Interesting ... using Blue Letter Bible ... it seems the NASB(95) has a more accurate translation. “Ancient boundary” Definitively addressing border of a landmass for a nation ... not a statue.

Thanks for the reference and opportunity to study this part of The Word a little deeper.

Progressive is a misnomer. It suggests an attempt at progress. Nothing could be further from the truth. Conservative is based on keeping things the same

In one sense yes - for exampll marriage - we want to keep marriage only between on man and one woman
Thus we have to make changes - in the law, ect

Because conservatives, like Rush Limbaugh, so throughly revealed how dangerous liberalism is to our nation, the “liberals” were forced to rebrand themselves as something less odious.

After years of polling and think tank pondering, “progressive”.was the choice.

It does sound harmless, doesn’t it?

peace to you

Good point!

So, lets see- I am a progressive to maintain conservative principals!

Modern Democrats often label themselves Progressive, but that does not express the full extent of it.

Their “progress” is decidedly ever more “left,” and generally means one of two things, or both.

One meaning is moving toward socialism leading to communism. The Bernie factor has had a large effect in exposing this.

The other meaning is moving toward an ever greater degree of immorality and godlessness.

The Dem Progressive Left is extremely anti-American, anti-America. This does not mean they are against all ideas about America, it’s that they want to replace all of the good ones with bad ones. That’s what they call progress.

The use of “progressives” is more about rebranding radical liberals (I.e. those that truly want to tear down the USA and start again and will lie, cheat, intimidate to accomplish that.

There are “liberals” in the old use of that term that worked hard for free speech and voting rights for minorities, Anti-discrimination laws for minorities and gay Americans and do on. These “liberals” were/are honest in the arguments and attempt to convince you in the merits of the issue.

This new brand of “progressives” are radical to their core. The only thing that matters is advancing the cause and if cities burn and people die that’s just fine if they get what they want…. Power.

peace to you

I also contend that they like progressive because it sounds much better than "liberal".
They do that all the time - here are two examples
Gay - instead of homose/ual
pro-choice instead of Pro-abortion

Easy test; if it's anti-:
American
Christian
Moral
Common Sense
Law & Order
& probably many more positive traits, then it's PRO-DEMOCRAT!!

But who determines what something makes an action as Anti-Americium?

Really? …….

Edit to delete diatribe. I missed the “anti” before the list.

apologies to just-want-peace

Sounds like someone completely misunderstood a post.

You are right. I missed the “anti” before the list. I’ll correct my mistake. Thanks for catching it.

peace to you

Pity, I’ll bet the “original was a doozy!!!!!”

Follow-up to your question; who determines ANY of the anti-?????

AFAIC, one has only to look at the immediate intended purpose of “the” action and the question is answered.
Who? The American citizen who loves & appreciates his country!!!!

Americium, huh? Perhaps a bit out of your element? But point taken.

The real issue with the Dem Progressive Left is that they are anti-Constitution. They are especially anti-Bill of Rights. And then they favor foreigners over citizens, criminals over the law-abiding. That pegs them as anti-America, anti-American.

The Dem Progressive Left detest the USA as established. Instead they envision a USSA—Union of Socialist Soviets of America. This is what they mean by Build Back Better. But first, they must tear down America, statue by statue and statute by statute.

To answer your question:

"PROGRESSIVE" IS A WORD NOW USED FOR "COMMUNIST"!

For a long time, every new party to come along has called itself "Reformist" or "Progressive". The Far-left Commies adopted that word to try to conceal their REAL political philosophy from other Democrats, but their actions speak for themselves!

and "Gay" is a word used for hom0se/uals -
but I refused to use 'gay' for that purpose
and I let others know!

I will be doing the same for "progressives"!

if they are liberals - then why should be ashamed to be called that~!
