Dems accede labels to conservatives.

Have you noticed that the Conservatives have become very adept at using labels with negative connotations when referring to ideas proposed by liberals or to liberals themselves?

They have been so successful at this tactic that liberals have even changed their name to Progressives.

So, what's wrong with the label "Liberals"?  Here's what Webster has to say about it:

Liberal: Broad-minded, not bound by authoritarianism, orthodoxy or traditional forms."

And what about conservativism?:

A political philosophy based on tradition and social stability, stressing established institutions..."

In other words, liberals are willing to try new ideas, and conservatives are stuck in the old ways.  Hmmm!
