Liberal themes on Broadway

When I was sitting in the audience of a show on Broadway yesterday, I couldn't help but wonder what the conservatives in the audience must be thinking. The show in front of us, Mamma Mia, had plenty of references and undercurrents that downplayed marriage, upplayed sex, and took some wisecracks at Catholic upbringing. I even had to wince a little. It was a great show, great singing, but it left a taste in my mouth.

Is being liberal really about doing whatever you want, with whomever, with no one to judge you? Is that what we're really about?
