CPAC: Cowardly Political Action Committee Bans MassResistance from 2018 Convention

For five years, I have worked with and have reported on
MassResistance, an assertive pro-family group which doesn’t run away from
speaking the truth about the LGBT Movement. I even served as its California
Director, since the Golden State has the most members in the larger MassResistance
community.

Here are some of the inconvenient yet compelling truths that
MassResistance stands by and shares:

Most people don’t hear this side of debate, much like the
negative verities associated with illegal immigration. However, the
consequences of allowing the LGBT movement to infiltrate the public sphere is
upending our natural rights and individual liberties of our nation’s citizenry
today. Cross-dressing drag queens lead story-time in public libraries, high
schools are learning about “LGBT historical figures”, and little children are
learning that gender is a mere social construction—and their parents cannot
object to these lessons.

Are you triggered yet? Apparently, The Conservative
Political Action Committee was. After promising to allow MassResistance a table
to present their mission and activism, CPAC’s Executive Director Dan Schneider rescinded
their approval at the last minute. What’s going on? I called CPAC’s parent
institution, the American Conservative Union, for answers on this troubling
development. One of the spokesmen informed me that they would reach out to Dan
Schneider, the Executive Director, and he would get my message.

No one got back to me, so I contacted them again, and asked
directly why MassResistance’s approval was taken away. The person who answered
the phone informed me that they had rescinded the invite for MassResistance
because the movement “neglected to use the language of common decency.” What
language exactly? He did not give me any examples. There is nothing which
MassResistance has published or said which had violated rules of decency or
propriety.

 Camenker’s report on
the sudden cancellation indicated that Schneider disinvited MassResistance simply
because this pro-family group favors an aggressive approach to confronting the
public officials who are imposing this agenda in our public schools. They
target our children, after all.

This criticism is really hypocritical. After all, as a presidential
candidate Donald Trump volleyed some of the most controversial, vitriolic
statements at his primary opponents, then at Hillary Clinton.

He got elected,
didn’t he? This country’s political culture needs tough rhetoric and clear-cut
action, although critics have slammed his speech as indecent or unkind in the
past. Moreover, President Trump is going to be one of CPAC’s keynote speakers. If
MassResistance gets rejected because of their lack of “common decency”, should
President Trump not be allowed to speak at CPAC? Give me a break! Conservatives
need to wake up. We are fighting a culture war, and Republicans should have been
aware of this fight since Pat Buchanan’s unlikely yet influential primary
challenge to George Herbert Walker Bush in 1992.

Now CPAC wants to shy away from the pro-family fight?

I contacted Brian Camenker, the President of MassResistance,
and he told me that news of CPAC’s cowardly move is spreading all over the
country and the world. Camenker then informed me that the Log Cabin
Republicans, a group of LGBT Republicans, are allowed to have a table at CPAC.
They are building momentum to normalize gay marriage and transgenderism in the
Republican Party platform, and they have fought for homosexual and transgenderism
in the United States military. He believes that Schneider rebuffed
MassResistance because they didn’t want to offend the Log Cabin group as well
as to promote a more “’libertarian” ambiance to attract younger people.

These gestures are not wise. Conservatism as a movement and
ideological force must defend natural marriage and the family. Former US
Senator and Presidential candidate Rick Santorum authored the book It Takes a Family, stressing the role of
Dads and Moms to transmit crucial values and principles on life, liberty,
property, and the United States’ constitutional political culture. He has also reminded
the public that the Republican Party was established not only to abolish
slavery, but to end polygamy, a barbaric practice which devalues women and
assaults the nuclear family.

So, Dan Schneider gave MassResistance a formal invite to have
a table at CPAC, then they changed their minds. I asked to speak with
Schneider, but my request was rebuffed since they are getting ready for the
convention. Before hanging up, I let Josh know that when more people hear about
this unjustified reversal, they might not have much of a convention to prepare
for. I called a friend of mine, informing her to contact the American
Conservative Union (or should I write “Conservative” in quotes at this point?)
and demand that MassResistance have a table at the convention.

In another telling irony, a conservative association is
silencing a pro-family group. Isn’t conservatism all about defending natural
rights, including freedom of speech? And all of this is based on some vague
standard of “common decency.”

I contacted Dr. Michael Brown, conservative Christian author
and speaker, and he issued to me the following statement:

“It is absolutely
outrageous that CPAC would ban the presence of MassResistance, one of the few
organizations in the country actually doing something to resist the advance of
aggressive LGBT activism, especially in our children's schools. This is even
more outrageous when you realize that CPAC welcomes the presence and
participation of a gay Republican organization like Log Cabin Republicans. CPAC
needs to reverse itself immediately with an apology to MassResistance.”

I urge every reader to contact CPAC right now: (202)
347-9388. Tell them to keep their promise and let MassResistance have their
table!
