I have to agree with George Will on this one: Liberals dislike diversity in thought and conservatives now appear to be embracing it.
Will, one of the more noted conservative commentators and columnists in America, made the assertion on the Fox News Channel Sunday.

It’s an interesting twist.
Republicans are eating their young, as the late GOP state Sen. Teel Bivins of Amarillo used to say.
The party is waging war within itself, which Will says is not knew among the Grand Old Party. He cited the 1912 Teddy Roosevelt-William Howard Taft fight and the 1964 feud between the Barry Goldwater and Nelson Rockefeller wings of the party. He didn’t mention the 1968 and 1972 fights among Democrats.
But Will’s point about the Republican battle is that it’s becoming the more interesting party these days, as Democrats seem to be singing off the same page.
