That first line of the article made me think of the famous quote from the movie "As Good As It Gets" when Jack Nicholson's character, a writer, is asked how he as a man can write about women so well, and he answers:

"I think of a man, and I take away reason and accountability."

I myself do no subscribe wholly to that, but when read this article that quote immediately came to mind, to paraphrase:

"I think of a Conservative, and take away reason and accountability."
