When duck is a duck & progressive is a liberal is a socialist

I read an AP article yesterday where Hillary Clinton talks about "shared prosperity" and she says "I prefer a 'we're all in it together' society..." She calls herself a "progressive" but certainly acts and talks like a socialist. I find it interesting that conservatives call themselves conservatives, proudly, yet socialists call themselves anything but socialists. They like the term progressive, occasionally label themselves liberals, but, heaven forbid, never refer to themselves with the most accurate term... socialist.

Hey, if it walks like duck, looks like a duck, quacks like duck, then it must be duck. The same should apply to politicians. If it talks like socialist, makes proposals like a socialist, wants programs like a socialist, then it must be a... progressive, ah, um, liberal, ah, er, socialist? Right?
