Liberal or progressive?

Different people will interpret the two terms in such a way as to better validate their own opinions; hence, any label applied to me is wholly predicated on the interpretations of whomever is doing the labeling.

Regardless, I've always found it much more accurate and illustrative to look at a person's deeds rather than any label they may or may not give themselves (although it is often telling to see what a person uses more in conversation-- "I" and "them" or "us". i.e, division versus unity, loss of energy versus efficiency, etc).

I vote for Democrats and consider myself a Progressive, a Liberal, a Democrat, and many, many other imaginary labels... take that as you will. Apply your subjective definitions, your personal standards, and I'm sure it will be allowed all the credit it is indeed and in fact, due.
