Religious Right Bails on CPAC (or, Fear of a Gay Planet)
The Internet black hole of far right theocratic craziness known as World Net Daily is celebrating today because religious fundamentalists are abandoning CPAC out of fear of a gay planet.
Two of the nation’s premier moral issues organizations, the Family Research Council and Concerned Women for America, are refusing to attend the Conservative Political Action Conference in February because a homosexual activist group, GOProud, has been invited.
“We’ve been very involved in CPAC for over a decade and have managed a couple of popular sessions. However, we will no longer be involved with CPAC because of the organization’s financial mismanagement and movement away from conservative principles,” said Tom McClusky, senior vice president for FRC Action.
“CWA has decided not to participate in part because of GOProud,” CWA President Penny Nance told WND.
FRC and CWA join the American Principles Project, American Values, Capital Research Center, the Center for Military Readiness, Liberty Counsel, and the National Organization for Marriage in withdrawing from CPAC. In November, APP organized a boycott of CPAC over the participation of GOProud.
It’s probably smart for them to bail out, before teh ghey gets all over them and they mutate into prancing Nancy-boys who frequent public restrooms and gym showers.
Don’t worry, though — there’s still plenty of craziness coming to next year’s CPAC, starting with the return of the John Birch Society (for the second year in a row), who will be listed as an “affiliate” with two large display booths: The John Birch Society to attend CPAC 2011 as affiliate.
