Please, take back control of our language: 

Those people in Washington and on TV are not Liberals, 

they are Progressives. People have been brainwashed by the TV to believe that government control of everything, and government robbing Peter to buy Paul's vote is liberal.  Whether they are for that or against that, they both have bought the TV dialog. Liberal was about Liberty and Freedom for the individual, the end of the slavery and serfdom that marked most of mankind's existence; not about making us slaves of the commons. Progressives are hiding behind that term "Liberal". Drag them out into the open - 

They are Progressives, and where they are progressing us to is particularly ugly.
