PROGRESSIVE MY ARSE!

Liberals dont have the COURAGE to ADMIT they are LIBERALS. They use the
PC word "progressive" in it's place because they dont have the GUTS (or
intellect)to argue (with reason instead of name-calling) their true
position on ANYTHING

I think the term "progressive" is appropriate. The progressive movement
formed sometime around the end of the 19th century and the progressives
favored the use of do-gooder government to enforce their ideas of social
justice and equality.

Liberals, at least in the 18th and 19th century sense are similar to modern
libertarianians.

I like the return of the distinction between liberals and progressives, and
I hope the distinction becomes even clearer.

I'd be even more pleased if old fashioned liberalism came back as a potent
political force in the US.
