This is so true. The capacity to do critical thinking.

And I am ashamed of so many years I turned to a trusted pundit to distill information for me. It has taken me a long time to appreciate the potential for “kool aid” drinking getting info second hand. FDL big help in exploring angles of issues. I am still a knee-jerk liberal about too many things. A lazy liberal. But trying to walk the walk… baby steps.

Study up before you get here.
96.9 WTKK has hired out of town ubergeeks who make big money telling us how “normal” Sarah Palin is and how hypocritical we are to ask about five, make that six kids under seventeen - plus that great new hockey husband - and a few legal problems in Alaska who’s just dying to run the Vice President’s office.

One of them calls his listeners the Best and Brightest. Yup. Yup.

Of course there is truth to the story of liberal intellectual elitism. Just look at my comment at 79.
