Now in Power, Conservatives Free to Differ

Now in Power, Conservatives Free to Differ

The "God" (sic) Republicans square off against the Money Republicans:

"Leon Kass, Hertog Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, said that 'it will be no great victory' to win new individual freedoms 'if the uses of those freedoms are debased, if families decay, if the general moral vision diminishes.'

Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform, took issue with those who would seek to use the power of government to curb what many others on the panel saw as a debasement of personal behavior and of the content of movies, television and music.

Instead, he argued, government should avoid regulating individual behavior as long as they are not 'stealing their wallets or burning their houses down.'"
