Another Way to Spend $99 On A Weekend Schmoozing With Conservative Ideologues

If you're unable to attend the "How to Take Back America Conference" in St. Louis, but still have $99 budgeted for conservative keynote speakers and happen to be in Washington, DC, please consider attending the 2009 "Values Voter Summit." There, at the swanky Omni Shoreham Hotel, you, wealthy Republican donors and right-wing activists can talk about why your values are vastly superior to all those silly libruls' values.

Roy Blunt will be speaking the afternoon of Friday, September 18.  Other invited and confirmed speakers include Sean Hannity, Bill Bennett, Bill O'Reilly, Rick Perry, Sarah Palin, Jim DeMint, Mike Huckabee and Stephen Baldwin -- yes, that Stephen Baldwin. 

Here's a sampling of what you will enjoy:

• GLOBAL WARMING HYSTERIA: THE NEW FACE OF THE "PRO-DEATH" AGENDA
  Dr. Calvin Beisner, National Spokesman, Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation
  • Why did the President's science advisor support coerced abortions to protect the planet?
  • Why are top abortion funders underwriting efforts to co-opt evangelicals on global warming?
  • If "people are the problem," what's the final solution?

Cap and trade is about more than saving the planet. It's the biggest tax hike in American history. It threatens to concentrate massive amounts of power into the hands of central government and international bureaucrats. And its ascendancy marks the rise of a new, more subtle challenge to the culture of life.

Ultimately, climate change hysteria rests on an unbiblical view of God, mankind, and the environment. Come and hear how the Cornwall Alliance is pushing back--producing ground-breaking studies on Biblical environmentalism, educating pastors and churches across the country, and activating thousands of Christians to rally against the hype through the WeGetIt.org Campaign. Learn why policies to fight alleged man-made global warming will instead cause hundreds of millions of premature deaths throughout this century, and how human liberty, responsibility, and flourishing are the key to a healthier environment.
 

• THE NEW MASCULINITY
  Dr. Pat Fagan, Senior Fellow and Director, Center for Family and Religion, FRC; Michael Schwartz, Chief of Staff, Senator Tom Coburn (R-Okla.); Dr. Matthew Spalding, Director, B. Kenneth Simon Center for Studies, The Heritage Foundation

  Feminism has wreaked havoc on marriage, women, children and men. It is time to redress the disorder it has wrought and that must start with getting the principles and ideals for a new "masculinism" right. Such a "masculinism" will have its dovetailing counterpart in a new "feminism" for they mutually define each other and, in nature, are meant to be complimentary. This panel will begin this exploration.
   

• THUGOCRACY - FIGHTING THE VAST LEFT WING CONSPIRACY
  Terry Jeffrey, Editor, CNSNews.com; Dave Freddoso*, Author and Political Reporter, National Review

  "Hate crime" legislation, removal of conscience protections for health care workers, the Fairness Doctrine, groups like ACORN intimidating voters and committing voter fraud, "Card Check" legislation to create a permanent majority - President Obama and the Democratic Party is doing all it can to suppress free speech that they disagree with and that threatens their plans for a "permanent majority" in power. Political pundit Michael Barone calls it a "thugocracy" and "Gangster Government," how real is this threat and how can we fight it?

I'm particularly interested in learning how "climate change hysteria rests on an unbiblical view of God, mankind, and the environment."  Also, it will be good to understand how feminism has "wreaked havoc" on my family and masculinity.

Just another weekend in your mainstream Republican Party.
