NEA wants to teach oral sex, masturbation. Advocates for "inclusive" sex education based on liberal hetero and homosexual expression...

 GoProud unavailable for comment.

Color me confused, but why the uproar over such classes?  If homosexuality is just another "sexual orientation", and if organizations such as GoProud are welcome at conservative gatherings such as CPAC, than why not teach the kids to be inclusive? 

There were plenty of young people at CPAC who were tacitly fed this message while many conservatives trumpeted the "any homosexual that supports fiscal conservatism is welcome" meme.  You can't have it both ways.

 [...]“Oral sex, masturbation, and orgasms need to be taught in education,” Diane Schneider told the audience at a panel on combating homophobia and transphobia.  Schneider, representing the National Education Association (NEA), the largest teachers union in the US, advocated for more “inclusive” sex education in US schools, with curricula based on liberal hetero and homosexual expression."

[...]“Gender identity expression and sexual orientation are a spectrum,” she explained, and said that those opposed to homosexuality “are stuck in a binary box that religion and family create.”   Diane Schneider (NEA) to United Nations

Didn't Joycelyn Elders get there first?

Meantime, Huckabee gets skewered for suggesting that Natalie Portman maybe wasn't the best roll model for young girls.  I'm not a fan of Huckabee, but he was simply stating the truth.

And let's not forget our national obsession with Charlie Sheen and his two live-in "goddesses."  Either he's as crazy as a bed bug (are bed bugs really crazy??), or he's one sharp fellow.  Either way, haven't we got anything better to do than watch him "jump on the couch?"

GoProud and CPAC getting a divorce?

It appears so...

I read this last night at American Power:

CPAC Boots GOProud

Specifically, new ACU President Al Cardenas has announced that CPAC will screen sponsoring groups for next year's event.

And now Hot Air is reporting on this development:

GOProud out of CPAC 2012?

After two years of participation and controversy, new management at the American Conservative Union have decided to start “vetting” organizations for participation at CPAC — and that means that GOProud, in all likelihood, won’t be admitted as a participating organization in 2012. 

After vowing to myself I would not post on the CPAC/GoProud kerfuffle back before the conference was held, when Chris Barron - head of GoProud, made some very nasty comments directed toward "social" conservatives, I broke my vow.

Many conservatives were supporting the idea of parking "social" issues at the doors of CPAC, as though fiscal issues and social issues were entirely separate entities.  I wrote an article that I worried would garner heaps of abuse.  Instead it was crickets chirping.  Conservatives need to understand that the schizophrenic concept of "social" conservative vs "fiscal" conservative will sink the entire movement. 

My original article:

CPAC and GoProud...

CPAC and GoProud...

or don't be surprised if you invite a snake into your tent and it bites you.

OK - I admit that's probably a bit uncharitable, but it points up a problem with GoProud being a sponsor at CPAC. 

For the past few weeks, conservative bloggers have used every means possible to justify GoProud - a group of people who self-identify by the manner in which they engage in sex, being included as a sponsor (or whatever) at CPAC.  Some of these bloggers have derided the groups that have chosen to not take the third leg off of Reagan's stool, which is social issues.  As long as GoProud proclaimed fiscal conservatism, we were to ignore the fact that they, allow me say this again, self-identify by the manner in which they have sex. 

If the people of CPAC think a self-professed group of homosexuals is a good match, what's going to happen next year if groups such as "Fiscal Conservatives for Abortion" or "Polygamists for Economic Conservatism" wish to attend?   How about "Unwed Mothers on Welfare for Responsible Government"?  Granted, those examples are on the absurd side, but it points out that social issues are not separate from economic issues. 

GoProud is a group of people whose sole goal is to subvert the core institutions of our culture.  They do not want equal rights, they want special rights.  And layered on top of this is their need for society as a whole to approve of their lifestyle.

Can you really say that a group who supports forced tolerance by indoctrination of children in schools,  repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act, and forced hiring practices, is the kind of group that should be welcome at CPAC?  

While I can appreciate the attendees of CPAC wanting to be inclusive and welcoming, it is really nothing more than furthering the goals of the homosexual agenda.  It is giving tacit approval to a lifestyle that is physically and emotionally unwholesome and unhealthy, as well as morally unsound. 

The individuals that belong to this group are more than welcome at a conservative gathering.  A "group" that identifies, say it together folks, by the manner in which they engage in sex, should not.


From Erik Erickson of Red State

This is Too Much For Me

[...]I have, for me, shown an amazing amount of restraint in keeping my mouth shut on an issue about which I can stay silent no longer — GOProud and CPAC.

[...]As someone who spent time trying to give them the benefit of the doubt, I accept this as conclusive proof that, while it is a Republican organization, GOProud is not a conservative organization. read the rest

That's what happens when you "go along to get along," Erik

 Excerpt from letter to CPAC from co-signing organizations American Values, Liberty Counsel and the National Organization for Marriage

[...]We have examined closely GOProud’s mission and its behavior since its inception, and can only conclude that the organization’s purposes are fundamentally incompatible with a movement that has long embraced the ideals of family and faith in a thriving civil society.
Needless to say, we are deeply persuaded that a thriving civil society is an indispensable bulwark against the relentless expansion of government, a phenomenon that has gripped much of the Western world and helped to fuel the present fiscal and economic crisis. read the entire letter
