I hate to say things like this, but it is people like you who buy into this crap that make people believe that the majority of Democrats are against family values, morals, the kinds of things the vast majority of Americans -- southerners, westerners, and yankees -- take seriously.
I agree, I can't take pleasure in this article without feeling the childish "I'm-just-playing-the-role-you-wrote-for-me" mentality. In fact, my first impression of this article is that it must have been written tongue-in-cheek.
