>If you believe in liberalism, you are a liberal, aren't you?

Yes, but if you actually go out and do something about it, you're a progressive. So it's been said, anyway. The two have been conflated a lot.

>How come there are so many liberals who call themselves "progressives" these days? Are they afraid of facing the reasons why the word "liberal" has such a negative connotation? (Besides, of course, blaming Republicans ...)

It shouldn't -- even Jonah Goldberg (who wrote Liberal Fascism) says he's a "classical liberal."

It really was the Republicans who made it a dirty word; it was purposely orchestrated. But I think the stigma really is wearing off.
