Podcast: I Feel Snitty Episode 120: CPAC? CCRAP! Premiere Date: 3/5/21 Length: 16:01 (2,279 words) Link: https://ifeelsnitty.podbean.com/e/cpac-ccrap/ Transcript:  Welcome to I Feel Snitty , episode 120, entitled, “CPAC? CCRAP!” I’m your host, Craig Rozniecki.   Well, the Conservative Political Action Conference, or CPAC, was held in Orlando this past weekend, and between a Nazi-esque symbol stage design and multiple canceled speakers at an event called “America Uncanceled,” it was surely something to behold…   To provide you a glimpse of these patriotic and genius-inspiring festivities, I thought I’d share with you some of my favorite quotes from the conference, along with my snarky remarks to them, of course. I’ll save the best, or worst, for last – yes, several quotes from the former Cheeto-in-Chief himself. Let’s begin.   Dan Bongino: "Talk is great. The do matters." …and this is exactly the kind of promotion Mountain Dew didn’t want.   J...

While Minnesota Congresswoman and lead candidate to star as Linda Blair's character in a remake of The Exorcist - Michele Bachmann - won't be running for re-election, she's decided to let the crazy words fly for as long as she's still in office. After Arizona Governor Jan Brewer vetoed SB 1062 late last month, which would have allowed professionals to refuse service or employment to individuals due to their religious beliefs (::cough:: gays ::cough::), Bachmann decided to make the following statement on the matter when speaking to conservative radio host Lars Larson this past weekend during the CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference): "There's nothing about gays in there. But the gay community decided to make this their measure. I think the thing that is getting a little tiresome, the gay community, they have so bullied the American people, and they've so intimidated politicians. The politicians fear them, so that they think they get to dictate ...

At CPAC this past weekend, NRA executive vice president Wayne LaPierre was introduced with the Huey Lewis Song "The Power of Love" playing in the background. Just 9 months ago, my most recent book ( LOL at the GOP - Volume 3: Guns Don't Kill, Cars Don't Drive, and Ovens Don't Bake ) was released. On the cover of this book is a man shooting a gun, which fires hearts at an individual, who appears to be full of smiles and laughter. Either Mr. LaPierre saw the cover of my book and took it a bit too literally, or I may start charging people money to reveal their futures. How I don't know which direction I'll go is anyone's guess. Perhaps I do know, but am not telling anyone - that or I'm just full of nonsense. http://www.lulu.com/us/en/shop/craig-rozniecki/lol-at-the-gop-volume-3-guns-dont-kill-cars-dont-drive-and-ovens-dont-bake/paperback/product-21060371.html http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/mon-march-10-2014/the-amazing-base---power-of-love

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is back in the news and not for his closing of the George Washington Bridge. No, he's back in the news due to a speech he gave at the Conservative Political Action Conference, where he riled the base but garnered a chuckle out of me for stating the following: "I've got asked the question last year. Governor you're very popular in a blue state. How can you export that to the rest of the country, given the intolerance on social issues in your party?' And I said, well, let me ask you a question. You said the Republicans are intolerant. I'll just tell you this: At our national convention, we've had people like Tom Ridge and Colin Powell and Condi Rice speak at our national conventions. Even though I don't agree with their position on abortion. Tell me, sir, the last pro-life Democrat who was allowed to speak at a Democratic convention? By the way, don't strain yourself, because there's never been one. They're...

Judging by what I read, CPAC should no longer stand for Conservative Political Action Committee. It should stand for Crazy People Are Coming. This could be seen as a double-entendre, for it could be referring to the people speaking at this gathering or how these people see everyone else. Last Friday, audience member Scott Terry - a 30-year old from North Carolina - had a few interesting bits of commentary to share with the other audience members, as well as speakers. After presenter K. Carl Smith of the Frederick Douglass Republicans referenced a letter written by Douglass, where he forgave his former master, Terry blurted out, "For what? For feeding him and housing him?" Sadly, this comment was met with applause and cheers. Following this back-and-forth, Terry was heard saying, "Why can't we just have segregation?" Terry wasn't done there. He also said that whites have been "systematically disenfranchised" by the federal government. When...

Not long ago, I wrote a bit about Republican Ohio Senator Rob Portman, giving him kudos for writing an op-ed in the Columbus Dispatch , where he came out in support of gay-marriage rights - the first Republican Senator to fully support these rights. Not much time lapsed before other members of the party made me shake my head in disbelief. Perhaps it shouldn't have come as much of a surprise, but following Portman's op-ed, he received his fair share of criticism from members of his own party at CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference). Kansas Representative Tim Huelskamp was one such member. On Friday, Huelskamp said the following with regard to Portman: "Here's a senator who couldn't deliver his own home state in the presidential election. ...somehow, we're supposed to believe that if we abandon traditional marriage, that liberals are going to flock to us." When asked how he would react if his son announced he was gay, like Portman's son...

As most of the country (and world) should know by now, if there's one person a Republican politician shouldn't mirror as far as speech-giving goes, it's former President George W. Bush. The guy has had more jokes told about his speech-gaffes than Snoop Dogg has smoked joints. Well, Mitt Romney recently attempted to go against that common wisdom and become one with his innermost Bush while speaking at the CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) this past Friday. On February 4th of 2005, when speaking to a divorced mother of three in Omaha, Nebraska, former President Bush said this - "You work three jobs? ... Uniquely American, isn't it? I mean, that is fantastic that you're doing that." Yes, I cringed while reading that also... As noted, Romney gave his best Bush impersonation by saying the following at CPAC on Friday: "Single moms who are working two jobs so their kids can have the same kind of [things] other kids at school have. Dads ...
