WASHINGTON - A report says officials of the Conservative Political Action Conference(CPAC) have notified a homosexual group and an ultraconservative group that they will not be allowed to co-sponsor CPAC's 2012 convention.

The Daily Caller says it has obtained copies of official letters from CPAC sent to the homosexual group GOProud and the John Birch Society telling them they will not be allowed to co-sponsor the 2012 CPAC gathering in Washington.

According to the report, the decision was reached by a full vote of the American Conservative Union's board of directors. The ACU organizes and hosts CPAC each year.

Earlier this year, the inclusion of GOProud as co-sponsors of the 2011 convention led to a storm of protests from many conservative groups. Some decided they would boycott the event.

The Daily Caller says the exclusion of the John Birch Society came as a result of long-standing objections to the group over things such as "sensationalist accusations" which have included describing Dwight Eisenhower as a "dedicated, conscious agent of the Communist conspiracy."

JBS should change their name or something. They're never gonna outlive the negative reputation they gained from the cold war era. They seem like a pretty reasonable organization these days but most people don't really know anything about them except that they are supposed to hate the organization.

It wouldn't make a difference. They're going to do anything to keep them out because they've basically got all of the same views as Ron Paul. They get the same treatment he does

They don't like people being procedurally protective of the Constitution, knowing we won't be able to rely on it if we don't respect it when the results favor the other side too.

At least, that is what I have come to conclude, given that my admittedly sketchy research turned up nothing of major interest, at all.

Fox News host Glenn Beck aired an extraordinary program June 24 explaining how author M. Stanton Evans exposed how the facts released from the files of the FBI and the World War II-era Office of Strategic Services over the past two decades have vindicated the controversial charges of communism in the U.S. State Department by Senator Joseph McCarthy.

That's a smear against JBS, isn't it? My impression was that the John Birch Society never accused Eisenhower of being a communist agent; rather, that was just the person opinion of Robert Welch.

John Birch Society - Myth vs. Facts (http://www.jbs.org/about-jbs/myths-vs-facts)


Myth:

JBS Founder Robert Welch called President Dwight Eisenhower a Communist

Fact:


Originally detailing some of Pres. Eisenhower's history in a 1954 letter sent privately to a few friends, Mr. Welch's research grew over several years into a full-length book entitled The Politician (https://www.jbs.org/shop/books/the-politician) (1963). Once the book was published, its very existence was ignored while critics continued to dwell on only one of several possible conclusions offered by Mr. Welch.

The book provides 300 pages and 150 pages of footnotes and documentation, including covering one of Mr. Eisenhower's most immoral and despicable acts of authorizing "Operation Keelhaul (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Keelhaul)"; which used American soldiers to repatriate anti-communist Poles to their certain death or torture. Read the book (https://www.jbs.org/shop/books/the-politician) for yourself and discover what Mr. Welch did say and learn the role played by Mr. Eisenhower over his many years as one of our nation's military and political leaders.

Well, hopefully everyone abandons CPAC now. No reason to ever give these scum bags our money again.
