Political progressivism

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

Political Progressivism or simply Progressivism is an ideology and political philosophy whose adherents promote policies that they believe would reform a country's government, economy, or society.

Strother's post below talking about progressivism got me to thinking, "How can a liberal Democrat call himself/herself a progressive???" I'm not picking on Strother... I'm just wondering what's so progressive about the liberal Democrats agenda. Their agenda is pretty much the status quo on domestic policy and foreign policy affairs; they are still stuck in the New Deal era and the Great Society era. :-)
