	Ontario Liberal Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Liberal Party of Ontario is descended from the Reform Party of Robert Baldwin and William Lyon Mackenzie, who argued for responsible government in the 1830s and 1840s against the conservative patrician rule of the Family Compact.
		The Liberals continued to decline after losing power, and, for a time, were eclipsed by the United Farmers of Ontario (UFO) when the Liberals were unable to attract the growing farmers' protest movement to its ranks.
		During this period, the Liberal Party was a rural, conservative rump with a southwestern Ontario base, and were often further to the right of the moderate Red Tory Conservative administrations.

	What's In A Name? Everything.
		Third, progressives are losing the framing contest at the long-term, grand strategic level as well, as the right has stage-managed another miraculous accomplishment by successfully portraying their broad movement as a people's populism, hiding its true purpose of engorging the gluttonous economic elite it actually serves.
		'Liberal' is probably too tainted a term to resurrect for a generation, and so we should proudly describe ourselves as progressives, and insist that others, especially in the media, do the same.
		Given these criteria, and that we do and should describe ourselves as progressives, I propose that one of the easiest and smartest single moves we can make toward winning the political war in which we are engaged is to start calling our opponents 'regressives' instead of conservatives.

		Liberals, more than conservatives, embrace political activism and are more likely to incorporate it into their church missions.
		Liberals, who dominate the bureaucratic hierarchy in mainline churches, reluctantly enforce rules progressives find objectionable, such as those forbidding ordination self-affirming, unrepentant homosexuals and forbidding gay marriage.

	Martin Gottlieb: LIBERAL, CONSERVATIVE -- Terms of Debate need Definition (insurgent warning)
		Liberalism is distinguished from socialism, which likewise professes to strive for the good of all, not by the goal at which it aims, but by the means that it chooses to attain that goal.
		When the liberal advises against certain popular measures because he expects harmful consequences from them, he is censured as an enemy of the people, and praise is heaped on the demagogues who, without consideration of the harm that will follow, recommend what seems to be expedient for the moment.
		Liberalism is not a policy in the interest of any particular group, but a policy in the interest of all mankind.

		Liberals today prefer to be called "progressives." They want to escape the negative connotations that have risen around the name for their ideology.
		The term comes from a Latin word meaning "freedom." Technically, a "liberal economic system" refers to free market, capitalist economics, as championed by today's "conservatives." The classical approach to teaching and learning favored by many conservatives today is technically "liberal education," referring to the equipping of a free citizen.
		Though "liberalism" has fallen into disrepute, "conservativism" has not been as effective politically or in influencing the culture as one might expect, given conservatives' political victories.

		As mankind becomes more liberal, they will be more apt to allow that all those who conduct themselves as worthy members of the community are equally entitled to the protections of civil government.
		Liberalism is the supreme form of generosity; it is the right by which the majority concedes to minorities and hence it is the noblest cry that has ever resounded on this planet.

	Liberal Vs. Conservative
		Liberals (in American usage) are those who tend to favor government intervention as the response to any issue, while conservatives tend to favor private initiative and voluntary action.
		Liberals generally favor a reduction of choice in the economic realm, while conservatives tend to favor more choice.
		There is, for example, no inherent reason why liberals who favor government regulation of the economy should oppose virtually all government regulations of abortion, or why conservatives who oppose government regulation of the economy should favor government regulation of abortion.

	Lapis Magazine, Article by Ralph Nader (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The farmer's progressive movement, while it did have certain conservative strains that today we would call racist, had an overall goal to take power away from the big railroads and banks, and reform the political process to include a direct democracy.
		Despite this liberal progress, why are the conservative corporatists and their vocal chords on cable TV and Fox Views lording over the liberal progressives in this society, who are openly apologetic, defensive and having conversations with their opponents that include the phrase, "yes, but." This is why history is so important.
		My second point is that progressives or liberals are often so overwhelmed by the brilliance of their diagnosis and analysis on the concentration of power and wealth, multi-national corporations and the many abuses and injustices that they never get to their next step.

	FRAMESHOP: Frameshop: Liberal
		Progressives are liberal on supporting the needs of people, liberal on support of the planet, liberal on democracy.
		I believe this country was founded by progressives on political ideals that were extremely liberal for their day and conservatives have fought and resisted every progressive effort to truly help an empower the people (womens' suffrage, civil rights, voting rights, social security, etc.) every step of the way.
		Since we prefer to be called Progressives, why not refer to them as "Regressives?" That describes perfectly their desire to turn the clock back to the days of McKinley and take away all the social (progressive) reforms of the past century.

		Progressives should be encouraged that those once on the margins of society have joined the political mainstream.
		Progressives should be encouraged that Bush, in his first term, put minorities in charge of all of his leading international and domestic agendas - national security, international diplomacy, education, not just talking about empowering minorities, but also putting them in positions of real authority.

	The false world view of liberal progressives
		Syndicated columnist Thomas Sowell's critique of the liberal bias towards "change," and the predilection for "root causes" was a barn-burner.

		With the exception of a few philosophers, most liberal progressives were vague about what their utopia would be like.

	The Fight for Tolerance
		These are uncomfortable times for that school of liberal thought which believes in progress and whose triumphalism of the past decade now looks so callow, with its assumptions about the capacity of the market economy to deliver wealth and political progress across the globe.
		Far from a decline in religion, we are seeing a powerful re-emergence of it in grotesquely distorted modern form, and the liberal progressives ensconced in the global anomaly of a secularised western Europe are hopelessly illiterate in understanding the religious imagination and how its traditions are being so grossly betrayed.
		Liberal progressives have some work to do to put their own house in order: tolerance and respect are not due just to ethnicity but also to faith.

		He led the Manitoba Liberal Party from 1931 to 1932, and brought the party into an alliance with John Bracken's Progressives.

		While the party's official platform is decidedly progressive, plenty of members support the death penalty and oppose abortion rights or gun control.
		Other progressive Dems have not been so embraced by the Democratic establishment -- like Progressive Democrats of Somerville, which, like PDM, was founded by former Reich organizers who wanted to preserve that campaign's energy.

		I have many people in my life that are liberal, and for some reason they do the same thing that the afore article does, take credit for certain historical events that may or may not have been devised and carried out by “liberals”.
		And the word "liberal" is meaningless, since its historical meaning more closely describes conservatism of the semi-libertarian variety, but in actual, present day use is simply an ad hominem dismissal.

		This was the year of Progressive Conservative Premier Dufferin Roblin's first majority win, and Desjardins joined ten other Liberal-Progressives in the official opposition.
		Given the lack of historical francophone support for the NDP in Manitoba, it was unclear if Desjardins would be re-elected in the provincial election of 1973, and his riding was targeted by a right-wing "citizen's" group in the amalgamated city of Winnipeg (which included St. Boniface).
		Desjardins held a membership in the federal Liberal Party for most, if not all of time in the provincial NDP, and openly supported Liberal Lloyd Axworthy's successful bid to enter the Canadian House of Commons in 1979.

		It was formed by those Prussian liberals who put aside their differences with Bismarck over domestic policy due to their support for his highly successful foreign policy, which resulted in the unification of Germany.
		The National Liberals' period of great dominance was between 1871 and 1879, when they were Bismarck's chief allies in the Reichstag, and were avid supporters of the Kulturkampf.
		Bismarck broke with the Liberals in 1879, when he turned to protection, which violated the free trade principles of the National Liberals.
