How did you like the way Hillary explained the word "Liberal" and replaced it with the word "Progressive".

I think it was interesting the way she sees "progressive" as interchangeable with "socialist". She surely isn't a "classical Liberal", and her views on taxation clearly put her up the authoritarian scale towards communism.
It doesn't matter what label you choose, or is affixed to you..... your actions exemplify what you "are", and Hillary is a communist, but only admits to being a socialist, while calling herself a "progressive".

It is getting a little bit old hat to keep calling Democrats "socialists" when there is such a drastic difference between them concerning the over all philosophy of politcs.

I would agree, but, overall almost all democrats are of the belief economicly that the state and fed know better what to do with your money than you do, and believe in a high taxation rate for a variety of "social" programs. That alone is reason enough to "label" them socialists, or even communists since they unilaterally prefer forced taxation for questionably valued social programs.
I have nothing against socialists if they keep their beliefs local and voluntary. I have a lot against communists, who believe in rule by force and deprivation, and don't recognize private property or individual rights.
I am a bit harsher than most, admittedly, but it's not as if I am not speaking the obvious. I'm just a little blunt about it.
