Progressive Liberalism

The “progressives” stole the term “liberalism” when we got wise to the name “progressive” in the early 1900s. Then years later, when those who knew what progressivism was were either dead or senile, or so old they didn’t care anymore, they changed it back and are now promoting the word “progressive” again. The problem is, the words are INTERCHANGEABLE. Liberalism today is NOTHING like the “classical liberalism” of the Founder’s time. Liberal in that day meant small government without much power, low taxes, etc. All the things conservatives stand for now. Liberalism today is basically an obfuscation word that means collectivist. (Just common sense)
