Latest DSM talking point spotted

First, Politico (who managed to find a pro-Obama “Evangelical” to quote. Whoops!):

The rise of a new conservative grass roots fueled by a secular revulsion at government spending is stirring fears among leaders of the old conservative grass roots, the evangelical Christian right.

Next, Christian Science Monitor:

Emergence of the grass-roots “tea party” movement as a major force on the American political right is having a quiet but fundamental effect on the Republican tribe: Social conservatives have been voted off the island.

Yeah. Which has these guys so worried that there might  possibly be a small-l libertarian / SoCon split.  R-r-r-r-r-i-i-i-g-h-t!

And the Sunday papers aren’t even out yet!

I don’t think it’ll happen; I believe the social conservatives are smart enough to take half a loaf.

But should things go the other way, I tend to agree with Roberta:

...If things start to sort out into Those Who Would Run Your Life “For Your Own Good” (real scorn quote) and limited-gov’t people who figure morals are your own biz if you don’t harm others, I’ll be a happy camper.

And I know which I’ll vote for.
