  1. Progressive and Liberal are used interchangeably in the media (especially in Conservative media), but while the two may have some of the same goals, they couldn't be more different.  Like Kyle was saying, it's liberal to defend free speech, regardless of what they speech is.  The only speech that is not protected is speech that is designed to incite violence and, in the case of the courts, perjury.  Hate speech is nasty, vile, disgusted, and shouldn't be accepted in polite society, but it should be allowed.  The thing about progressives is, they aren't liberal.  Universities have been infested with these bad ideas and bad policies from Social Justice Warriors who want to make us all the same, not by raising us up, but by crushing us down into the smallest of us.  Don't elevate the minority's rights, destroy the majority's rights.  The progressive argument is, find speech you don't like?  It's not your responsibility to listen to it and reject it as bad or wrong, it's the group's responsibility to stop it.  That's no way to run a society, because it leads to a society deprived of liberty.  Stand up for liberalism, stand against progressivism.
