What's the Matter with Kansas? : How Conservatives Won the Heart of America
reviewed on + 147 more book reviews


This book is mostly about how much leftists hate middle Americans and American values. It is condescending to those who have a more conservative view and can not concieve of honest differences in perspective. There is merely us (the enlightened progressive) and them (the unwashed ignorant masses).

There is no awareness here that sometimes people want to throw out the bathwater, but still are very concerned about keeping track of the baby. If you aren't ready to heave the tub, you are just an ignorant jerk clinging to your guns and Bibles, as another progressive would say.
