I heard Mr. D’Souza on NPR today promoting his new book, Letters to a Young Conservative.
The letters are written to an idealized person, an anonymous and gender-neutral “Chris.” I’m actually very interested in what he has to say, though like most ideologues, D’Souza makes his point by black and white clarifications. In the interview on the radio today, he expounded his theory that conservatives believe that humans are flawed and therefore need reigning in and liberals believe that humans are essentially good but need guidance. Is this not really the same thing?
I don’t know too many Jews or Muslims or Buddhists named “Chris.”
