Check out this slightly faulty logic:
"The word "liberal" is a badge of pride. What is more embarrassing in 2008, to be associated with self-described liberals like Roosevelt and Johnson, Martin Luther King Jr. and Barbara Jordan...."
Problem: the average person would most likely never label Roosevelt as a liberal or King. If they think of them as anything they would think of them as Progressives.
Most people don't associate the word "liberal" with good stuff, frankly.
Liberal implies over-doing it.
"That guy snorted coke so liberally he...died. Painfully and alone. If only he hadn't been so liberal with his drug use!"
Like it or not most people think of liberals in the exact same context as eco-terrorists burning down houses in Aspen or Dennis Kucinich.
Let's just all get on the bandwagon on go with Progressive.
