Let's stop calling Liberals "Liberals" and start calling them what they really are:

Leftists.

Think about it.

Yeah, I think so too. I only call the ones "liberals" that haven't thought it through enough to realize that they are following socialism. But most of them have do realize it, IMO.

100 years ago, the word "liberal" referred to those who believed in limited government and individual freedom, as I guess most of us know. I read in "The Road to Serfdom," by Hayek, that it has only been relatively recently that the Left hijacked, as camoflage, the word "liberal."

Because they wouldn't be able to advance their agenda if everyone knew who they really were, and knew that their agenda would require the loss of our freedoms and tradtitions.
