CPAC 2012: Breitbart: There
are Two Paths, One is America, The Other is Occupy!
I headed to CPAC with a
heavy but hopeful heart. I was looking for Conservatives who know that
the Occupy people are not "delightful" as John Tillman described them. I
was looking for Conservatives who stand by our troops ALWAYS, no matter
what, and would never use the word Marine and vile in the same
sentence! I was looking for Conservatives who would never tell me that
I have something in common with the radical Occupy "freaks" as Andrew
Breitbart so accurately described them. I was looking for Conservatives
who are loyal to our troops and who would never abandon them to pacify
freaks. I was looking for loyalty among our ranks. I am sick and tired
of listening to men like John Tillman who try and make nice with freaks
and who stab our troops in the back and who stab their brave defenders
in the back. I am sick and tired of listening to those who continuously
beat up on John Boehner and the Republicans, who have passed tons of
legislation, but I hear not a peep out of them that Harry Reid sits in
the Senate with all that legislation shoved in his drawer!!! The
Democrats love these folks and as they beat up on this Republican
Congress, they beat down a golden opportunity we have to lead this
country out of the darkest days we have ever seen. The outrageous and
irresponsible actions of Obama and this administration could fill
volumes and is so much fodder for Conservatives, yet beating up on
Republicans is the norm is some groups and to such a degree, I am
convinced they have been infiltrated by the lefties!! That is clear to
many of us Conservatives. I went to CPAC looking for loyalty among our
ranks and my heart came away rejuvenated and certain that we will leave
in the dust those that choose to do the work of the left! I encourage
Mr Tillman and those who think Conservatives have anything in common
with the Occupy "freaks" to listen to Andrew Breitbart's speech at CPAC.

The Occupy people are NOT
"DELIGHTFUL", they are, as Andrew so accurately describes them
"the same shock troops who have been shocking us, pointing their
fingers at us, trying to instigate riots with the Police, these people
are the definition of un-American." Andrew went on" "You want a unity
speech: Ask not what the candidate can do for you, ask what you can do
for candidate, and that is what the Tea party is, we are there to
confront them on behalf of our candidate.
I will march behind
whoever the candidate is because if we don't, we lose. There are 2
paths, one is America, the other one is Occupy, one is America, the
other is Occupy!!!
Anyone that is
willing to stand next to me, to fight the Progressive left, I will be in
that bunker and if you're not in that bunker because you are not
satisfied with this candidate, MORE THAN SHAME ON YOU, YOU'RE ON THE
OTHER SIDE!"
You get that, Mr
Tillman?!
What a unity speech
Andrew gave and the loyalty I was looking for responded with thundering
applause!
Thanks to Katie O'Malley, I
first met Andrew Breitbart at CPAC in 2009. I was collecting post cards
for our troops and I asked Andrew if he would fill one out. At the end
of the evening Andrew handed me his handwritten post card and what he
wrote grabbed hold of this mother's heart forever. I knew what he had
written was profound and that standing in my presence was a great man, a
brave man, the George Washington of my lifetime! I felt at that moment
that we were freezing on the banks of the Delaware, the Soldiers were
downtrodden and beaten up and before me stood this man of great courage
who let me know that this battle was just beginning and he would lead us
through the icy biting waters boldly and we would win this fight! Here
is what he wrote to our troops back in 2009 at CPAC:
"Dear Soldier,
I apologize from the bottom
of my heart for the putrid behavior of the American media. You have
exhibited heroism and they took the lowest road. I have committed all
of my resources to undo that wrong. And the mainstream media and
Hollywood will have been exposed as the traitors they are."
Andrew Breitbart
Andrew Breitbart has never
abandoned this promise. He has forged on and taken on the mainstream
media at great cost to himself and his family. Please keep Andrew and
his family in your prayers. I can never thank him enough for his courage
and his unwavering loyalty to our troops, to this great country and to
all Conservatives. I offer you back Andrew, my unwavering loyalty and
my utmost appreciation and respect. I ask all Conservatives to join
me. Let's hunker down and get in the bunker with Andrew and remember as
we move toward this election, there are only two roads, one is America,
and one is Occupy!
