I don't have time to go through the whole article, but I read enough to know what you're getting at. I've thought similar things myself.

Who is Jefferson Smith? I was expecting something scholarly instead it's just some guy pontificating. I could just as easily written Why Liberals Are Always A**holes and filled it with the same tripe.

I just finished the whole thing. It is Sophomoric at best. At least 90% of the article could be attributed to either party.
