CPAC chair: Christie didn't 'deserve' an invite this year

The bit in bold particularly bothers me. Everyone needs to "live by the parameters of the movement"? Does that include individuals who are not conservative and who do not desire to live like a conservative lives? I thought individualism was a conservative trait (not that our conservatives would know authentic individualism if it punched them in the nose)? How far is Cardenas willing to go to force others to "live by the parameters of the movement"?

At any rate, demanding ideological purity certainly is not convincing. I'm one of those rarities who do not believe that any ideology actually correlates to reality one-to-one, and that the mark of a successful ideology is how well it adapts itself to the conditions of material reality, what it can trade off and where it can hold firm. An insistence on purity makes me less convinced, not more.

Because the "progressives" on the right hate anyone who is not pro-government.

RINO'S are pathetic creatures...

Progressives can have the authoritarian RINO freaks - they fit right in with the progressive party.

As an active libertarian I detest RINOS - they're always trying to get our candidates thrown off the ballot by questioning sigs...

RINOS are no better than progressives...

Government, Government, Government!!!!

You didn't list any palpable falsehoods. You tried to link a Cal Thomas opinion piece, and couldn't even do that right. How embarrassing.

Your link says "Page Not Found"

Looks like you lazily googled something and didn't bother to check the validity of the link

I went ahead and looked up the article. His premise is flimsy at best.

Is friends with a Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas crazy named Mohammed Qatanani. Appointed the guy's lawyer to a Superior Court judgeship. Not a Conservative.

Christie

Christie did not mention several salient details about his “friend.” Investigative journalist Daniel Greenfield reports that “despite the fact that Mohammed Qatanani was a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, the organization that is behind both al-Qaeda and Hamas, despite his own guilty plea to being a member of Hamas, and despite the fact that even in the United States, he had defended a charity that provided funds to children of suicide bombers (this is done as an incentive to reassure terrorists that if they die their families will be taken care of), Qatanani was not deported.”