Now the rest of the
story:
I can report that CPAC was
wonderful this year! Conservatives were spared the obnoxious flooding of
the Ron Paul people. Civility returned to CPAC and by that I mean, with
the absence of the Ron Paul groupies, speakers were actually able to be
heard rather than shouted down. Where was the Ron Paul entourage this
year? Ron Paul didn't buy them the tickets as he had in the past. This
year, the Ron Paul ranters all went to Maine and we were all so very
thankful. Interesting too that Ron Paul didn't win the Straw Poll this
year! Coincidence, I don't think so!
All the panels at CPAC are
insightful yet the only panel which addressed the biggest threat to our
national security was Pamela Geller's. Pam's panel consisted of some of
the bravest Americans among us and what these panelists had to say
should be heard by every American who cares about the safety of their
family and the future of their children! The panel was "Islamic
Law In America: How the Obama Justice Dpet is Selling Us Out. The
Speakers were: Pamela Geller-Atlas Shrugs, Roberty Spencer-JihadWatch.org,
Robert Muise, Illario Pantano, J. Christian Adams and James Lafferty.
All of the people on this
panel have been threatened for speaking the truth! Can you imagine
that, right here in America?! My Son's 4 long deployments fighting
terrorists over in Iraq and Afghanistan, and yet brave Americans right
here in this country are threatened for doing everything they can
to warn all of us that there is danger to us all, right here in our own
backyard! Gold Star families grieving the loss of their precious loved
ones who gave everything to keep us safe, and yet brave Americans right
here in this country are threatened for speaking truth! Young and
beautiful Warriors lie in Walter Reed without their precious limbs who
risked everything to fight pure evil, and yet right here among us is the
enemy within. When you are in the DC area you should go and visit these
heroes at Walter Reed, I have, and you will never meet more courageous
Americans! Some will say, it is all in vain! I say, how dare you say
that! As their little selves have remained safe on this soil since
9/11, I say how dare you say that!!! Great sacrifices have been made by
those among us and God knows what might have been had they not charged
after these maniacal killers on our behalf after 9/11. Now we have the
liberal left who have taken up their cause right here in America and
shame on those who enable them! Grover Norquist talks a good game with
his tax agenda but I suggest to you he talks out of both sides of his
mouth! I was outraged when he was invited to a Tax Day Tea Party rally
here in Chicago and when I objected to this invitation I was told that
my concerns regarding Grover were shared, but hey, he knows alot about
taxes??!! Needless to say, I did not attend this event. What is going
on is outrageous to me. The apathy and willingness to look the other
way is exactly what led to the murder of 3000 Americans on 9/11. I
believe all the bombings and murder of Americans before 9/11 could have
been prevented, had administrations not acted with fear and appeasement,
but rather with strength and bold action! All agree Reagan was a
good President but I will never forgive him and his administration for
not retaliating after the Beirut Barracks bombing where we lost 241
American servicemen! They were murdered by a suicide bomber who
detonated 12,000 pounds of TNT as our Warriors slept! The Clinton
administration repeatedly looked the other way and as he dallied with
Monica in her blue dress, the terrorists bombed and plotted and planned
9/11! Major Hasan slaughtered 13 Americans at Ft Hood and Obama and his
administration refuse to call this a terrorist attack, no, how dare we
speak the truth about this, we must call this "workplace violence!" It
seems to me the apathy among Americans is worse now than it ever was
before 9/11! While Grover dazzles the folks with his tax pledges and Ron
Paul insists we should just be nice to our enemies, the evil among us
grows. It is frightening! This enemy doesn't respect weakness,
they are laughing at us as they, with all the cooperation of the liberal
left, the mainstream media and those posing as Conservatives, they
further their agenda under their useful tools of political correctness
and racist claims! I ask you to click on the links below and educate
yourself, watch the testimony of those on Pam Geller's panels. These
brave Americans are trying to warn you, do not look away! Do it, if not
for yourself, for your children and their future. After the attacks on
9/11, I remember watching interviews of folks who worked at the airport
where the terrorists practiced and prepared for their jihad, for their
murder of our innocent loved ones! They wished they would have reported
the suspicious behavior of these maniacs, because if they had, it is
very possible they could have stopped the most horrific event of our
lifetime! I often wonder if Americans really believe that another 9/11
will not occur and I wonder about this because the apathy around me is
incredible and negligent and downright frightening. The economy is bad,
I agree, but NOTHING, NOTHING will ever be as bad as losing 3,000
Americans because we looked the other way and let ourselves be
bullied into silence by those with a most dangerous liberal
agenda!

