Ladies’ night

On stage at the National Review Institute with Kate O’Beirne, Mona Charen, Kathryn Lopez, and Laura Ingraham
If you’re not at the National Review Institute in Washington, D.C., you’re missing out. Last night, John Bolton kicked things off and Kathryn Lopez hosted an edition of The Conservative View–where real diversity of opinion reigned. We disagreed on everything from the key factor that cost the GOP the midterms, the importance of New Media, whether Republicans are too polite, and how much of a threat Jim Webb is. I would have liked to have delved more into the need to confront the spread of sharia at home and abroad (a women’s issue if there ever was one), but it wasn’t really the proper forum. I said my piece about the coming amnesty disaster. Laura was the most energetic and emphatic about the need for grass-roots conservatives to take action against the effete GOP leadership. I’d vote for her in a nanosecond.
Joe Budzinski has more pics.
It was a kick being a part of the panel, but the best part was meeting folks after the event. And there were lots of bloggers on scene: MKH, Ace of Spades, Ragnar, and Rand Simberg. Didn’t get to see them, but Paul Mirengoff and the blogger at My Man Mitt were also in attendance. Much more in store today.
While massive anti-war forces push for retreat at protests on the Capitol and across the country, NRI summiteers are hitting the reset button and leading a conservative revival.
Whether Republican leaders will listen…
