One downside of the doings in Egypt is that the absurd Republican antics at CPAC have been completely ignored in the news.  One major bone of contention has been the pseudo-Christian followers of Supply-side Jesus (not the real one, the Republican invention) refusal to attend because GOProud was invited and they hate LGBT people who do not convert and pray the gay away, as if that were possible.  Gay Republicans, come out from among them, because they just threw you under the bus.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"11praygay\"After being under attack for weeks by conservative groups who opposed the inclusion of GOProud, a conservative gay rights group, at the CPAC conference — with both groups and individuals boycotting the conference in protest — the new head of CPAC, Al Cardenas, finally responds [CPUKE delinked]:<\/font><\/p>\n

The new chair of the American Conservative Union, Al Cardenas, today distanced his organization from GOProud<\/strong>, telling FrumForum in an exclusive interview that \u201cit\u2019s going to be difficult to continue the relationship\u201d with the gay conservative organization<\/strong>.   […]<\/font><\/p>\n

\u201cI have been disappointed with their website and their quotes in the media, taunting organizations that are respected in our movement and part of our movement, and that\u2019s not acceptable. And that puts them in a difficult light in terms of how I view things,\u201d said Cardenas.  […]<\/font><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s going to be difficult to continue the relationship [with GOProud] because of their behavior and attitude<\/strong>,\u201d Cardenas told FrumForum. <\/font><\/p>\n

Comedy. Homophobic bigots pulled out of CPAC and it’s GOProud’s fault, apparently for not ignoring homophobic bigotry that’s directed at them<\/font><\/strong>.<\/font><\/p>\n

As for GOProud, well, zero sympathy for them… [emphasis added<\/em>]<\/font><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

For any gay person to be Republican is working against self-interest.  For that, matter, for any black, Latino, union, female, environmentally aware, sick, retired, and\/or human person to be Republican is working against self-interest, unless you happen to be very, very rich.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
