Beck was the keynote speaker at CPAC this year.  I didn't watch it.

Ron Paul won the CPAC straw vote for the 2012 nomination for President.  Doesn't mean thatttt much.  Romney has won it for the previous three years, and we see it much it help him in 2008.  Romney will probably be the party's choice in 2012, imo.

Palin came in way behind in 3rd.

Doesn't mean anything.

Ron Paul was endorsed by Ann Coulter.

The Congressman for Porksville has officially been co-opted, at least on a rhetorical level, by Movement Conservatism,

Teddy Roosevelt: big government socialist

In an apparent reference to John McCain, Beck condemned a "guy in the Republican Party who says his favorite president is Theodore Roosevelt." He then read disapprovingly the Roosevelt quote that "we grudge no man a fortune in civil life if it is honorably obtained and well used . . . so long as the gaining represents benefit to the community."

"Is this what the Republican Party stands for?" Beck demanded. He was answered with boos and cries of "no!" "It's big government, it's a socialist utopia and we need to address it as if it is a cancer."

Now to be fair, Teddy was probably the only man to shake a fist in J. P. Morgan's face and not end up face-down in a ditch anywhere, but I remember only a few years ago some major league wingnuts were swooning over Teddy due to his macho foreign adventurism.  The appeal is pretty obvious, once you read a bio of the man: he was a priggish, sheltered, fat nerd who overcame all that by a nearly Nietzschean Will to Power which made it impossible for him to stand down from any percieved threat.  But anyway, TR is out.  Who is next for a chop from wingnut mythology?

I can't wait until they finally figure out that Reagan wasn't a fiscal conservative.

  at the picture.

Well I'm waiting for someone to decry Reagan as being soft on terrorism.  Several constitutional lawyers have pointed out he said torture was an abomination and terrorists should be tried like common criminals (somewhat ironic, considering the Contras, but never mind).

Do you have a link to actual quotes for that?

I'd love to poke some people in the eye with that.

http://www.disam.dsca.mil/pubs/Vol%2010-2/Bremer.pdf that is the official Reagan policy I've linked to.  An extract:

Another important measure we have developed in our overall strategy is applying the rule of law to terrorists. Terrorists are criminals. They commit criminal actions like murder, kidnapping, and arson, and countries have laws to punish criminals. So a major element of our strategy has been to delegitimize terrorists, to get society to see them for what they are -- criminals -- and to use democracy's most potent tool, the rule of law against them.

As for torture:

It was also Ronald Reagan who signed the Convention Against Torture in 1988 -- after many years of countless, horrific Terrorist attacks -- which not only declared that there are "no exceptional circumstances whatsoever" justifying torture, but also required all signatory countries to "ensure that all acts of torture are offences under its criminal law" and -- and Reagan put it -- "either to prosecute torturers who are found in its territory or to extradite them to other countries for prosecution."

I've been trying to convince them to cut Eisenhower for being soft on commies.
