Atlas Vlogs CPAC

**********A SHORT BUT CLASSIC ATLAS MOVIE*******

If you missed Bolton's speech, listen here.  It was historic and the best thing I saw at CPAC. It was that impressive . One for the ages. I am still trying  to track down the full video of lightening Bolton's speech. But  listen to the audio. I insist! You will be tested and you will thank me.

Bluey wrote here;

Bolton, meanwhile, gave a moving speech about the role America must play in the world and the challenges we face from enemies. The most rousing line in the speech was his quip about firing Kofi Annan — something he wishes the UN had done while Annan was still in charge.

Bolton also went out of his way to sincerely thank the supporters who wrote letters to Congress, called their senators and did whatever was asked of them to support him during his confirmation fight. Unfortunately for Bolton and the American people, it wasn’t meant to be. Fortunately for us, Bolton isn’t giving up the fight for America.

. Grabbed this off Free Republic here.

Starting with Iran, Bolton said that the United States is the only nation in the world capable of dealing with Iran’s nuclear weapons program. “That’s not unilateralism,” said Bolton, “that’s leadership.”

Bolton seemed greatly relieved to be out of the UN, though he mentioned his disappointment at not being confirmed to the ambassador’s post there. But free of diplomatic constraint, he ripped at the institution and its former Secretary General, Kofi Annan, who Bolton said – to the cheers of the crowd -- “…should have been fired for incompetence long ago.”

On UN reform, Bolton said we have achieved very little. To actually reform the UN, he said, the funding of it must be changed from the “assessed dues” system. Now the U.S. pays about 22% of the UN’s budget. Stack that fact to one side. Consider then, Bolton said, that of the 192 members of the UN, 97 are a majority. And of the lowest-paying 97 UN members, all 97 of them pay a TOTAL of 0.3% of the UN’s budget in assessed dues. Place that aside the US contribution and you find that we pay about seventy times as much to the UN as a majority of its members.

Bolton said that we should only pay what we wish, not what the UN says we owe: “pay for what we want and demand we get what we pay for.”

Bolton Says US Should Seek `Regime Change' in Iran

Interview With Vice-President Cheney here:

QUESTION: Now, moving to North Korea, you've heard your friend John Bolton has said that this deal is a huge mistake and rewards bad behavior. Do you think that John Bolton has a point? Answer here

Back to CPAC -- little time to reflect but certain things I am sure of it. McCain's absence speaks volumes. He is soooo over.
Somewhere in Washington, DC A Conservative Political Action Conference Is Missing An Idiot

Brownback had a group of cheerleaders following him around chanting BROWNBACK BROWNBACK BROWNBACK. It's too early for any of this IMAO. My candidate hasn't arrived but if I am wrong and this in indeed the field of candidates, then the race is Romney's or Giuliani's to lose.

As far as Coulter's out of the left field "faggot" remark goes -- it may have been a poor choice of words but further Atlas investigation reveals John Edwards campaign has a mostly gay staff and rumors about his sexuality are rife. Just for knowing.

The fact is if there is any true to these rumors, that perhaps Edwards is gay, shouldn't we know that?  Shouldn't we know if this man is deceiving his wife, children, country and living a lie? Shouldn't we know if a man that represents the party that celebrates gay rights is so ashamed of it, he lives a ginormous lie? Regardless of your position on gay marriage, regardless of whether you celebrate or merely tolerate  the gay lifestyle, we ought to know if John Edwards is a liar and a hypocrite. More here. 

If you haven't heard her speech here is Part IPart II, Part III, Part IV 

Update: on the CPAC straw poll results. Mayor Giuliani finished a strong second with 17% of the vote, and won the second choice question. He was four points ahead of his nearest competitor on the combined first/second choice question. This combined measure is significant because it indicates a greater depth of support. This result represents a strong vote of confidence for Rudy from CPAC regulars.

Romney tops conservative straw poll 

Combined first + second choice:
Giuliani 34, Gingrich 30, Romney 30
First choice:
Romney 21, Giuliani 17, Brownback 15, Gingrich 14, McCain 12

Go here for the poll results of  what 63 right of center  bloggers think on key issues (yours truly was polled as well.) John Hawkins over at Right Wing News did good work.

UPDATE: Fausta thoughts on CPAC here.

UPDATE: I forgot to mention that I spent time with AJ Strata of the Stratsphere. I had a fascinating conversation with him (as his gorgeous daughter looked on) about the ongoing cover-up of  the macabre Litvinenko incident.  death. And Where the hell is the rest of that smuggled plutonium. I am going to have AJ on my show next week. You'll hear the latest in this frightening, really frightening story. I was riveted when he described how his family ihas the emergency plan should the plutonium hit the fan.

I like what he had to say about CPAC ...........you will too. Go here. And scroll he has a number of CPAC observations.

Re Giuliani nor the others mentioning how they'd fight political Islam (as you so aptly mentioned, with your hot new video-editing software ;)...