Below are two links
regarding Grover Norquist and Suhail Khan, both who sit on the Board of
Directors of the American Conservative Union. In my opinion, their
nefarious relationships are frightening. The phone number is listed
below to the ACU. I hope some of you will call and ask this Conservative
organization if they are not concerned by the information available on
these men.
Phone: (703) 836-8602.

I have a list of people I
pray for every night and Pam Geller is on that list. This phenomenal
woman of courage continues to do everything she can to warn Americans
about the dangers of radical Islam and the creeping of Sharia into
our daily lives. Please include her, our Troops, Andrew Breitbart, and
all the truly brave Americans who stand in broad daylight and report the
truth and in doing so fight against an evil that will virtually destroy
our very beautiful way of life, if they succeed.
I want to be sure and
mention a very brave woman who gave up quite a prestigious job rather
than bow down to the liberal left. She has now devoted her life
to exposing radical Islam on our streets and in our neighborhoods.
Imagine, she must do this without exposing who she is. Imagine that,
right here in America! I thanked her at CPAC and I thank her again
now. She too is in my prayers. You see her videos daily as I send
them out all the time.
I was in the company
of Marnka Peschmann at CPAC. Marinka is the author of "The
Whistleblower" (http://www.marinkapeschmann.com/)
and I'm quite proud to call her my friend. Marinka's book is a
cautionary tale about the corrupt Clinton administration. The disgusting
manner in which the Clintons and their cronies used and abused people
will make you sick. I had to take a shower after reading it. Why should
you read this book? The best line in the book: "The Obama
administration is the Clinton administration on steroids!" Many of the
same players from the Clinton era operate now out of this
administration. Marinka too is a very brave woman and she is on my
prayer list.
I want to take this
opportunity to thank Eric Eversole for allowing me to participate on the
only military voting panel at CPAC (http://mvpproject.org/).
Too many of our military voters were disenfranchised in the last
election and of all the Americans whose votes should ALWAYS be counted,
it is the brave men and women of our military!!! The best way anyone
can help ensure our military voting rights are protected is to contact
your local election reps at least 60 days before the election in
November and ask them if they are ready to comply with the MOVE Act and
get those ballots out to the troops! As the election gets closer, we
will be sending out more info and it is our hope everyone across this
country will get involved and help!
Now for one of the moments I
enjoyed the most at CPAC. It was the presentation by Col Oliver North
of the CPAC American Heroes Award. This award was presented to Purple
Heart Recipient Sgt Courtney Wayne Rouch USMC. This man is a Hero and
one of the most humble I have ever witnessed. I challenge you to watch
this segment of CPAC without a box of Kleenex! Col North is one of my
personal Heroes and I am forever grateful to Pepper for making it
possible for me to meet him back in 2007, at my first CPAC. It was an
honor and a memory I will cherish forever. Thank you Pepper!
Col North's speech was
uplifting and beautiful and makes you stop and think about the
extraordinary military Heroes among us. He reminds us that "every
single person in our armed forces today either came or stayed knowing
they were going to go to war." He reminds us that "The classical
definition of a Hero isn't someone wearing a spandex suit and cape, it's
not the person who catches the pass in the end zone, it is a
person who puts themselves at risk for the benefit of others!" Just
think about that and the next time you see one of our military Heroes,
hug them and thank them! Col North believes he has the best job in all
of television because he gets to keep company with America's Heroes and
I think he is so absolutely correct!!! He recalls the privilege of
serving with the Heroes of Vietnam and he emphatically states: "What
happened to those who served in Vietnam should never ever happen again
in America!!!" That was a standing ovation moment and there were more.
Please take the time to watch Col North's speech and send it to every
Vietnam Hero you know and all our Veterans and active duty Heroes! For
that matter, please send it to everyone you know!
