What's the Matter with Kansas? : How Conservatives Won the Heart of America
reviewed on + 301 more book reviews


It was really hard to slog through this book. The author either made no attempt to actually talk to people who vote conservatively or he couldn't understand what they were telling him (Or they saw him as a lost cause and didn't waste their breath.) He keeps repeating the same old tired matras that liberals keep saying about conservatives. His logic was circular, using unproven "wisdom" to support his final destination. In the end, he was just too condescending for this conservative to take seriously. It only proved what I already know--that liberals don't want to spend the time and effort to understand those who don't think like they do.
