Is it any wonder that even those of us who consider conservatism and the GOP part of our birthright are moving away from those who use their corner of the "big tent" to rant against other Republicans whose "crime" is to take a leadership role in the 21st century? Three cheers for Arnold and Jon Huntsman as they strive for balance in a party that seems increasingly devoted to ignorance and stridency.