The Blogger Awards are, in
my opinion, awards of bravery and courage. Remember, these folks report
the stories that the lamestream media won't! Jim Hoft made such a good
point when he said that Republicans need to realize, the MSM is not
going to report their stories but the bloggers do! They are the
shepherds of truth!
Pam Geller received the
Anti-Jihad Blogger of the Year award and no one is more deserving. Her
acceptance of the award was somewhat "tied up" and it was brilliant!
You can also see the other blogger awards listed on Pam's link below:

Jim Hoft of Gateway
Pundit (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENsb93d4oN8)
received the Tea Party Blogger of the year award! Jim Hoft is a good
man and such a Patriot and I encourage all of you to check his website
everyday!
http://www.thegatewaypundit.ttcom/
I was extremely grateful for
his post declaring Dana Loesch Hero of the Year when Dana stood up for
our Marines recently. With a mother's heart, I say thank you both! I
for one am sick and tired of seeing our military raked over the coals
and some thrown in Leavenworth! I am sick especially of those who
espouse righteous indignation over our Marines making one mistake yet
Mr. Tillman, I do not hear this same righteous indignation from you
when innocent young girls are murdered by their parents in a practice so
horribly called "honor killings!" There is no honor in killing your own
children! I hear no righteous indignation from you when Muslim women and
children are stoned to death! Not a peep!
I want to thank Chad, an
Iraq Veteran who is like a Son to me and who always helps me when I am
in DC. Chad spent a year in the Green Zone in Iraq and he tells me he
may be heading for another deployment. The amazing thing is that he
tells me he wants to go. This is the universal heroic attribute that I
find among all of our brave Warriors, they all want to be anywhere that
their Brothers are if they are in danger. This is a remarkable bond of
loyalty and devotion that nothing compares to, NOTHING! It is the
most powerful and sacred bond I have ever witnessed. Please keep Chad
and all our troops in your prayers!
To Ben and Chad B. and all
the Veterans and fellas who provided security, thank you for a great
job! Although some of the Occupy freaks did manage to sneak in a few
times, Ben, Chad and the security did a great job clearing them out and
keeping everyone safe!!! The Occupy radicals were gathered down on the
street but so far away from the CPAC event that whoever paid them $60 to
attempt to disrupt CPAC totally wasted their money. Don't Ya Just Love
it?!!!! Hey, at least they worked for a day!
To Brett Rappaport of
www.wifiam, a Conservative radio show out of
New Jersey, thank you for listening and for your interest and concern
regarding lst Lt Michael Behenna and all our Soldiers sitting in
Leavenworth! I hope you will let those wonderful New York detectives
who introduced me to you know that I truly enjoyed meeting all of you
and am grateful to them for the introduction! I'm afraid I misplaced
their cards so if you will, please pass this to them! I intend to keep
talking to anyone who will listen to me about this travesty of injustice
our Soldiers have suffered! It is outrageous that this administration
continues to release terrorists, yet our Sons continue to sit in
Leavenworth! Where is the outrage in this country?! My heart will not
be still until we right this wrong! I refer all to listen to "The
Ballad of Michael Behenna" by Chad Evan Todd. It tells the story of the
insane catch and release policy our troops are fighting under and it
tells the tragedy of what happened to one Brave American Soldier.
Always remember this please, Michael never left his men!

I would be remiss if I
didn't thank Jeannie and James, two Freepers and Patriots who mind you,
are in their 70's and who rarely spend any time in their own beds (their
picture is attached). Let it be known that these two great American
Patriots travel all across this country in their truck visiting
different Conservative events, all because of their great love for this
beautiful America! Jeannie told me one time something I will never
forget. When I asked her if James and her ever stop, she replied,
"James and I will do all we can to take this great country back and
on election night in November, we can look at each other and say we did
all that we could do!" I love you both very much and I hope you know
that in the circles we run in, we are all so very proud to know you both
and we are all so very grateful for all you do!
At this CPAC I am happy to
report, thanks to Chad and Jeannie for all their help, we collected 100
Post Cards of Support for our Troops in Afghanistan and when I get them
all copied, they will be a part of Volume 17 of Post Cards For Soldiers!
These Post Cards of love and support for our brave men and women will
then be on their way to an Army unit in Afghanistan. My special thanks
to all who wrote a Post Card. These 17 Volumes of Post Cards I have
collected over the years are historical documents and proof positive for
future generations that come after us that across this great country,
the men and women of this war have been loved and revered by their
fellow Americans!
