Indeed they do (despite what I'm saying here, some of the stuff I've seen around me lately is boarderline scary), but seperating from the "God and Country" crowd could be what gives them an identity amongst more grounded conservatives and thrusts them from side show to mainstream. But it really depends on which ideology wins out in the end, will they reject the Palins and Becks or turn into GOP part II?
But again as long as they center their identity around "Obama sucks" its really hard to tell what direction the whole thing moves.
