I definitely agree that they shouldn't be called liberals. There is absolutely nothing liberal about them. Hell, I'm a staunch conservative and I'm far more liberal than they are. That's why I usually refrain from calling them liberals and opt to just call them leftists instead. I really don't like calling them "progressives" either (though I occasionally do) because most of their policies are actually regressive.
Yeah well it's actually a funny thing, because a lot of conservatives are technically a form of liberal since the US Declaration of Independence and Constitution are based on liberal political philosophy.
