Whats the difference between Progressive and Liberal?

Or is Progressive just a new word fro Liberal since the right wing bad mouthed it so much ?

Liberal isn't a bad word I guess some are ashamed to say it.

now try to figure that one out!

But we live in Progressive times. And Progressive times need Progressive values.

NGU.

Seriously.

The whole Enlightenment is under assault.

It comes from at least the early 1900s.

I think it's a better word than liberal for two reasons.

1) The US and the rest of the world disagree about what the word liberal means. In the rest of the world, a liberal is pretty much a fiscal conservative. I believe a fiscal conservative can be a social liberal, but that's besides the point. The point is that this is a confusing word. Whether we're in the US or elsewhere, people know what a progressive is.

2) People have turned liberal into a dirty word. I think we should use the word progressive to show people what a liberal really is. A liberal isn't somebody who wants to turn back the clock and take away all the freedom fought for when this country was founded. A liberal is somebody who wants the system to "progress". That's a progressive.

IMO