Lastly, it is always my
tradition at CPAC to take to dinner Phil and Heather of Free
Republic, who headed up and led the Free Republic stand out in front of
Walter Reed for 6 solid years, in rain, and sleet and snow, no matter
the weather, these great Patriots of Free Republic never missed one
Friday night! Not ever! Ron of GOE joined us and Cindy and Chief too
and they were always a part of the Friday night vigil! The Band of
Mothers is so very grateful to the Patriots of Free Republic for all
they have done for our troops! Phil and Heather happen to love Shelly's
Back Room, a cigar bar and just a great Washington, DC establishment, so
that is where we gathered! As you can see from the attached pictures,
we had the coolest get-together in all of CPAC! My very special thank
you to Kaite O'Malley who, as usual, brings together a great group of
Patriots! If I haven't told you lately Katie, you ROCK! Pam Geller and
Robert Spencer joined us, along with Jim Hoft of Gateway Pundit, some of
the great Breitbart crew including Andrew Marcus and Maura Flynn! DC
Brian (a brilliant young man!) and his girlfriend joined us too! It was
great fun and there is nothing more enjoyable than to spend an evening
with people who truly do put their boots on the ground for our troops
and this great cause we all fight for known as freedom and liberty!
I end this report with some
great Post Cards to the Troops! Please pray for them every night and
speak about them and think about them for they think of all of you every
single day of their life!
Dear Soldier,
Words simply cannot express the gratitude we feel for what you do. The
person who offers themselves to the military in order to protect the
freedoms of others is truly a person of honor, integrity, and strong
moral character. Thank you for your service.
Dear Soldier,
It is an honor to have a chance to put pen to paper, and express my
heartfelt appreciation for your sacrifice. My children will know that
they owe their freedom to Heroes Like You!
Dear Soldier,
from the Proud Father of an active Duty Marine, Thank You For Your
Service! Our whole family actively supports our military by countering
the anti-war, anti-USA maggots!
Dear Soldier,
Thank you so much for all you do for our country. You are the real
Heroes we should flock to and our culture needs to respect your bravery
and courage MORE! God Bless You, Stay Safe and Come Home Soon!
Dear Soldier,
Thank you so much for your honorable and selfless commitment and
sacrifice. As a twenty year-old college student I cannot fathom the
intense work that goes into protecting the liberty I am blessed by. I
praise God and pray for all of you and am in your debt.
Dear Soldier,
greetings from CPAC!! Please know that your sacrifice and efforts are
ABSOLUTELY appreciated by Conservatives across the country. Godspeed
and hurry home!
Dear Soldier,
Thank you so much for your service. We are thinking about you and
praying for your. Please return home safely.
Dear American
Warfighter, God Bless you and your unit. Our prayers are with
you everyday. America's future rests on your shoulders, a weight which
has been bared by our military since our founding. Your service is much
appreciated by me and our generations to come. Soldier On!
Dear Soldier,
You serve without hesitation for our freedoms. You are the most
honorable of all Americans. I love you and continue to pray for your
safety. God Bless you!
Lastly, this Post Card will
surely touch your heart, it is from Gold Star Mother Debbie Lee:
My dear Hero, Thank you for
your service and sacrifice. I am a very grateful American. Let me know
if I can do anything for you! God Bless! Debbie Lee, Proud Mother of
Marc Alan Lee, Navy Seal, KIA 8-2-06. The motto of The Band of Mothers
is "Warriors Come From Warriors" and Gold Star mother Debbie
Lee exemplifies this motto! She is a mother in the truest sense of the
word for her Son gave his life in defense of his country and Debbie asks
his Brothers and Sisters, "Let me know if I can do anything for you!" I
know her Son is so very proud of her!
America is a beautiful
nation and a strong nation and some of her Greatest Patriots are
described in this report. I truly believe that goodness will prevail in
America and what I do know for certain is that we must keep fighting,
for our children and their future, so that we pass on to them this
magnificent freedom and liberty our forefathers fought so hard to pass
on to us!
God Bless America and God
Bless and Watch Over Our Troops!
