Abstract

Introduction

thomas frank has been deeply astonished and revolted with the myth of the "two-nation" America which has been cultivated by various opinion makers - especially popular journalists. This observation motivated him to look for this true America that so many op-eds and public intellectuals were talking about. This America from the "heartland" became his domain of investigation where this young journalist wanted to check if the myth of the polarized America that was presented to all the Americans was indeed a reality. This process led him to the writing quite a long and precise book on this very topic, it is named: what's the matter with kansas?

His Kansan roots oriented his choice of a strong conservative and genuine part of the United States he could analyze cautiously and plainly. In effect, George W. Bush scored about 80 % in this state in the 2000 election. The author was looking for a state that could faithfully represent what the blue-collared America that one described as "righteous", "simple" and naturally, strongly "Christian" was really about.