... that's just because you haven't been able to convince John Bolton to start counseling these guys... or to run himself (I know he has no shot, but wouldn't he be a whopper of a candidate!?).

Great work, Pamela...

Bolton's speech was terrific. I was glad that McPain did not show. He probably realizes that true conservatives feel betrayed by him. (Feingold and Mr. Maverick)
This Reagan Republican would never give him my vote.
Thanks Pam for the great coverage of CPAC.

Thanks for the nod, Pamela. You set the pace for all of us (and hopefully for the pols, too).

Coulter did not call Edwards a faggot. She said "*If* I were to call him," etc. Big difference.

And Romney spent a ton of money and effort getting his supporters there, Rudy just showed up.

Pamela, thanks for the VLOGs and your reporting. Excellent job!

Rudy was excellent on fighting terrorism, so far he has been the best in articulating what we need to do. But I don't think he has a chance b/c of his position on gun control.

Pennsylvania, Texas, RI, Main, Vermont, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, & Connecticut are some of the states I know of that have some form of the phrase "EVERY CITIZEN HAS A RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS IN DEFENSE OF HIMSELF AND THE STATE" in their state constitution.

I don't understand how any American can not understand the 2nd Amendment. Has Rudy been talking to McCain?

Thankfully, NRA will inform its members of Rudy's views, and that will be the end of Rudy.

re: Our Right to Bear Arms

Florida also has: "The right of the people to keep and bear arms in defense of themselves and of the lawful authority of the state shall not be infringed, except that the manner of bearing arms may be regulated by law."

Please ask AJ Strata(whom I consider to be moderate Centrist) how can there be support of a Presidential candidate who is tough on fighting Islamic Fascism while easy going on Illegal "guest worker" Immigration.

One concern I have due to lax enforcment of immigration laws is that the enemy is setting up shop right under our noses and since they are living here will be able to use out civil liberties against us.

Yet if anyone is against illegal 'guest worker' immigration, moderate Centrists like AJ attack back with cries of 'nativists' or how bad those Republicans are for standing in the way of poor people wanting to earn a living.

Seems to me Bush's big problem is that he isn't tough enough when fighting the enemy yet is very accomodating when allowing illigal immigration.

Centrist voters, IMO, are hard to follow since their policies are so contradictory, so perhaps AJ can provide some sort of meaningful definition of what are Centrist beliefs.

I do know Centrists love low taxes (who doesn't) but other than that what do they really stand for?

One concern I have with a Centrist candidates like Giuliani is his stance on 'undocumented workers' he welcomed them to NYC however in doing so enabled Mohammed Atta to set up a cell in Brooklyn.

Giuliani treated the 1993 WTC bombing as a law enforcement issues but obviously was unable to be very effective in enforcing the law since there was a Jihadist cell existing in 1998 in Brooklyn; Atta's cell, the cell which brought the towers down in 2001.

I like Rudy for having stood up to the Saudi money, for his stance on Arafat and mostly for the Christ Piss event in which he denied Brooklyn Museum access to government funded monies to pay for such crap.

I want to know how it is possible to support a Presidential candidate who is forceful in fighting Islamic Jihad yet lax when enforcing immigration law.

Seems to me such polices contradict one another and do nothing to protect and defind our borders.

Correction: defend not defind

Cut Rudy a break, guys.
Remember, you are criticizing a mayor of a major city which was near crisis when he took over. Rudy had the same stance on illegals as every big city mayor at that time, which is, let the INS handle it without our help, because we are responsible for daily health and education of our masses. Any city would be overwhelmed with tracking and investigations of all it's street people. The same goes for gun control. Crime can be reduced in cities if guns can be controlled. Rudy put his people to work cleaning the streets, removing the vendors of smut and the squeegy shake down artists, so normal people could spend a day in the city without being soiled upon.
What you don't understand about Rudy is that as president, as soon as he realized drugs and terrorism could be controlled if the borders were secure, that is what he would do. He is a doer, not agenda driven, like Bush who finds no problem with open borders and jailed border patrol agents on trumped up charges.
Rudy is hated and feared, because he is never PC. He will promote a Bernie Karrack (sp) to a top post because he knows the guy can and will do the job. No Harriet Meyers here. No playing it safe, that's for the rinos. When you point out to Rudy that certain Europian people have no guns, but cars are set afire on a daily basis by enemies living amongst them, he will know what to do. You will have your bear arms, and right to use them to protect yourself or your property. Rudy wants a society which is responsible, so do I. When I look at our elections, I see very little responsibility, and even less intelligence.
New York, the same city that gave us Rudy Guiliani also gave us Hillary Phalking Clinton. How stupid are they ?

Crime can be reduced in cities if guns can be controlled. Really? Ever hear of Washington, DC?

