always call me ‘right-wing.’ Man, I ain’t got no wings!” Neither do I. And as the events of the past week have shown, I am not “right-wing,” either; nor, by the standards of some of the organizers and chief figures of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), am I a conservative.

Throughout my public career, of course, the mainstream media has insisted that my colleagues and I are indeed “right-wing,” and often even “far right.” Since the “far right” is the label generally given to advocates of authoritarian government and racist discrimination, this label, as common as it is, is a sheer calumny, since we are not only advocates of neither one, but opponents of a system that advances both. If working to defend the principles of the freedom of speech, the freedom of conscience, and the equality of rights of all people before the law is “far right,” then we should all be “far rightists”; but in reality this label is just a tool of the foes of those principles, used to discredit those who defend them.

But I am nonetheless generally considered to be a conservative. It is a label I have used myself, as a way of distinguishing my position from that of the liberals and Leftists who have generally sold out to the jihad, so blind in their hatred of Western civilization and the United States of America that they eagerly cast their lot with the foremost enemies of both. And on a practical level, that identification has been easy: Regnery Publishing, a foremost conservative publishing house, has published six of my books. Many of my books have been endorsed by the late, lamented Conservative Book Club.

Nonetheless, for all that, I am not a CPAC conservative.

Why? You’ll have to read the whole article to find out.

I like this guy.  Actuallly, I like anyone who speaks the truth about what is happening to our country, right before our very eyes.  Is Obama a Muslim?  Unless you are a total Idiot, the answer is yes.

Was he sent here to destroy this country?  Unless you are a total Idiot, the answer is yes.

Did he meet the requirements of the Presidency? Unless you are a total Idiot, well I'll leave that to your own intelligence.

We have the problem,  called, "Obama."  Question is, what do we do with the problem?

Get rid of the problem, would be my answer.

I want to emphasize like I have stated on other threads.....until we see valid documentation...polls etc. of Muslim countries where a majority do not support Jihad...a holy war of terror in the name of God....I cannot and WILL NOT assume that the majority of Islamists support equality in religion, gender and race.  Now if the GOP's platform states that a majority of Muslims believe in peaceful equality...then I  need to leave the Republican Party because they are only deluding themselves!

@suzy000 Liberals in this country including liberal Republicans call Islam a Religion of peace. Granted some may be saying it so they don't get their head chopped off but mostly it's because their idiots. 

There will never be a poll in Muslim countries asking if they support Jihad. If you are Muslim you must support the teachings of the Koran which teaches Jihad against non-believers. This is why the only Muslims you'll ever hear speak out against Jihad are former Muslims.

If they're having a conference on Islam that's supposed to pick people that CPAC didn't, why not bring ...Debbie Schlussel?

While I don't always agree with her, she's interesting, original and speaks her mind all the time, no matter who's bad side it would get on, even Spencer's.

I like ABC but CPAC's always had a straw poll. It's what they do, there's not an alternative motive to it and the boys club candidates all lost.

The grassroots may not agree on a candidate but one of our choices won it.

Sour grapes. I think he's complained about every CPAC since 2010. It's gotten old and he needs to get over it instead of this drama queen "the uninvited" stuff. 

"controversial speakers" Okay, good for no white nationalists but there's at least one Bushie globalist, the Alberto Gonzales replacement Mukasey.

Breitbart's assistant editor was at CPAC. Forgot his name but he was good.

@Jim25 Sour grapes? Spencer makes the valid point that CPAC much like the government has been infiltrated by stealth jihadis and he is correct. Why should he align himself with an organization that purports to be conservative while enabling the enemies of the Constitution.? If one wishes to align themselves with enemies of the Constitution who wish to subsume the Bill of Rights under Sharia...that individual or individuals is either ignorant bu choice or is doing it on purpose...in which case that individual is no longer either a patriot or a conservative. That is the salient point of the arguement that Spencer is making. Sour grapes> Hardly. He already has the #1 conservative blog on the net. So the award is a who-cares accolade anyways.

@AmericanborninCanada Ted Cruz and Rand Paul are likely just being used by the establishment. Either that, or they are on their way to being promoted for higher office, or to take a fall in a sham 2016 election. Rubio, Christie, Ryan, and many more have been promoted for a reason, then they fall out of the scene. The GOP establishment, and the media promote whoever they choose, and we seem to follow along every time. We get worked up by some good speeches, but ultimately, they disappoint. I am at the point now that I just see their media stars as insignificant to any real change in D.C.. I like Rand and Cruz, but until they actually accomplish something real, it's all just talk or showmanship. 


Jim25

@libertifirst @AmericanborninCanada  

On what planet are Rand Paul and Cruz part of the establishment exemplified by McCain and Graham who panicked over the filibuster and used the word showmanship to describe it because people are learning to value their freedoms because they put drone strikes on trial for the nation to see, turning Obama from "cool guy who cares for you" to a cold-blooded tyrant, as I heard one person I forget the name of phrase it? They made it pretty clear, they're not working with these guys.

That IS an accomplishment just like Rand's father, who also won CPAC twice and has been praised by some anti-freedom media figures like Jon Stewart, not passing any major legislation but getting his message out to people was an accomplishment. In contrast, Rubio hasn't accomplished anything conservative, only palling with McCain and Graham on an illegal war in Libya and an immigration bill because he's not making waves. 

