This is why I refuse to call these guys and gals liberals.  They want the all powerful government involved.

Yep, the word liberal comes from the word liberty, which means the absence of coercion.  We all know that modern liberals are really about equality, not liberty. That is why I think the word leftist is a better fit for today's modern liberal or progressive.  I try to use the word leftist instead of liberal whenever I can.
