Lately, I see people labeling themselves "liberal progressive."
What does this mean? What do they believe differently than say a "liberal" or a democrat?

It means they totally ignore reallity and facts and base all there decisions on feelings of guilt and intellectual supremacy.

A liberal progressive is somebody who considers themselves to be liberal first, and progressive second.
Sort of the opposite of a progressive liberal.

It means they want to liberally partake of your money and progressively tax you into oblivion.

liberal progressive
Feels some remorse after they launch a cruise missile into an Afghan orphanage.
The feeling generally doesn't last long, then it's back to "climate change".
Change.

I always thought "progressive" was the new code word liberals used to try to reform their image, since referring to yourself as a liberal usually results in varying displays of revulsion by those in proximity.
People calling themselves "progressive liberals" kind of defeats the original purose of the term "progressive," which I always saw as an attempt to cover up the fact that you are a pussy liberal and also a dig on conservatism by implying conservatives are stuck in the past.

I meant next Tuesday. Lil was having internet problems and that was the soonest they could get it back up. But Lillian, being ever so resourceful, managed to get it fixed today.

Ahhh, I see. The geeks are sufficiently motivated just by getting a potent whiff of the pungent musk.
That must be some fragrant poon.

Because once you give it up, it loses it's power.
I'll bet you have a T-shirt that reads -
I have the pussy so I make the rules
Not long ago, I saw a chick wearing a shirt that actually said that. I didn't argue with her.

A liberal progressive is someone who actually gets laid--and doesn't revert to perpetual adolescence whenever...oh never mind.Here's the quick and clear answer to your burning question: It's the OPPOSITE of Pastor Ted "Meth" Haggard. It's the OPPOSITE of closet queens GW Bush and Karl Rove--and J. Edgar Hoover. It's the OPPOSITE of all of the puritanical insanity which informs the demented head space of the Tea Baggers. It is the OPPOSITE of the belligerent ignorance of the "Intelligent Design" Global Warming Denialists.
I think you get the picture.

It's a redundunt oxymoron.
'Liberal' is what progressives/radicals/socialists have been calling themselves since the mid-seventies, even though they represent the opposite of Liberalism. Something to do with constantly losing at the polls.
It's kind of like calling someone a 'pro-choice' Roe v. Wade supporter. In the current political climate, it's a distinction without a difference, but in reality they are polar opposites.

The left is really good in the use of language. George Orwell spelled that out fairly well. The right simply looks pathetic like when former President GW Bush used the term "compassionate Conservative" as if a Conservative has no compassion. That was bad enough. The most lame example was when the Conservative Party in Canada kowtowed to the left by calling themselves the "Progressive Conservative Party". Uber pathetic !

As opposed to being an underachieving dumbfuck like yourself. Now that we've got that straight, how about you go suck on a tailpipe?

Notice how Bri does not deny the statement posted by "Fandango" and simply calls that poster names. That is what poses as intelligent debate in the Trotskyite mind set.

Well he did call us liberal progressives "elite" and also implied that our knowledge was all encompassing. However, I did detect some sarcasm in the tone of his post. So I came to the conclusion that in his disturbed reality, smart and elite are somehow pejorative terms and responded in kind. Hope that helps.
