Honey, you must be the only person alive who can hear a small p in a speech, LOL. But, maybe Sarah Palin is using a small p, like Hillary [the woman Sarah admires so much]:

RUSH LIMBAUGH: From Politico.com today:
“Hillary Rodham Clinton was asked this summer if she would describe herself as a ‘liberal.’ The Democratic front-runner shied away, saying the ‘word’ — noticeably not using the word — has taken on a connotation that ‘describes big government.’ ‘I prefer the word “progressive,”’ she said. It has a ‘real American meaning.’ Then she expanded the term to ‘modern progressive,’ and, finally, clarified that she was a ‘modern American progressive.’
These are heady days for Democrats. The party is favored by almost all measures in the coming presidential contest. But while Democrats are emboldened, they remain wary of the term ‘liberal.’ Republicans, by contrast, are as unpopular in the polls as they have been for at least 15 years. Nonetheless, the label ‘conservative’ remains in vogue.”
This is a whole story about how liberals don’t like the term “liberal,” and why not? Because it’s accurate! It does mean big government. The way they are today, it means socialist, for crying out loud — and they’re all about protecting their real identities. They’re all about shielding who they really are. They’re all about making you think that they’re people they’re not. . .

The misunderstanding is not your fault. It’s the fault of the cultural marxists who have turned language upside down.
Leftists call themselves “progressive” in the very same way a criminal insists he didn’t do the crime.
The assumption behind the word progressive is that it means progressing in a forward direction, in the direction of improvement.
But leftists “progress” in a backwards direction, from liberty back to tyranny or from freedom back to oppression.
Palin is only reclaiming the use of the English language. Palin is using the word progressive in the real way, not in the way the political correctionists use it. As always, she’s several moves ahead of the marxists.
