2. Liberal is a winning word. Liberals won the 20th Century. And all
nations except for Cuba practice some form of liberal democracy. Liberal, Liberal, Liberal, Liberal. A great word.

5. I simply refuse to allow the Republicans sully the name "Liberal"
I will NEVER use the word "Progressive"! I don't care if anyone else does but I will NOT allow the Republicans to back me into a corner and make me abandon the definition of my political being. If "Liberal" was good enough for JFK its good enough for me.

6. Liberals won the cold war, the World Wars, they have reduced poverty
in many parts of the world. And educated billions. Liberals are responsible for everything good that has happened in the last 200 years.

No wonder the GOP wants Dems to take a new moniker. There is nothing left in the world but liberal countries.
