The information, quotes, and background all present the story a little better than the usually more progressive PI in this article. The story is important in that it reflects the story that the once grand old party of conservatives has moved away from the people and become a party of radical regressives largely controlled by a dogmatic and uninformed minority who ignore human values and people issues.
