I’m a Ron Paul supporter. His libertarian infusion to the GOP is welcome relief from theocracy and autocratic overtones in vogue. As an individualist I welcome his commentary in forums like CPAC and elsewhere.

Klan hats? Confederate flags? Tom Tancredo-like ignorance? Nope. All of the above were thankfully NOT a part of my CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) experience.

At its best CPAC 2010 was nothing more than a partisan playground. There wasn’t anything of substance said. Republicans talked about taking back Congress in November and the White House in ’12 and their extreme dislike of President Obama and his policies and that was about it.

As an American, political scholar and Republican I was was utterly disappointed in the event. Instead of using CPAC as a partisan pulpit, Republican Leaders should have used this opportunity to share with the American people their ideas to fix the problems America faces.

This was a perfect time to speak about the importance of limited government, transparency and accountability.
