Who's killing the GOP?

The other night while I was driving, I was listening to npr talking about the political scenes in the US. They had a speaker who's the author of so-and-so book. Can't remember his name for the life of me.Anyway, the guy talked about how the current conservative position is not the traditional conservative position at all, that it's been hijacked by the religious right. For example, he talked about how the true conservative position would be to include as many people into mainstream society as possible and therefore would actually encourage gay marriage (or gay civil union) to encourage long term relationships among gay couples.Does anyone know what books and who I'm talking about? I was driving on a rather busy highway, so I was only giving the program half my attention input.

I don't think conservatives in this country understand that a constitutional amendment is the highest law of the land, which means more federal government intervention in people's lives.
