Is it OK to be liberal again, instead of progressive?

Come out of the closet, liberals. Stop using the fashionable euphemism "progressive" and relaunch the old, tarnished L-word.

    Just use colors..

    Just use Red or Blue - just like football. "Are you a Red, or a Blue?" - that would really simplify things.

    Politically aware people are too complex for simple labels, the rank and file pinheads have this sports mentality and need the labels to keep things simple and easy to understand. Plus, you "liberals" are about to be betrayed by Obama/Clinton; so don't throw your "I'm a moderate" camouflage away just yet.

    When we have more than two parties, and more people become more awake, then all these labels will become obsolete.
