Now I am not democratic or from the left. Nor am I from the republicans or from the right. But this article by an african american woman (who is a liberal) was amazing and points out the things I always talk about being a problem with liberals. Good read! (contains no offensive language):

Good thing I'm not a white liberal.... I was worried for a minute there. :sorry:

I thought you were "golden", so i never assumed you were "white".

There's a lot of minor differences, but the primary one is collectivism vs. individualism. Progressives are collectivist in nature, believing in structuring and reshaping both society and the individual for the greater good of the whole (i.e. the collective). Liberals believe in individual freedom, and that everyone should run their own life, with the same rights and protections as anyone else. Liberals believe society should be organized from the ordinary masses, while progressives have a much stronger tendency for a top-down approach.

If you want a better understanding, I'd suggest reading the writings of Frank Goodnow.
