I don’t care how much grover norquist supports free markets, small government and low taxes, his coziness with islamists renders him an enemy of America and he should not be embraced by CPAC. In fact he should be shunned. The stimulus package and other fiscal and economic issues, important as they are, are not the most serious issues facing America. The threat to our freedoms and way of life from the encroachment of islam is the single most serious threat we face and an issue which was met with deafening silence at CPAC.
It is clear that CPAC is not an ally in the struggle against the islamic jihad. I guess I was naive in believing that CPAC would be the very type of organization in which Wilders would receive a hero’s welcome.
Although they disguise themselves as an organization promoting conservative values and patriotism, what they really are is just another wealthy Republican PAC out to serve their own self-enlightened moneyed interests. I would guess many of these members have business interests in the arab world. To hell with them. What’s needed is a grass roots conservative movement which truly is patriotic and stands up for American values and against our jihadist enemies.
