This week is the right wing’s annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), which is organized by the 50-year old American Conservative Union. CPAC is where conservative stars are born, and where hopeful Republican Party presidential candidates undergo the mandatory rite of passage.

"After the Super Bowl and the two parties' national conventions, CPAC is the most covered event in the country," says Al Cardenas, chairman of the American Conservative Union. "It's the only venue where thousands of activists get to see, back to back during our three-day conference, the likely 2016 leading GOP presidential candidates and begin to create perceptions which last through Election Day."

With the national mainstream media tuning in, it’s an opportunity for the Republican Party to let America know exactly where it stands on the issues du jour.

Last month, the NORC Center for Public Affairs Research released the results of a major new survey that reveals the American people's list of issues they believe should be the focus of government attention in 2014.

1. Its fricking crazy town in DC with

all the insane statements I've read from the key speakers at this conference.


Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your mouth,
Blowing down the backroads headin' south.

Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your teeth,

You're an idiot, babe.
It's a wonder that you still know how to breathe.

2. Right Wingers have painted themselves into a dangerous corner with their own Darkside Machinations

and hath inculcated toxic fear & misdirected wrath. Verily, it is said by those who say such things.
