Use "progressive" as much as possible. The term deserves to develop the same stygma as "liberal" has.

Every Free Republic devotee should use the term "socialist" when referring to democrats. He or she should use this term with anyone that they discuss politics with. Doing this drives Liberals (progressives) up the wall. They get bothered to no end. Read up on socialism, get the socialist key words and tricky phrases, and throw these phrases back as proof that the democrats are socialists. Every once in awhile , for added effect, throw the word "communist" in.

BINGO!!!

Bingo!! This is *exactly* the type of tactic - stealing the language - that "progressives" have employed against US ever since Karl Marx (Or was it Noam Chomsky? I'm getting my progressives confused again...).

Clearly, they're on the run... As Nathan Bedford Forrest was wont to say, "Keep up the skeer..."
