Liberal or progressive? [View all]

[Riftaxe]

I am a liberal, and i will admit i have very little respect for progressives. My impression is that they substitute emotion for reason, and lord knows only a major idiot wants to carry their historical banner (screw eugenics, and '48). They tend to pick and choose from liberal ideology <can't argue with that> but never think about what brought us liberals to believe in such and end up being a liberals worse enemy since they lack the conviction and understanding to defend their believes without looking like a put upon 5 year old. To my reckoning progressives rank up there with the Tea party folks, and are just about as reliable <surely you cannot argue they have any particular distinguishing features>.

There was recently a thread about why progressives cannot sway the left over to them, the reasons were way to many to list in one thread (get over your childish purity tests, no matter how hard your head, the wall to force everyone to your particular flavor of belief is insurmountable especially since you do not know why you believe that which you do).


So this poll is to determine, do you identify as a liberal or a progressive.
