February 11, 2011--Former Gov.
Tim Pawlenty (R-MN)'s speech at last year's CPAC was seen as a bit
flat, but this year he gave a well-received speech with a fair number
of zingers in it. For example, Pawlenty's line that, "I’m not one
who questions the existence of the
President’s birth certificate. But when you listen
to his policies, don’t you at least wonder what planet he’s from?"
prompted enthusiastic applause. "The policies of the left encroach
every day on the very freedom that has made this country great,"
Pawlenty declared. "We
will never, ever, ever stop fighting for our
freedom." Pawlenty said, "We need leaders who remember
where
they came from, and what made this nation the greatest
country the world has ever known. [remarks]