"Gun Control? Its the best thing you can do for crooks and gangsters. I want you to have nothing. If I'm a bad guy, I'm always gonna have a gun. Safety locks? You will pull the trigger with a lock on, and I'll pull the trigger. We'll see who wins." Sammy "The Bull" Gravano (National Review, 9-13-99,p4)

A vote is like a rifle: its usefulness depends upon the character of the user. (Theodore Roosevelt)

Rudy succeeded in reducing crime in NYC simply because the dominant Liberal population, who could no longer tolerate all the crap and crime they had created, did not stand in Rudy's way.

When Giuliani brought security and cleaniness to the city the Liberals then deemed him Hilter because he refused to use tax-paid monies to support crappy art.

Living in NYC gives a perspective into the Liberal mindset, that being, as long as a Liberal gets what they want and all the goodies they demand they are happy people but get in the way of their demands, their lifestyle, their needs, you will be deemed Hilter.

So if you're out of the closet, you're "flaunting" your sexuality and if you're in the closet you're just a liar and a deceiver?

You don't leave much room for gay people to exist, except, of course, for just begging for scraps at the Conservative table.

GodofBiscuts

Of course 'gays' means anyone who is 'not gay' is bad. Ever try living as a straight person in a gay world? Inclusion is something gays cannot tolerate.. go to a restaurant it must be filled with gays, same with bars(one West Village bar wouldn't let me in the door because I was not gay), same with parties, social events, parades all must be gay, gay gay. As a straight person try doing business with gays, you won't get in the door.

Maybe you should go to NYC restaurant LIPS where a person has the choice of either using THe Men's Room or The Other Room.

Now which door is a straight female supposed to use?

This dwelling in gayism is really tiresome.


Re Rudy and Illegals

I believe it was Milton Friedman who once remarked that America didn't have a problem with illegal immigration, it had a problem with welfare. If you were to put 'crime' and 'terrorism' along side 'welfare' I would agree whole heartedly with that statement.

I believe Rudy is on record as saying he favored a guest worker program. I was against a guest worker program until a friend of mine made an interesting point: Does America benefit more from an American picking strawberries for $20 an hour or from a guest worker doing the same thing for minium wage. Personally, I like cheap food from Wal Mart and as a whole I like cheap stuff.

If a guest worker program is done right, I could see it as a valuable tool. The first step would be ensuring that it has the correct purpose: to provide people looking for a better life a chance to work here while giving the federal gov't the power to crack down on criminals, terrorists and those looking to use our various social programs. The foundation would have to be immediate deportation/criminal charges for immigrants found not in the program and a strict code of conduct for the people in the program, especially in regards to welfare, terror cells/radical religious groups and anchor babies.

I could see Guiliani being the guy to create such a program. His two major accomplishments in NY were fighting crime and cutting the budget. I believe he would use the guest worker program as a grounds for taking tougher action against immigrants found outside it while fighting against the gov't handouts progressives would try to lace it with. I especially admire the way Rudy stood by his officers in the Amadou Diallo incident and other such cases. I wish President Bush would show the same loyality to his border agents.

Clearly something has to be done about the borders. Some are estimating that nearly 3-4,000 Americans are killed a year as is by illegals and that number would jump dramatically with a major terror attack. I think the biggest hurdle is businesses across America who don't want to give up their guest workers. They also have the money to drag out a fight over illegal immigration for a very long time. At the end of the day our best bet may be to provide them with a way to keep their workers so we can take the fight to those that come to this country with less than admirable intentions.

"The fact is if there is any true to these rumors, that perhaps Edwards is gay, shouldn't we know that?"

Rumor has it that you're a Zionist skank. Care to deny that?

Tracy - rumor has it you're a socialist, boot-licking paracite.

Pamela, keep up the great work! It was great meeting you at CPAC. You have the best coverage of CPAC by the way.

Ayn Rand at 100: "Yours is the Glory"

  • Aynrandstamp_1

  • Speaking to the unnamed, unchampioned, beating heart of her new land, Ayn was to say: 'Yours is the glory.'"
    A man whose ability and independence leads others to reject him, but who perseveres nevertheless to achieve his values. Man as an individual, as a creator. What's the most depraved type of human being? Not a sadist or a murderer or a sex maniac or a dictator; "The man without a purpose." Yet most people seem to go through their lives without a clearly defined purpose.

  • Life has Loveliness to sell,
    All beautiful and splendid things,
    Blue waves whitened on a cliff,
    Soaring fires that sways and swing,
    And children's faces looking up,
    Holding wonder like a cup

    Life has Loveliness to sell,
    Music like a curve of Gold,
    Scent of pinetrees in the rain,
    Eyes that love you, arms that hold,
    And for your spirit's still delight,
    Holy stars that star the night.

    Spend all you have for loveliness,
    Buy it and never count the cost;
    For one white singing hour of Peace
    Count many a year of strife well lost
    And for a breath of ecstasy
    Give all you have been, or could be.
