First of all, kudos to CPAC for letting Barr speak, and to the moderator at the event, who kept things civil.
Yes, Bob Barr addressed CPAC. He was also booed when he declared that waterboarding is torture. However, he is right. America is better than her enemies, because we DO adhere to the rule of law. Barr is the kind of honest Conservative whose voice needs to be heard. So listen to what he says in this video clip. It makes perfect sense.
And about CPAC itself? Whether or not you agree or disagree with what ANY of the speakers are saying there, you cannot deny that they are giving the floor to Conservative speakers from ALL schools of Conservative thought, and not just any one segment. Now, I might not like everything that is being said, but EVERYTHING is being said, and CPAC is not being hijacked by fringe elements, like what has happened at other recent events. This is out and out honesty, and a breath of fresh air. I don't agree with some of it, but at least Conservatives of my stripe are being represented, and I very much appreciate that.
