@TIME everybody's almost forgotten about Ebola already, but Ferguson has kept the public's attention for months

@rolandsmartin Both issues are important, but ebola is a much greater threat to humanity. These ebola fighters are risking their lives.

CPAC: WHY CONSERVATISM IS RIGHT FOR WOMEN

In a relaxed but rather hard-hitting women's panel on Saturday at CPAC, Tammy Bruce moderated a discussion titled "Why Conservatism is Right for Women: How Conservatives Should Talk About Life, Property, & National Security."

The symbolism of scheduling the panel for Saturday - which was also International Women's Day - as a lead-in to Sarah Palin's speech probably explains why female speakers at CPAC were not scheduled earlier in the conference.

It was strange, however, that even though the GOP boasts four of this country's five female governors - Nikki Haley (South Carolina), Susana Martinez (New Mexico), Jan Brewer (Arizona) and Mary Fallin (Oklahoma) - none were scheduled to speak.

But the women on this panel were determined to make up for the relative lack of female speakers with some brutal truth about what the GOP needs to do going forward with regards to women's empowerment in the party, messaging to women in the electorate and supporting those GOP women who are in the arena when they are attacked by rabid PIGressives.

"Why do we continue to allow men to talk about our issues?" asked Crystal Wright.

"If women in America think that Republicans and conservatives hate them, they're not going to vote for us," Kate Obenshain, author of Divider-in-Chief: The Fraud of Hope and Change, pointed out.

"We have the message," Marilinda Garcia, a State Representative in the New Hampshire House of Representatives, noted later in the panel. "But we lack the messengers."

It's a fast-paced discussion and I strongly encourage everybody to make time to watch the video in its entirety.
