I realize that what we collectively know best about the CPAC is the parade of politicians who know better trying their best to pander to the lowest elements in the Republican Party. However, when something happens there that should give hope to not just us liberals and Democrats but Americans in general, I think we would all agree that these conservatives deserve credit and recognition. As such I would recommend your watching this video of young conservatives beating back the racist arguments of white supremacist Jamie Kelso, a White Nationalist recruiter. As Kelso tries to persuade these people, who he assumes would buy into his beliefs, that white Europeans own American culture and must fight integration with those of darker races, these young conservatives make arguments many would assume would more likely come from a conference of liberals rather than conservatives (it's a somewhat long video but worth watching):
Once again, the under-30 generation of Americans are far ahead of previous generations when it comes to ending the ignorance and intolerance of previous generations. It's conservatives like these who illustrate why I believe such cultural issues like gay marriage will become more widely accepted and will play a lesser role in future political debates.
