The Left's Attack on Rush and Conservatism

It has now been almost a week since the American Conservative Union Foundation's CPAC conference took place in Washington.

 

What a week it has been.

 

 

Since 1973, the American Conservative Union Foundation has hosted CPAC as a way to highlight ideas for conservative activists. 

 

This year we heard from many great speakers including conservative film producers, activists making local change and leaders like Newt Gingrich, Rush Limbaugh, former Governors Mitt Romney & Mike Huckabee, Governors Mark Sanford and Tim Pawlenty,  U.S. Senate Republican Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell, U.S. House Republican Leader Rep. John Boehner, U.S. House GOP Conference Chair Rep. Mike Pence and the conservative U.S. House Republican Study Committee Chair Rep. Tom Price.  U.S. Senators Bob Corker, Jim DeMint, John Cornyn, Tom Coburn, and Bob Bennett spoke.   And, we heard from leaders like Ambassador John Bolton, U.S. Representatives Michelle Bachmann, John Shadegg, and an emerging national leader Rep. Paul Ryan among many others.

 

 

 

 

In response the Obama White House and the liberals on the far left have attacked us at every turn.  They say we want the country to fail.  

 

 

The ACUF exists to educate.  The American Conservative Union exist to fight for our values.

 

 

We learned just after CPAC where these attacks were really coming from. 

 

 

In an effort to distract from their massive government overspending; earmark-ridden, wasteful budgets and stimulus packages; and liberal big-government plans, they are trying to paint us as wanting the nation to fail - when all we want is Obama's liberalism to fail.

 

 

The media is in a feeding frenzy attempting to make our conservative cause look disorganized, in disarray and unfocused just after the American Conservative Union Foundation held the largest CPAC gathering in history with almost 9,000 attendees.   CPAC made us look united.  They are trying to make it look like we are attacking each other.

 

These liberals are using the media feeding frenzy to say that our conservative spokespeople want the country to fail, but it is Obama's liberal policies we want to fail ... and they will.

 

 

Just before CPAC, our American Conservative Union Chairman, David Keene, was invited to the National Press Club to give a speech on the State of Conservatism. 

 

It is ironic because in his speech he pointed out that attempts in the past to paint conservatives as disorganized and dead have never worked.  He noted that conservatives always come back stronger than ever.  To hear David's speech you can go here:  David Keene National Press Club Speech.

 

 

But we must fight together and stick together.

 

 

The Obama administration and the liberals in Congress, led by Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid ,have already mortgaged the future of our children and grandchildren.  They passed an almost trillion dollar wasteful spending bill they called "stimulus" that was really a thank you card and gift to liberal activist groups like ACORN that helped them in their elections.

 

We must fight back.

 

 

 

They are attempting to distract us and the media so they can limit our influence.

 

 

 

Liberals are trying to distract the American people while they pass tax increases, more wasteful government spending and increase an ever-growing, inefficient federal bureaucracy.

 

Help us fight back.
