In a recent Democratic candidate's debate, John Edwards provided a shocking answer to a provocative question.  He was asked about a controversy in Lexington, Massachusetts, where parents of second graders complained that their children had been exposed to a story in which two handsome princes got married to one another and lived happily ever after.

Edwards not only indicated he would have been pleased to see his own second grader exposed to any and all pro-gay propaganda, but offered a pathetic abdication of his role in providing values for his own kids:

"Even in second grade... I don't want to impose my view.  Nobody made me God.  I don't get to decide on behalf of my family or my children.  I don't get to impose on them what I believe is right."

A leader who's so shaky in his values that he won't try to convey them to his kids can hardly expect to be an effective President who champions values for the nation at large.
