re: #269 Salamantis

I don’t mean just the distinction, I mean the differences. Like the thread topic; leftist anti-semitism is bleeding into liberalism, blurry the difference, just as leftist communist sympathies eroded much of the liberal anti-communism. Or is it that leftists are getting so much better as passing themselves off as liberals?
One could say the same thing, perhaps, about rightist nationalism infecting conservatism, but only if you hold that in many cases conservatives are lying about their motivations for border security in a time of war.
Perhaps in both cases it is that the out of power party goes to those that might be allies to try to regain power, and so conservatives are giving libertarians more say (which I generally support as a hopefully moderating influence on the statist tendencies of all polititicians) and the liberals parroted so much of leftist critique of America when GWB led it.

By the way, do you have a comment on liberals (Mrs. Clinton for example) taking on the label of progressive? Is it just re-branding, or is there a difference? (I know progressivism is quite different from classcial liberalism, but even non-leftist liberals have strayed far from classical liberalism, moreso than conservatives, imo, though not most representatives)
