Today was another great day at CPAC and in Washington DC. We started the day off by visiting Fords Theater, where Lincoln was shot and killed. Then we walked across the street and saw where Lincoln died. Learning about President Lincoln was a great segway into our visit to the White House. Thank God for the I-Phone, because Tim is the only reason we have pictures from Casa De Obama. There is a rule that you can't bring a camera into the building... dang near killed me, but I managed to get a Gnome of the Day. Following the White House we made it back to CPAC for some great panels, including one with our friend Niger Innis about saving Charter Schools. We also caught a session on 2 minute activism with youth. In the panel, a young conservative who spoke got up there and condemned CPAC, and anyone else who supports gays. This was ridiculous and uncalled for. The continuous bashing of homosexuality by members of the GOP is counterproductive and hypocritical to the conservative principles of limited government. But, he got his 2 minutes of fame and then stormed off the stage as he was boo'd by most everyone in the crowd. After the adrenaline pumping crazy guy we got to see Ron Paul speak and inspire the Libertarian wing of the party. I respect all opinions and view points and even share some with the Ron Paul fans. However the behavior of some of his supporters was not only rude and disrespectful, but disgraceful to anyone they stand for. These individuals remove the legitimacy that these candidates may have. If they can shake the supporters that yell and scream and throw things at people who have done nothing but serve their country, they will never get anywhere as candidates. Back to Ron Paul, I always enjoy hearing him speak because he makes us think about things we would otherwise not think about. So, today was another great day and I am sooo looking forward to tomorrow and Glenn Beck!!!!!!
