27. I'm starting to notice more people speaking out and taking a stand.
Since Scott Walker's little power grab in Wisconsin, I've noticed more letters to the editor in my local paper speaking out against attacks from the right. Until recently, the opinion page had been filed with wing nuts regurgitating Limbaugh talking points, but now there is a difference. It's like the Left woke up. Now there are intelligent letters that make sense, putting forth good arguments with facts to back them up. I hope it keeps up.

The left in this country has the smarts. We can do this if we fight back with reason. We know what they are thinking; use it against them.

There are a lot of good writers here on DU. I hope you are all putting your ideas out there somewhere beyond just this website. I know there are many that do.

Take the time to teach a rightie. We have to try, even if it may seem too late.
