See http://www.elsewhere.org/pomo/ for a Postmodern essay generator that yields writing of a similar style. Otherwise, I agree with Mr. Naureckas's criticism of the WSJ op-ed. One could an article every day assaulting the logical structure of WSJ's op-ed pieces. The comment above, by "Geri", is characteristic of computer-generated prose.

It appears that this may be one strand of many in a complicated political situation. Practically speaking, there is simply no way to know which elements of this Cokley election loss were determinative. Child sexual abuse cases draw hugh concerns and attention, but drawing conclusions from them can be misleading.
