Best day of my Political Life!

The smartest man I have ever had the pleasure of hearing speak, Glenn Beck.
Glenn Left his mark on the board he gave to the CPAC committee.

Liberty man! isn't he weird?
Everyone Keeps asking how much snow DC has right now... Just think, it has already melted a lot.

The Black Board from the speech was signed and will be brought to American Conservative Union Meetings.

Today was the best day of my three years attending CPAC. The day started off great with Former Senator Rick Santorum and moved on to Newt Gingrich, Anne Coulter, Bill Bennett and lastly Glenn Beck. I will get to Glenn in a minute. Rick was running for president. Newt was too... Coulter was hilarious, Bill Bennett was inspiring. Glenn Beck was remarkable. Beck has the ability to turn everything you ever think upside down with the most simple history lesson. We are not dealing with politics as we know it, or as it has been/is being taught to us. In these times there are people that want to fundamentally change the way our country works. They want to disregard the rules that we have always gone by in sake of making life easier for them, and this is killing our country and our freedom. This is not just a Democrat issue, but a Republican one too. This is a personal question we need to ask ourselves, "are we happy with the way things are going?" Is spending our way out of a Financial Crisis the right thing to do? Should we blindly follow anyone that says they have the answers to all of our problems? Just a few scattered thoughts I've been dying to get out. On another note from today's speech, there was a panel on the 2010 elections. I waited my turn and was given the last question to ask. I asked, "In the Bluegrass state of Kentucky, we are having an ideological struggle to replace Senator Jim Bunning with a Conservative and Libertarian candidates. What are your thoughts and predictions on the race?" The best they could come up with was saying that they were proud of how far Kentucky has come from being a blue state to a red state. I was very disappointed, the response did not even hit on the same topic. I think the panel, granted rushed on time, was either afraid to tackle the subject, or ignorant on the race and dynamics of the state. Either way, I got my 2 minutes of fame and I am still wondering the Conservative movement's opinion on the KY Senate Race. I want to Thank Dr. Joel Turner for taking us on this trip, without his mentoring, we would not have had such a great experience.

Heavy Hitters close out!


We started the morning off with a little of Lasley's favorite potential presidential candidate, Tim Pawlenty, the current Governor of Minnesota. He made his CPAC debut as the second speaker of the day. PS Lasley, I wore the button, and some guy interviewed me thinking I was from Minnesota. Next was the infamous Anne Coulter, she gave an always provocative speech about the state of the party. This speech was followed by a series of boring energy experts, but there was one speaker who stuck out to me after saying that global warming is a racist agenda and that got me thinking. It is also anti-poverty. There was an interesting movie that I am looking into called its not evil, its wrong. This movie debunk global warming. We also heard from Bill Bennett who is a CNN commentator, writer, radio host, and former Reagan Education Secretary. We also saw the famous former Secretary of Labor, Secretary Chow. Lastly but not least was the Great American Hero, Rush Limbaugh, his pompusness and confidence is perfect. He insulted everyone and anyone he could while still acting sophisticated and maturely. Whether you like him or not, he truly is a master of communication. He is also still the most popular talk show host in the world, and now a recipient of the Defender of the Constitution Award. And last but not least again... his body guard looked just like Stalin!!! This trip has been a growing experience and a wonderful opportunity to network and make new friends. I hope you all have enjoyed our blog, I will make one last post when I get home tomorrow.
