Liberalism has become a bad word, so members of the left are trying to call themselves progressives, again, a term abandoned a while back because it had gotten a bad rap as well. Today's hard left liberal progressive socialist Marxist commie bastard is now even trying to convince you that not only is it unfair to call them a liberal, but in reality they are not so liberal at all.
In an article by William Shapiro, in an effort to try to prove Barack Obama is not quite as liberal as those crazy, right-wing, extremist maniacs (like me) seem to think, Mr. Shapiro compares Obama to other people, who are not considered to be liberal, to prove that Obama is not liberal - even though the guy is the most liberal president this nation has ever seen.
