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.

    TO: hawkpsd

    Josef Stalin was a vicious thug, not very different in spirit and mind as those other vicious thugs, GW Bush, Dick Cheney, Con Rumsfeld, John Ashcroft, Alberto Gonzales, and others...

    The real difference was that the latter happened to be living in a still somewhat liberal USA (though they did everytyhing they could to make it a fascist state).

    Put that in in your Rethuglican pipe and smoke it till it comes out of your ears.
