Dear Gregg Keller
For officially deciding that GOProud can’t take part in an “official” capacity at CPAC, I would like to say to you the following:
A shame. I was actually hoping to attend this year.

- gwjd: Of all we loved and honored, naught Save power remains; A fallen angel’s pride of thought, Still strong in chains. All else is gone; from those great eyes The soul has fled: When faith is lost, when honor dies, The man is dead! Then, pay the reverence of old days To his dead fame; Walk backward, with averted gaze, And hide the shame! -- "Ichabod," John Greenleaf Whittier https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/45486/ichabod
- Sean: I fail to see the reason why I need to feel outrage in all of this. Cruz's blurb certainly speaks truth and is hardly hyperbolic.
- DRJ: Disappointing. I'm sure he has convinced himself he can't do good/conservative things unless he wins, but every politician thinks that. That's why, over time, they lose their principles. We're seeing that happen in real time with Cruz. I understand Trump won but that means Cruz should focus on being a Senator, not a potential President. If he can't do that, then he needs to go back to being a Supreme Court lawyer.
- Luke Stywalker: Over a period of decades, portions of the Republican party have disappointed me, in cravenly catering to the whim of the moment instead of standing firm for party principles. I remember George Bush (1) holding up one of the little NAA .22 revolvers in a campaign speech when he was running for president, and saying they should be banned. Over the years, plenty of other leading Republican figures morphed into Assistant Democrats in similar ways. I've come to expect it, in periodic random doses, and my reaction is to support and vote for the people who stand their ground, and let the rest crash and burn as fate eventually foreordains. Yes, things are particularly egregious in the last two years, and a lot of one time "Republicans" have made it clear they were just pandering populists all along. They'll all follow the Juan Peron career track eventually, just a matter of how long it takes. Reality eventually catches up sooner or later, and the only real variance in the cycle is how bad things have to get before people's eyes are opened up. It's a pendulum thing.
- DRJ: When the FBI has closed a case and then decides there is a new/evidence reason to investigate, it announces the case has been reopened. For instance, the Emmett Till lynching was reopened in 2004 and the DOJ considered reopening it in 2017.