I don't see anything wrong with them getting rewarded for that by conservatives.  We should congratulate when someone defends the Constitution as cabensg said, it's very rare to see folks up there use their position like that. We're not hipsters. It's what they all should be doing but aren't.

@libertifirst @Jim25 @AmericanborninCanada  

It's called manners or decorum. I don't think we've ever had a non-liberal who broke decorum and professionalism like that. For instance, Ron Paul would try to be concillatory towards many liberals, he worked on a bill with Barney Frank instead of attacking him personally. He reached out to Obama's establishment backer Jon Stewart and although it shocked me looking it up, Obama's Communist sycophantic surrogate Jon Huntsman and didn't call people murderers. He's polite. His son is more aggressive in attacking Obama himself. But policy is more important than semantics.

I will say you got some of what you wanted with Bachmann. She said we should investigate disloyalty to the US in Congress and attacked the loyalty of Hillary's chief of staff. Allen West called certain members of Congress Communists.

How can you say you like them but then compare them to Boehner and Ryan? Boehner and Ryan have records of backing the establishment's stuff, I think the support for these two is more organic and natural.

libertifirst

@Jim25 @libertifirst @AmericanborninCanada Sure, it is nice to hear some good words, and even see some gridlock in congress, but what will be the end result? What we need to hear from these guys is that their colleagues are corrupt and are purposefully destroying this country. Of course, if they did that, they would not get the interviews, or be on any committees, etc. Even Rand and Cruz serve a purpose to the establishment when they are speaking against it. 

They need to start calling out McCain and the rest as being tyrants, plain and simple. They need to start calling people who vote to kill civilians with drones "murderers". The same goes for those who support abortion. Why not just call them murderers? What good has "getting along" done this country. We need people who get into office to risk their political standing and careers speaking the truth. Otherwise, we will just simply continue to slowly decline until we are done for. 

A few years ago, you would be listening to Boehner give the same kind of "great" speeches. The media gave him the coverage, and he became speaker of the house. Then he goes against everything he supposedly stood for, and the tough guy attitude is gone. People on this site were all worked up and supporting Boehner. 

The same goes for Paul Ryan, and many more. Allen West talked a good game, but many, including myself, were quite disappointed with many of his votes. I've been watching this game play out for a couple of decades now, and it never changes, and everything just gets worse and worse. 

We don't have enough time left to hope for something that will never come, and expect that to save us. Talk is cheap. Rand most certainly is not his father. He turned off a lot of people when he endorsed Romney. What good did that do him? Well, Romney lost, and Rand lost credibility as a principled conservative. 

I like Rand and Cruz, but they are being used to keep people on the republican hook, and to keep the establishment republicans in power by being the "liberty" wing of the republican party, which is a very small part of it. Now that they have made some progress and notoriety in the main stream, they need to leave the party and run third party. At very least, they need to quit supporting the tyrants like Romney and the rest.

@libertifirst @AmericanborninCanada I have to disagree with the part about showmanship. We've been starved for someone, anyone to step forward and argue against Obama and liberals. Rand and Cruz are doing their job. This is why they were sent there. It's just so odd to have anyone take their job as Senator serious it seems like grandstanding, but this is what all of our Senators should be doing. We're so use to hearing nothing substantial from any of them it does seem strange that finally someone takes their job seriously. I also see nothing wrong with receiving approval for doing your job.

They'll try to fleece them out of winning, but they can only go so far.

Ryan, Christie and Rubio didn't put their money where their mouth was. These two are and the approval they're getting from it shows the public is waking up to it.

How can you say they're grandstanding working with McCain and Christie and still say you like them though?

@cabensg @libertifirst @AmericanborninCanada I understand where you are coming from. My view is simply based on the fact that this is a reciprocation of past events. There is a pattern to how these things are done. The establishment knows who can gain the support of conservatives, so they put them up for us to cheer for them. The reality of the situation is that people like Boehner, McCain, Graham, McConnel,  etc. retain the power positions and control the whole cabal. In the end, guys like Cruz and Paul are only put on the stage to keep us hooked into the supposed only party that we can support. They would love for us to think that people like Rand, Cruz, West, etc. have growing influence to give us hope for the next election. The problem is that fraud picks the power brokers, so they never loose their strangle hold on the process, and retain their dictatorial grip on the overall agenda, and the election process. 


It's a sham. I like to hear Cruz and Paul give those speeches, but I am not fooled into thinking that what they are being allowed to do is going somewhere significant. It never happens, which made me try to figure out why. There has to be a reason, and what I came up with is simply the fact that the establishment in D.C. and the MSM (including Fox) coordinate this effort to deceive us, and it works most of the time. Otherwise, there would be a mass exodus of support for these fake media heads and their dribble that is designed to keep our eyes off of the ball.

@Jim25 @RighteousCrow_JustCaws In my opinon it's because the younger voters have gone all libertarian about getting drugs without adult supervision which is what drug laws are all about. The laws may need some tweaking but we don't need a country of druggies going to the drug station for their fix. What we need is a war on Psych drugs which are sanctioned and encouraged by our government because a lobotomized populace is even easier to control.

  • How far would Moses have gone if he had taken a poll in Egypt? What would Jesus Christ have preached if he had taken a poll in the land of Israel? What would have happened to the Reformation if Martin Luther had taken a poll? It isn't polls or public opinion of the moment that counts. It's right and wrong and leadership."

It was a grassroots showing and Rubio didn't get first. And although Rand might be the favorite of most, some might pick Santorum. That's fine, a free country and it's everyone's choice to make.
