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.

    God, I Hope So...

    The so-called "Progressives" have destroyed the party in my neck of the woods.

    Aside from learning to recognize the progressive movement within the party, I have always shunned the "p" word, frankly, and have never been more proud to call myself a deep blue, capital-L Liberal.

    In the spirit of Paul Douglas and Paul Simon, as a follower of the party that saved democracy three times in the last century, I am a proud Liberal.
