Conservative activist David Horowitz’s Restoration Weekend, a pricey four-day Palm Beach celebration of conservative ideas, just wrapped up. I wasn’t there, but I followed some of the action from people who were, chiefly blogger Steven Rosenblum and CPAC director Lisa De Pasquale.
Some of the speakers:
Newt Gingrich
Ann Coulter
Fred Thompson
Dutch politician Geert Wilders
Phyllis Schlafly
Jonah Goldberg
Frank Gaffney
Steve Moore
Andrew McCarthy
Rep. Ed Royce (R-Calif.)
Rep. John Boehner (R-Ohio)
Rep. Thaddeus McCotter (R-Mich.)
Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.)
Liz Cheney
Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.)
ACORN videographers James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles
Democratic pollster-turned-Fox News pundit Pat Caddell
The speeches, according to Twitter accounts, provided naught but red meat.
From Pat Caddell: Conservatives need to financially support the efforts of Andrew Breitbart and David Horowitz. “You people aren’t doing enough.”
From Jonah Goldberg: Republicans need to start campaigning on repealing any health care bill that passes.
From Michele Bachmann: “I’m waiting for Newsweek’s series of Secs of State in running shorts. Think [Hillary] Clinton and [Madeline] Albright will sell copies?” According to Rosenblum, Bachmann told the crowd that Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) had stolen his election.
And for a flavor of the proceedings, here’s video of “Islamofascism” critics Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer.

What a concentration of mean-spirited, hateful people. Couldn't shower enough to rinse the stench of their bigotry off completely

All week we have been forced to take our runs up the mountain to avoid the smoke that has settled here from both the Southern California and Yosemite fires. The smoke finally gave us a reprieve this morning for our 12 mile tempo run. Although the visibility wasn’t as clear onitsuka tiger ultimate 81 as our Mammoth days usually are, I didn’t smell smoke in the air when I Asics Revolve Le woke. We all had good workouts this morning and Ryan ran in some sweet custom-made ASICS shoes that seemed to work for him, but I’ll let him tell you about it. The creek didn’t seem as cold this morning as we iced after the workout. It may have been because Mike gave me an Atomic Fire Ball and who can focus on the cold creek water when there is a fire inside your mouth? Earlier in the week Ryan and Sara Hall had a house warming party. Their new place onitsuka tiger by asics is great and who needs a television when you have huge windows with bats flying around outside! We were asics shoes sale entertained after dinner by moths outside attracted to the lights coming from the house. It was scary even with a thick pane of glass between us, but we were all glued to the windows. The bats, in their clumsy flight, Asics Alton flew by the windows and scooped up the moths one by one. It was fascinating. And how can I forget the bear I saw a few days ago. I was taking Aspen, my chocolate lab, up to the lakes above our house when a bear peaked out from the bushes. He didn’t even reveal his whole self, just his big knobby head. When he saw Aspen, he retreated back into the shrubs. Aspen was too obsessed sniffing around to notice, but it never gets old seeing the wildlife here.
