CPAC not so conservative
Since Richard Nixon was president, the Conservative Political Action Conference has provided the American Right with an annual occasion for self-evaluation. On Thursday, when some 10,000 activists gather in Washington for this year’s conference, they will find themselves part of a conservative movement significantly different than it was during the Bush administration, or even in 2009.
A jolt of anti-Obama populist energy has upended the movement’s traditional hierarchy, lifting some new or previously low profile groups to unprecedented heights while leaving traditional powers struggling to adapt.
Ascendant are groups that focus on fiscal issues such as reducing government spending and taxation, which last year drove tens of thousands of new conservative activists to the streets and town halls in protest of big spending initiatives backed by President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats. Groups that concentrate on social issues like abortion and same-sex marriage have been relegated to a lower profile, as, to some extent, have those focusing on national security.

After hearing Dick Cheney's speech
and the roaring applause that followed, I am quite certain that CPAC is nothing more than a drunken war/security/GOP orgy.
What a load of BS!!!
I think the title of this post needs to be changed to:
"Afternoon activities at CPAC includes making ASTROTURF from recycled material"
Hey Norquist - Where have we been the last 30 years? Getting sick from your Neo(fake)conservative/Communist farts in the air!

"We are the inheritors of the American Enlightenment, which tells us that Individual Liberty always trumps collectivism in all forms."
ITS ABOUT TIME!
