The Conference is to be a collection of individuals who are seeking values, honor, moral and ethical behavior in the U.S. which according to the Family Research Council are suddenly missing since the election of Barak Obama.
To emphasize the importance of values the "Conference" invited Republican politicians as well as a few FOX and Ultra Conservative entertainment personalities to bring home the message that if not a conservative Republican , there are no values at all.
Newt Gingrich the thrice married twice divorced ex House Speaker will present. He may mention how marriage is and Institution that is a solemn right of one man and one woman. It is a bond not to be broken, that is until you cheat, and decide that the bond is tighter with someone else you find a lot sexier.
Mike Pence, Congressman from Indiana, spoke. He talked about the Christian approach to the whole Health Care Reform debacle. Representative Pence stood like a preacher as he proudly said he could not sponsor any reform that included "on demand abortion". He spoke of the Obama plan as one so unChristian that any real elected official with any values or conscience could not vote for it. The problem is, there is not clause for "on demand abortions" nor any plan to include abortions in the reform package. So we are suppose to think that abortion is wrong, but lying, fabricating being dishonest about it is okay. There is no value in abortion but plenty of value to tell a downright out and out lie
Then Carrie Prejean, the ex Miss California with just the appropriate amount of cleavage showing, stood to the podium and dumbfoundly and full of amazement and disgust, talked about how the Liberals in this country have no regard for fair and equal. How she was robbed of her crown because she said same sex couples should not have the same equality as opposite sex couples to wed. Carrie was appalled by the Liberal response and that she was now treated with inequality and unable to speak her and Jesus' mind. Values of exclusion and hate are okay but values of inclusion and love are appalling. ( No mention was made of Ms Prejeans nude pictures).
Bill Bennett is scheduled to speak, he was the Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy for President George H.W. Bush. He was the the Drug Czar. Mister Bennett who argues that self discipline is a virtue is a High Stakes Gambler and had been seen at some casinos in Vegas throwing around a lot of cash, gambling. Mister Bennett is full of phrases and statements mocking the unethical life of those who can not control their urges with drugs or alcohol or gambling, but feels his issue is just a hobby and not he same kind of problem of true unethical unChristian like "low lives". (He has enough self discipline to gamble at respectable casinos.)
Mike Huckabee, ex Arkansas Governor, turned talk show host, spoke. Aside from explaining why Jesus would not like the Health Care Reform package offered by President Obama, (he thought Jesus would not like the plan because it meant the Government urged you to stay healthy, and that takes away your free will), he also criticized the President for having too many Russian sounding leaders in this country called Czars. Of course Huckabee never mentioned the Czars named by Presidents Reagan, George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush. Nor did Mister Huckabee mention that one of those Russian sounding appointees was speaking to the audience in the form of Bill Bennett, ex Drug Czar for President George H.W. Bush.
Sarah Palin will be a no show, so I am wondering who will talk about completing a task, raising your children and hunting.
So the Values Voter Conference is meeting this weekend. I am supposing to be involved with this group you must have been divorced at least two times, take the truth and twist it into a lie, complain about the lack of self discipline of others, never demonstrate the facts but highlight the fiction, explain health care is your responsibility if you want it or not and never own up to any mistakes you have made. Wrap all of it in the glorious colors of red white and blue, only colors a true Evangelical right wing Christian can see, add the name of Jesus to the mix, carry a gun, demonstrate bits and pieces of Bigotry so you can find true Value.
Each and every day this world of ours gets more confusing and complicated and dumber and dumber.
