The Tea party propaganda has really worked

people here scared to associate themselves with the word liberal
I'm a proud progressive and liberal. I support gay marriage, measures to prevent financial crises, measures to prevent environmental crises, measures to give everyone equal opportunity to succeed (aka free education for all) and measures to reduce both national and international inequality.
The only 'liberal' (though not really) stances I don't support are the anti-interventionist stances and a higher tax on business for the sake of it.
