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.

    I consider myself a Secular-Progressive

    YES, that's right, the word Bill O'Really tried to introduce. I am everything he hates...I'm also not American, so I could care less what you call it. Progressive, to me, seems to be far more universal, however.

    A point about European (Neo-Marxist? WTF???) liberals. What's the difference between them and you? The same as between you and Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich...you technically agree with almost everything he says, but since your society doesn't take it seriously, you don't either.

    ps: Read up on Prussia, please...
