CPAC Reflections

After getting back into Nashville and to Bowling Green, I began to think about the good time I had at CPAC and in Washington D.C. I think the Republican Party has gotten away from its small government roots and has bought into the entitlement mentality of the Democrats and liberals. I am glad that we as the conservative movement are thinking about economics. We need to get the Fairtax legislation implemented as soon as possible because that piece of legislation would be the biggest economic stimulus that any generation would see in their lifetime. We need to stop giving industries and financial institutions bailout money because that bailout money fosters a cycle of dependency and make the government the ultimate codependent. I think the Republicans need to stand for traditional values and the strength of marriage as the union of one man and one woman for life. We need to stand for the value of every human life and we need to make sure that a fetus in the womb is classified as a human being. I think that the Republican Party and the Conservative movement needs to stand for national security and national defense. We need the best military in the world and we need a military that is second to none as we had in the 1980s when we were facing the Soviet Union as two rival superpowers. Now we are facing radical Islamic Extremists who have every intention of wiping out America as we know it and our entire way of life. We need to be wary of Russia’s emerging dominance as a world power and we need to use missile defense to repel a nuclear or hydrogen bomb. I enjoyed having the opportunity to hear these important people speak in Washington D.C and I look forward to going back next time.
