Argh, I hate when they do that. Stories can have morals, they can have themes, they can express the author's opinions, but when they outright tell the reader what to believe, they become no better than Chick Tracts.

I occasionally advise a goodfic writer on his politics-themed, dystopian future, conspiracy theory piece starring the Power Rangers (don't ask), and what I always say to him is, don't let your own politics take over your writing. That's what killed Civil War.
