   It would seem that much of the `workings' of our world are based on fraud,   
   deception, and lies.   
      
      
   When the `global warming fraud unraveled after the exposure of e-mails that   
   showed it was nothing but a scam to keep the `research' bucks rolling in,   
   people realized they'd been had pretty big time over something thats nothing   
   more than normal activity of changing weather patterns, something that has   
   been occuring since before Man ever put one stone on another and called it a   
   `building'.   
      
      
   But notice there's been no talk of all the money we've been beaten out of in   
   that stupid-ass scam?   
      
      
   And the financial industry hasn't exactly been on the up and up, either.   
      
   Notice how the `Wall Street' occupation has sort of faded into the background?   
      
      
   Did you know that much of the economic woes of the world are driving   
   operations like Wall Street to clean up? I wonder why the `Occupiers' aren't   
   out there raising hell over it?   
      
      
   Anyway.....they had the CPAC recently. Sarah Palin ripped into a few RINO's   
   out there. Christie, for one. Rove for another.   
      
      
   5 Reasons CPAC Was a Surprising Success

   The Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) was a success--   
   surprisingly.   
      
      
   The venue was inconveniently outside the District of Columbia. The media were   
   focused on controversial issues like gay marriage and controversial   
   personalities like New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. Morale among conservatives   
   had been low since the November elections. Yet the conference mustered new   
   energy and excitement in five key ways.   
      
      
   1. Momentum behind new issues. Sen. Rand Paul's recent filibuster over drones   
   and Sen. Ted Cruz's clash with Democrats over the assault weapons ban last   
   week gave the conference a boost. Nothing motivates grass-roots conservatives   
   more than the sense that they are on the front lines of a constitutional   
   battle.   
      
      
   Those contests, and the recent political defeat for President Barack Obama   
   over the budget sequester, gave CPAC the sense that, as Cruz told the audience   
   in his keynote address, "We are winning."   
      
      
   2. Inspiration from Andrew Breitbart. Though he died over a year ago,   
   Breitbart still inspires the conservative movement like no other leader can.   
   Several standing-room-only panel discussions were devoted to the man and his   
   career. The Breitbart team was ubiquitous throughout the conference, breaking   
   stories, throwing parties, and clashing with leftists as usual, even while   
   challenging fellow conservatives to embrace debate.   
      
      
   3. Pushback from defense hawks. Contrary to the mainstream media narrative,   
   the big policy clash at CPAC was not over gay marriage but over the war   
   against terror. The Rand Paul surge seemed to move defense issues lower down   
   on the agenda. Even the CPAC straw poll was biased against hawks. National-   
   defense conservatives fought back in several panel discussions and in the   
   Breitbart News session for "the Uninvited."   
      
      
   4. The new--conservative?--pope. The election of Pope Francis the day before   
   CPAC began, though half a world away, created a festive mood around the   
   conference itself. Though some Catholic conservatives I spoke to had a   
   wait-and-see approach, others were happy about his focus on the Gospels and   
   the traditional teachings of the Church.   
      
      
   5. Promising new leaders. The conference featured several possible contenders   
   for 2016--not just straw poll winner Rand Paul and the youthful Marco Rubio,   
   but also Gov. Scott Walker and fellow Wisconsinite Paul Ryan, among others.   
      
   There is a renewed feeling that conservatives are just one great candidate   
   away from a political revival that will overcome the losses of 2012 and   
   prepare the way for a Reagan-esque renewal.
