Initial Thoughts on True Enough

To be quite frank, I came to college with no political intelligence nor any interest in it. Unfortunately, our country is extremely political, and after taking fair notes in my American National Government class, I can tell you honestly that now I know what a Democrat and what a Republican is. If you don't believe me, here's how I know:
R=Right Wing=Conservative=Republican
L=Left=Liberal=Democrat
Elementary? Maybe, but don't they say everything you need to know you learn in kindergarten.

Back to the book though, which I find extremely interesting. Speaking from a seminar standpoint, none of these conspiracies ever entered my public sphere. Needless to say, I am shocked and scarred at the fact that there is evidence that our country may have, indeed, terrorized itself. Or that a presidential candidate may have blatantly lied about his military credentials.

Excuse me while I [clear my throat] and continue with Manjoo's writings.
