Best day of my Political Life!

The smartest man I have ever had the pleasure of hearing speak, Glenn Beck.
Glenn Left his mark on the board he gave to the CPAC committee.

Liberty man! isn't he weird?
Everyone Keeps asking how much snow DC has right now... Just think, it has already melted a lot.

The Black Board from the speech was signed and will be brought to American Conservative Union Meetings.

Former Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich, the visionary for the party.

Today was the best day of my three years attending CPAC. The day started off great with Former Senator Rick Santorum and moved on to Newt Gingrich, Anne Coulter, Bill Bennett and lastly Glenn Beck. I will get to Glenn in a minute. Rick was running for president. Newt was too... Coulter was hilarious, Bill Bennett was inspiring. Glenn Beck was remarkable. Beck has the ability to turn everything you ever think upside down with the most simple history lesson. We are not dealing with politics as we know it, or as it has been/is being taught to us. In these times there are people that want to fundamentally change the way our country works. They want to disregard the rules that we have always gone by in sake of making life easier for them, and this is killing our country and our freedom. This is not just a Democrat issue, but a Republican one too. This is a personal question we need to ask ourselves, "are we happy with the way things are going?" Is spending our way out of a Financial Crisis the right thing to do? Should we blindly follow anyone that says they have the answers to all of our problems? Just a few scattered thoughts I've been dying to get out. On another note from today's speech, there was a panel on the 2010 elections. I waited my turn and was given the last question to ask. I asked, "In the Bluegrass state of Kentucky, we are having an ideological struggle to replace Senator Jim Bunning with a Conservative and Libertarian candidates. What are your thoughts and predictions on the race?" The best they could come up with was saying that they were proud of how far Kentucky has come from being a blue state to a red state. I was very disappointed, the response did not even hit on the same topic. I think the panel, granted rushed on time, was either afraid to tackle the subject, or ignorant on the race and dynamics of the state. Either way, I got my 2 minutes of fame and I am still wondering the Conservative movement's opinion on the KY Senate Race. I want to Thank Dr. Joel Turner for taking us on this trip, without his mentoring, we would not have had such a great experience.
