All conservatives beware! There has been focus groups working day and night since November 2nd and what has emerged is the disappearance of the liberal and the rise of the Progressive.
Please note all MSM folks referring to the Progressives. Last night on O'Reilley he referred to Progressives repeatedly in the opening statement.
Progressives smell exactly like Liberals. Anytime you hear Progressive please correct the speaker fast

I don't know as that changing the term from liberals to progressives is a bad thing. I am a conservative and what I tell people that means is that I want to conserve the principles of "classical liberalism". Our founding fathers were liberals in that sence. The left took over the term liberal and perverted it. "Progressives" seems to me more on the money for those who claim to be liberal. A progressive would be someone who wants "progress" above all other considerations(tradition, preservation of institutions, etc.) We conservatives want progress only after careful consideration of its effects on all other aspects of society. I say lets start calling them progressives and restore the word liberal back to what it use to mean.
