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

    LIBERAL! SMIBERAL!

    OF COURSE IT'S OK TO BE A TIMID LIBERAL.

    BUT

    WHAT THE US of A NEEDS ARE DEVOUT SOCIALISTS!

    IT'S TIME FOR A 3rd PARTY.

    AMERICAN SOCIALIST PARTY.

    ACRONYM: ASP.

    DO WITH IT WHAT YOU MAY.

    FOLKS I AM REALLY SERIOUS, I know the name Socialist strikes fear in the

    hearts of many citizens.

    You already have many Socialist concepts in practice, Unions, Social Security,

    unemployment insurance,etc etc etc.

    TRY IT YOU'LL LIKE IT.
