ANother critique of the split in the GOP

Garrett Epps, a Professor at University of Oregon Law School writes

American conservatism has not one but two hearts: one is libertarian, the
other authoritarian. One heart proclaims "government must not make me live like
others;" the other insists "government should make others live like me." The
first heart beats in old-style conservatives such as Danforth and John McCain;
the second burns within figures such as John Ashcroft and Antonin Scalia.
Conservatives have all the power
