<Snipped quote by Prince of Seraphs>

I was more or less going for what they would do when they escaped the prison, as in the faction would still be around after the escape. [i]As for progressive I mean non left-wing politics, Sam is described as a traditionalist and his faction wouldn't allow liberals or communists in their ranks, that's what he is getting at.[/i]

Isn't that kind of the opposite of the meaning of "progressive"?  Progressive generally refers to left-wing political parties, and Liberal can refer to either left or right depending on the country.  In the US Liberal is generally considered the same as Progressive, and in Europe Liberal generally means Libertarian.
