I skimmed the first third (I know, I know)...but the one thing glaring at me was how it turned everything into right vs left, conservative vs liberal, etc. Very bi-polar, when in fact, there are varying degrees of 'conservatism' and 'liberalism' out there. So I stopped reading. I'm going to liken it to Jon Stewart when he appeared on cross-fire...all that paper is is the writer following talking points of one side instead of taking a critical look at both sides, finding pros and cons of both.
