Always have been. Always will be. And darned proud of it!!!
My husband wears a shirt that says PROUD LIBERAL and I drive a car with a PROUD LIBERAL bumper sticker. Can't imagine displaying something that says "Proud Progressive."
We can't even conceive of using the term "progessive" to describe how we think and what we've worked a lifetime to accomplish. And we've repeatedly urged others not to use it either because there was never anything to be ashamed of in the title LIBERAL. Some of us stuck to our principles as the DLC tried to change the Democrat party to republican-lite. We were never in the closet. We may have been viewed as stubborn old folks, out of sync with the latest terminology, but we stuck by our pride of liberalism and now we're glad to see the rest of the folks are coming around.
