Actually their preferred cover term now is "Progressive."

Leftist to English translation:

Progressive = Cover term for Liberals without the balls to admit it.

Liberal = Cover term for Socialists with out the balls to admit it.

Socialist = Cover term for Communists with out the balls to admit it.

Yep, they've been manipulating the language for several years now to try and bury the negative baggage associated with 'liberal," while adopting the mantra and lexicon of "progressivism" to make it sound like they are forward thinking (and us Conservatives as backward thinking). Personally, I think the original Progressives such as these men would be totally ashamed at what the liberal nut-freaks are now doing to their original cause...

For a history of true American Progressivism, see here:
