CPAC was overall an enjoyable experience. One gets the opportunity to here prominent academics, politicians, commentators, etc. It is a mecca for conservatives to gather, converse, and debate the issues that they belief are of much importance.
I believe that one should be firm on their principles, and realistic on their ideologically based ideas. To provide clarity on my previous statement I shall provide an example using myself. While I have reservations on giving war (everyone should), I do not believe sitting idol if the security of the nation is threatened. Many of the speakers at CPAC communicate the similar rhetoric to the audience (smaller government, repealing Obama-care, etc.). We as individuals have to ensure that we do not allow our principles to be swayed by campaign language, fable ideas, and illogical theories. So if you make the trip to CPAC it is important to listen and process what you hear, and to investigate what and why you believe what you believe.
I unfortunately, concentrated on listening to the main speakers and not checking out all the exhibits, and panels. It will probably behoove you to visit all the exhibits and read the literature, not just walk away with a free pen or kooze (although free stuff is the best stuff).
Overall I enjoyed my time in the nation’s capital, and the conference. I certainty suggest that anyone who is conservative, leans conservative, or questions conservatives to go to the conference. Although CPAC is an annual event, each conference is a once in a lifetime experience.
Farewell to all my readers, I hope I haven’t bored you too much.
