If you support a progressive agenda, then support a progressive candidate.
There are desperately few good opinion writers and essayists out there either in newspapers or in the blogosphere. But Miami Herald columnist Leonard Pitts is one of a rare breed.
From his most recent column: Not long ago, I gave a commencement address in which I told young people I am less concerned with what they think than “that” they think.
This echoes a belief I came to a long time ago that "it's more important how you think than what you think."
Pitts added: One wonders how long we can continue to equate stupidity with “keeping it real,” being a regular Joe or Jane, and hope to continue leading the world... In recent years, we have seen intelligence demonized as the sole province of the “elite,” a term that once described accomplishment, but is now used to condemn anyone who looks like he might have accidentally cracked a book or had a thought.
