Language matters. Remember that “Liberal” was coopted by Progressives in the early 20th Century after “Progressive” became associated with Communism and Socialism.

I really think that it’s time to reclaim “Liberal” in the Classic sense of the word, and the fact that Millenials are already using it in the Classic sense is a big benefit. Progressives have readopted “Progressive” so let’s shove it down their throats.

Unfortunately we have both democrats and republicans desperately trying to drive a wedge between conservatives and libertarians.

Here here!

I am more liberal than Barack or Mrs. C and I am not ashamed to say it.
