Bureaucrash Inside CPAC '06, the Conservative Political Action Conference Current rating: -1
13 Feb 2006
Modified: 12:24:50 AM
(...they're even worse when they think they're among friends.)
Take a look inside the "Conservative Political Action Conference", which took place in DC this past weekend. Bureaucrash sent in three activists who we'd previously "saved from their conservative ways" ;) to report back on what's going on in the minds of those on the political right.

It's kind'a like smoking, I guess: You never realize how gross it is until you quit & then hang out in a room full of smokers. Some highlights:

"Let Freedom Ring USA's" latest project, "WeNeedAfence.com":
"government owes the citizens of the U.S. Protection from all those who wish to take advantage of a free society"
Yeah, how dare they take advantage of our free society like that. Coming over here to be all free & stuff. We gotta stop e'm! .....Errrr, okay.

Pamphlets at the "Save Our Society [from Drugs]" booth:
"Who's Really in prison for Marijuana?”...
(well, let's see: 88% of them are in simply for "possession"; no violence, nobody hurt.)
..and “Starting a Student Drug-Testing Program.”
Yikes. With them saving our society from drugs, I really want to know who's going to save our society from the state?

The "Parents & Friends of Ex-Gays and Gays (PFOX)" booth:
"...working to raise awareness of alternatives to living a homosexual life – alternatives that many have found to be positive and life-affirming."
Ah. I didn't realize you could "decide" not to be gay; or that there was anything anyone could say to you to convince you not to be gay. I mean, I can't imagine anything that anyone could say to me that would make me say, "Yeah, boys! You're right! G i r l s ?! What was I thinking?!"

Give it a rest. Can you say oxymoron?

Fuck capitalism and fuck bashing "conservatives" as a way to put your foot in the door.

Go somewhere else and spread your non-sense.

>>Can you say oxymoron?<<

Yes. Can you explain yourself...or do you always just insult people with different ideas than your own, and ask them to leave?

Yeah, stick with that. You'll get far.
