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.

    Is it OK to be liberal again, instead of progressive?

    Being liberal has only been bad if you're in politics. Progressives, haven;t been very progressive, and god knows, the conservatives have been anything but conservative, how ever, dont' hold your breath for "Liberalism" from the Obama administration. The picks for cabinet positions are squarely centrist. Liberals will have to bombard representatives with relentless pressure to move the country and the needs of the common man forward.
