Bob Herbert - Liberals, Hold Your Heads Up

Great editorial by Bob Herbert reminding all of us the amazing accomplishments of liberals in the US. I highly respect and agree with conservative's championing of traditional values such as honesty, sacrifice, hard work and family.

But let's remember the love, hard work, sacrifice (including jail time, verbal and physical abuse, even lives lost) given by liberals fighting for the repressed and ignored - women, blacks, the elderly, gays, our health, the environment.

Without these honorable fights against a highly resistant conservative status quo, where would we (and our brothers and sisters and children and parents) be today? Hear hear, Bob.
