Sometimes its smart to take a word and twist it to mean something other than what it was meant orginally. It's what liberals did to liberalism.

That is a good point.

However, if the term has been that corrupted it would be a good idea to drop it.

Many of us would be called 'liberals' in the 19th century but we would not call ourselves that now since we know how the term has been corrupted.

It's also what the homosexuals did to the word "gay".
