It’s that CPAC time of the year, where the world’s most important and powerful Conservatives meet and greet the 2016 contenders for President of the United States.
They kicked off the first day of this year’s CPAC gathering with Ben Carson, who presently holds the reigns as the top clown in this Republican election cycle. Can this cycle’s GOP’s token African American meet the same high bar of previous GOP black tokens Alan Keyes and Herman Cain? The mold holds as nothing Republicans love more than crazy black guys whose right-wing rhetoric can trump even their own when it comes to issues of race. But wouldn’t you know, whenever it comes to the push and shove they all fall away rather quickly.
Dr Carson’s first order of business is to defund all of Obamacare. ALL OF IT! Remember he doubled down on saying it’s the worst thing since slavery. You know giving 11 million working class Americans health care is worse than Jim Crow, World War I, the Depression, Pearl Harbor, World War II, McCarthyism, Vietnam, various assassinations, 911, the Iraq War and the worst recession in American history which was brought to us by the very polices this clown pushes.
Ben Carson further explained that must also defund all of Obama’s executive orders, most especially the one about NOT tearing apart 5 Million Hispanic families, concentrating them in family prisons to later put on trains out of here. The rounding up part should be fun.
As CPAC always does, Ben Carson had to backtrack on any common sense ideas he expressed in the past. In this case he once said that our crowded cities are not really the place for assault rifles. Today he said he fully supports the 2nd Amendment.
His biggest laugh line was to defund Obama’s golf game. Which should remind us of how the GOP has changed over the years. Republican golfer President Dwight D. Eisenhower would most likely not have made it out of CPAC alive. Nor would Ronald Reagan for that matter. Amnesty for 5 million Mexicans, rising taxes 11 times and tripling the debt. Oh, and never going to church.
Which brings up another point. Every one of the presidential hopefuls on the speaking list this week are full blooded Chickenhawks. What about Colonel Lindsay Graham? First off he is not on the speaking schedule and secondly even if he were, America’s top elected warmonger spent his 6 years of active duty in the Army doing lawyer work in Frankfort, Germany. Thus defined as a Lesser Chickenhawk.
Scott Walker stole the show I am told. Foot stomping standing ovations for the most milquetoast charisma free candidate in my memory. The audience really liked it when he compared Wisconsin protesters to ISIS. Be warned ISIS, Scott Walker smashed the unions for the working class, he gave those teachers the what for! All with Koch Brothers money. He’s the man. He needs to get his eye(s) fixed though. They make him look as stupid as he is.
Ted Cruz who is the one to beat in all Right-wing bonafides did his standard show, nothing out of the ordinary. But it seems the GOP leadership did manage one concession from him in he did not present any articles of Impeachment, so far.
Bobby Jindal. A silly little man who scolds fellow Republicans for being stupid while he himself wallows in it had one big applause line, “we need to repeal every word of Obamacare!”
Chris Christie explained how extreme his pro life stance is and how he has battled Planned Parenthood to no avail. He is the big loser so far.
Sarah Palin closed the event on Thursday night and got the most media coverage other than Governor Walker – who will be our next President – for, OMG, making sense for 20 minutes in a row. IN A ROW! She stuck to OUR TROOPS and that’s a winner all the way around.
Today is really the last day of official speakers. The Donald Trump at Noon, don’t miss that, he may just throw his golden balls into the race. But the big story today will be how far to the Right Jeb Bush can push himself without messing up his chances in the general election.
