from my experience…

liberals are pushovers who bolster corporate america, whereas progressives get it done and are not afraid to hurt anyone's feelers doing it.

liberals feel the need to peg you on a spectrum, as they can only think of "left" or "right" (or something completely mediocre, like "center-left"): they live in a 2-dimensional world.

I laugh loud and hard when I hear american fascists whine about liberals -- as if liberals were a threat to changing their world!

I fear that Obama will turn out to be a liberal rather than a progressive.
