We resolved to ignore the annual CPAC meeting this year, which was hijacked by libertarian and homosexual organizations. We are pleased that steps are being taken to restore this meeting to authentic conservatives in the mould of Burke and Kirk. But it has been illuminating to see which organizations and candidates will stand for principle and which will go with the flow.
We salute Peter LaBarbera of Americans for Truth About Homosexuality and Matt Barber of Liberty Counsel for leading the opposition to the inclusion of groups antithetical to the conservative movement. Organizations that boycotted this year's meeting include The Heritage Foundation, Media Research Center, Family Research Council, Concerned Women for America, American Principles Project, American Values, the Center for Military Readiness, Liberty Counsel, and the National Organization for Marriage.
As our friend Gary Glenn, President of the American Family Association of Michigan, points out, marriage protection has been on the ballot in 30 states and has passed in every one, with an average margin in support of nearly 70%. Why would conservative organizations want to alienate the broad mainstream of the American public?
