Wherein I agree completely with George Will (Isn't that a sign of the apocalypse?)
In his column today at WAPO entitled Who Isn't A 'Values Voter'? Conservative pundit George Will has started making a whol elot of sense and has revealed a very large rift that has been steadily developing between the social conservatives and the fiscal conservatives. This is truly worth a read.
Looking into the text you can clearly see the new dynamic that is ripping at the core of the GOP: The lockstep of conservatives is becoming broken by factional infighting between the socials and the fiscals. This missive from Will is another in the salvo between the religeous right and the wall-street right, and in so being, it hits a very accurate mark.
He is parsing conservative language in a way that no democrat has yet done effectively and he has a pedigree that no one can dispute. All in all it is an interesting turning point in the conversation but I am sure that Mr. Will will be right back on the attack on liberal ideals once the social conservative threat has abated.
