Not liberals!

Liberal, to the common American, means cowardliness, peacenik, tax-and-spend, immoral attitudes, etc. Even our leaders refrain from calling themselves that.
Progessive means going forward, bright American future, and depending on how well versed they are in American history, Teddy Roosevelt.

The problem in a large part is the language. We can't win by using their language, and one of their terms is liberal. We need to start calling ourselves by our own terms.
