It's Time To Galvanize

"I don't care who our candidate is. I haven't since the beginning of this," he had said before the audience. "I will march behind whoever our candidate is because if we don't, we lose. There are two paths: one is America, the other one is Occupy."

"Anyone that is willing to stand next to me to fight the progressive left I will be in that bunker, and if you're not in that bunker because you're not satisfied with this candidate, more than shame on you, you're on the other side."

Andrew Breitbart CPAC 2012

IVAW At CPAC???

Ron Paul Supporters Boo, Heckle Rumsfeld and Cheney

Words to remember: "Show us the shekels, Dick, show us the shekels."

Paul promotes a fiscal and security policy that would be disastrous to the nation for reasons no more substantial than self aggrandizement. Were that the limit of his damage he would be easy to ignore. It isn’t like he’s the first crank or nutjob we’ve had in the movement and the GOP. Far from it. What makes Paul so distasteful is not so much his policies but the classless twits who follow him like rats leaving Hameln.

Here at RedState we have experienced several influxes of Ronbots but our first real introduction to the type of person we were dealing with occurred as the 2008 primaries were heating up. Their monomania — along with mouthbreathing and poor personal hygiene — forced us to take the unprecedented step of banning them on sight.

Any doubt that we have unfairly maligned them disappeared this past week at CPAC where they booed and shouted anti-Semitic slogans at two of the pre-eminent public servants our side has produced in the past couple of decades.

It started with former Secretary of Defense being invited to receive an award by CPAC and to speak. In response, Ron Paul’s supporters, many of them paid to attend, booed him and staged a walkout.

A steady stream of Texas Rep. Ron Paul’s supporters walked out of a planned tribute for Donald Rumsfeld at CPAC Thursday afternoon. The walk-out had been planned ahead of time in part by Campaign for Liberty organizers and it seemed to be supported by more than 100 CPAC attendees.

The former defense secretary was also booed when took to the stage

The real fun started when Dick Cheney showed up to pay tribute to Rumsfeld. Dave Weigel was apparently at CPAC doing his Conservatives in the Mist schtick and reports in Slate:

When Rumsfeld takes the stage, the boos keep going, because some anti-war conservatives have stuck around to heckle. When it sees Dick Cheney, the crowd’s din drowns out the boos… for a while. I find a place on the floor next to several activists wearing Ron Paul gear.

“Bringing in Cheney made it worse,” says Nathan Cox, a Richmond, Va. activist and member of Iraq Veterans Against the War. “I kinda feel like yelling something.”

He doesn’t yell, but another activist yells “Show us the shekels, Dick! Show us the shekels!” It’s a not-so-veiled critique of Israel that gets him immediately kicked out. Another anti-war conservative yells “Draft dodger!” and he’s kicked out.

By this point, enough supporters of the last Republican administration are in the room to fill it with cheers of “Cheney 2012!” and to drown out a heckler who yells “Where’s bin Laden?”


Show us the shekels. Draft dodger. Murderous scum.

Foul epithets directed at men who accomplish more in any given day than the combined mass of Ron Paul supporters will accomplish in the totality of their miserable pissant lives.

These are people who fancy themselves conservatives and believe they have some place honor within the conservative movement. They are wrong. This odious behavior will be neither forgiven nor forgotten.

Rep Allen West On Bloggers Row At CPAC

Yeah, this guy gets it.

Tell Me Again Which Political Party Is Racist

You can read more after the jump

As of 2004, the Democrat Party (the oldest political party in America) has never elected a black man to the United States Senate, the Republicans have elected three.

and the Keynote Speaker at CPAC was none other than Republican Representative Lt Col Allen West, a career Army officer and American of African descent.

West/Palin 2012

No I haven't lost what's left of my mind. I haven't been eating the funny-looking mushrooms growing in my basement. This is serious.

LTCOL Allen West (R) FL-22, gave the keynote speech last night at CPAC. I managed to catch the first 5-7 minutes.

If you remember, LTCOL West was the officer who used fear-tatics to extract information from a Taliban terrorist and saved lives. He immediately notified his command and he was discharged. The Army's loss is Florida's, and now OUR, gain.

LTCOL West has presence of mind, a grasp of fundemental conservative values, and the cajones to run this country. He is National Security personalized. Coupled with Sarah Palin, who has Domestic Energy credentials, I believe we could actually return this country to a position of independence and security.

Glenn Beck at CPAC

I hope they listen. And to all of you Republicans and Democrats out there that are upset by Beck's characterizations - IF THE SHOE FITS, WEAR IT.

If it doesn't, then get on the bandwagon and fix your damned party.

American Thinker and Sarah Palin

Palin's Revenge: Who's Laughing Now?
By C. Edmund Wright
October 02, 2009 http://www.americanthinker.com/2009/10/palins_revenge_whos_laughing_n.html

The best thing we can do right now for Sarah Palin is to bring our friends, family, and political allies into "The Movement." We can do so by explaining that we support Gov. Palin for President -- and telling them why. We need to replace the America-detesting, Constitution-denigrating Obama with someone who loves -- and defends -- everything that's best about our wonderful country. Sarah is a woman of graet integrity. She's in no way "holier-than-thou" and makes no claims to perfection.

As Elaine Lafferty, former edictor of Ms. (!!!!), has said about Sarah, she's a person of almost infinite curiosity, which is the key sign of intelligence. Also, she stands foursquare for "liberty, tolerance, and opportunity," concepts that reflect the soul of America.

Yes, people like David Letterman, a deeply immoral man and an obsessive sexual harasser, detests Sarah. Gee, I wonder why. Sarah is very much her own person, and that invariably means we will not agree with her on every single point. Without our diversity, however, she -- and we -- would be less than Americans. People who love our land love Sarah. People who don't . . . don't . . . and never will.

Don't forget the pro-Palin meeting that will be held Feb. 19 in Washington, DC, during the CPAC Convention. (It will be followed up by a national conference call a few days later. The goal will be to discuss practical steps we can take to make sure Sarah becomes our 45th President.)

For the DC meeting, everything will be done to keep attendees' expenses as low as possible. The 2012 election will be the most important one in our country since 1860.

We will take back our country . . . or else we will continue to descend into the darkness.

Steyn is in the house

CPAC was privileged to have Mark Steyn speak. Mr. Steyn's clarity of thought and an unabashed pride in being both an American and a conservative shines through his every word. This video needs to be be published throughout America.

Go spend the time and watch the whole thing. The total length of the video is about 43 minutes, including the questions. 43 minutes of excellence.

I have heard NO ONE speak with such clarity about conservatism and AMERICAN values in a long time.

There was a guy asking people in the security line before Dick Cheney's speech this morning if they wanted John McCain stickers. "No, we're conservatives," said a guy wearing a Romney sticker. "Then why are you wearing that sticker'" came the retort from McCain-guy. And so it begins......


I'd laugh, but, well, you know......
