CPAC re-locates to traffic jam hell in 2013
Dear Joy McCann over at the Conservative Commune has the story about CPAC’s new location for 2013 at The Gaylord Convention Center in National Harbor, Maryland, which is just across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C., and Virginia. I’ve never been there, but I have whiled away many an hour in traffic jams on the …

End times nigh: Leftist gay blog publishes defense of GOProud
The ACU recently informed GOProud’s founders Jimmy LaSalvia and Christopher Barron that GOProud is not invited to participate in CPAC 2012. Jeremy Hooper writes at Good As You: On policy, I disagree with them most always. But as long as there is a Republican party (/conservative wing of it) of which they want to be …

Thank you, Mr. Cheney
Yesterday afternoon I was coming into the hotel in D.C. where CPAC is being held from its back entrance and as the elevator door opened an official-looking man with an earpiece darted into the elevator to shoo me out on the double, so I knew to scan the crowd for a dignitary. The next tip-off …
My Maine man, Andrew Ian Dodge, on repealing Obamacare
I met conservative blogger Andrew Ian Dodge and his wife at CPAC last month and took an instant shine to him (both of them, really). I know, I know, I fall in love with practically everyone at CPAC. We’ll let that be our little secret. Andrew lives in Maine and is a Tea Party organizer …

I'm up to something
It’s been tough, blog-wise, for the last month. The first two weeks of February I spent coping with two blizzards and two snow storms — it was painful and exhausting. Then I went to CPAC, which was WONDERFUL, but I got very sleep-deprived. I’d have recovered faster if I’d been willing to close my eyes …
Hey, hey, ho, ho, Michael Steele has got to go
You don’t just know a minority has arrived when one of its members — Barack Obama — becomes president. Or — Michael Steele — head of a major political party. The real sign of having arrived for a minority is for its members to start bashing on the gay people who truly believed the rainbow …

Ronald Reagan is the only person who has ever explained fiscal conservatism well
A post by John Hawkins at Right Wing News caught my eye this week and I was delighted to find he quoted and linked a speech by Ronald Reagan that I had been looking for. In it, Reagan explained how he had turned California’s economy around as governor. It was his “Let them go their …

Adoption for lesbians and gays doesn't mean what social conservatives think it means
I have the impression, from a very small sample of evangelical families, including one I have known many years, that their religious leaders urge them to adopt children as a way of adding more converts to their flock. I expect, if this is true, that they press this cause in more idealistic terms. But, from …
Michael Steele's Rush Limbaugh gaffe and how to go forward to victory
Little Miss Attila kindly asked me what I thought of this post at her blog, and here is my answer: My concern with Steele’s put-down of Limbaugh is that it makes me question his personality, his judgment and his qualifications for the job of chairman of the Republican National Committee, which Rush correctly pointed out …
